  Toronto is considered to have the largest real-estate market in all of Canada. Ending 2016 with record-high sales figures, according to the Toronto Real Estate Board, only solidifies this claim. This is in stark contrast to Vancouver’s market behavior, which slowed down as the year ended. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported a decline in sales versus 2015 at 5.6 percent. The Toronto Real Estate Board reported an 11.8 percent increase in residential property sales as compared to the previous year 2015. This total 113,133 residential property sold via the MLS system.

  A new year is upon us and with it comes a sense of hope and the feeling that this is the year that your goals will see fruition.  While this feeling is great, the only way to make it last is to be clear and disciplined.  You want to save money, then put together a budget with the help of a financial professional.  You want to lose weight (I’m not talking to you, you look great!) then set up a daily exercise plan preferably with the help of a fitness professional.  You want 2017 to be the year your ...

  There has been some exciting news that has come out in the past week or so.  One item being Pantone has picked it's colour for 2017 and wait for it..... it is Greenery!  Sure, we look out the window now and everything is covered in white but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the fresh, outdoorsy feel of Greenery throughout the year by incorporating the colour in our condos.  Greenery on an accent wall, or perhaps a Greenery pillow or a Greenery throw thrown on the couch.  The whole couch Greenery you say?  That may be a bit ...

  It's that time of year to start chipping away at that Christmas shopping. (Although some "I'm so cool" people probably finished their shopping in Sept).  But for those of us who still have a lot of shopping to do and have no idea what to give anyone, we'd better get off our butts.  If you have a Millennial on your list, I've come up with some ideas through my extensive Googling.  Apparently Millennials like experiences more than actual gifts, although I'm sure they won't complain if you buy them a car.  So if you've got a Millennial on your ...

  Productivity is what everyone is always trying to improve.  The amount of time I've wasted reading articles about increasing productivity is ridiculous.  And yes I see the irony in it.  The latest productivity hack, the so-called experts are saying now, is that the most productive hour is 4:30 am.  This is where I draw the line and say "get off me bro".  What happened to the so-called experts that say you need a decent 8 hour sleep?  You want me to sleep at 8:30 pm now? Come on.  I say the most productive thing I can do is stop reading and listening ...

Last night's World Cup of Hockey championship game was amazing.  Team Canada was clutch and won the game with a heroic last-minute shorthanded goal.  The talent on Team Canada was off the charts with Sidney Crosby being named MVP of the tournament.  The excitement of the World Cup of Hockey tournament had downtown Toronto even more alive and buzzing than normal.  It is such a thrill to live in such an exciting city where there is always something to do or see!  For those who love sports and find themselves at a lot of games at the Air Canada Centre ...

It's the day after Labour Day, better known to parents as the day the kids go back to school!  So now that those adorable monsters have something better to do with their days then drive you crazy, it's time to recoup.  Plan out the goals for the remaining months of the year.  When 2016 started did you have hopes of moving this year?  Perhaps into something larger to accommodate the growing lads and lasses or perhaps into a location that would just be a dream to live in?  Something with access to great parks and schools, or amenities and work?  ...

  The summer Olympics are on and it is amazing to see all the wonderfully skilled people in the world!  The friendly good sportsmanship of the Olympics makes it a truly inspiring event!  It is also pretty motivating, as let's face it, these athletes are in great shape!  Us non-Olympic athletes perhaps could use more time in the fitness rooms.  Does your condo have a fitness room?  Chances are it does, even if you choose to ignore it!  So bring out your inner Olympian and see what amenities are yours for the taking.  Most condos nowadays come with a pretty ...
