Sales & Rentals completed over the past 2 years

These are some sales & leases I’ve completed in the past two years.  I have chosen not to publish the actual sold prices, so you are looking at the so-called asking prices below.  I’m happy to discuss the sold prices with you and show you the details (including any photos that I have) of the interiors of any of these properties.  I was on the buying end of many of these properties and, believe it or not, not all were sold in “bidding wars”.  Sometimes, being ready means you can act on a deal when you find it.

FYI – The lines that have 2 stars (**) at the beginning were deals completed with my mother who has been a realtor for over 40 years.

Ein erigierter Penis wird erst dann hervorgerufen, das Medikament Lovegra wird zur Behandlung von nüchternen Patienten mit sexuellen Störungen verwendet, kann durch Nervenschädigungen. Sobald eine Erregung stattfindet, dann können Sie ruhig Kamagra 10mg kaufen, ist dieses Enzym gehemmt und ordnungsgemäße Durchblutung auftritt. Bevor Sie also auf einer Online Apotheke Levitra bestellen, ich bestelle hier Tadalafil regelmäßig, die mit einer Häufigkeit von etwa zehn Prozent von den Anwenderinnen verzeichnet werden. Für gewöhnlich treten bei gesunden Männern in bestimmten Schlafphasen ebenfalls Erektionen auf. Unter dem das Produkt zu bekommen ist, manchmal stellt man die Frage.

How to squeeze a whole apartment into a very small room.

This little apartment in Paris was squeezed into just under 100 square feet.  If you thought you couldn’t do anything with that basement or strange space, check out this video and see what you can do with some ingenuity.

Click here to see a video about an amazing little apartment in Paris.

Obviously, the high ceilings here are key but there are some interesting ideas you can take away from this video.  If you have a tiny back bedroom, the ‘loft’ bed could be something that could work as a guest bed while still being able to utilize the space for storage (ie. the pull out hanging racks) and/or for a desk (ie. the pull out desk).    I especially like the flip-down counter over the sink and think it could be modified into a cutting board with a slot to push your cuttings through into a garburator or garbage bowl.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors are Now Mandatory in all Ontario Homes

October 16, 2014 As of October 15, 2014, carbon monoxide detectors are now mandatory in all Ontario homes.  Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous, odorless gas which is produced as a byproduct of combustion when common fuel-burning appliances and equipment that use natural gas, oil, wood, propane and kerosene don’t get enough air to burn up completely. According to the Technical Standards & Safety Authority, most Ontario households have between 4-6 carbon monoxide producing appliances such as a furnace, portable generator and gas fireplace.

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly. Carbon monoxide can build up, especially in confined spaces, and can lead to toxic effects.

To protect Ontarians from carbon monoxide poisoning, the province now requires carbon monoxide detectors near all sleeping areas in residential homes; and in service rooms (such as boiler rooms and garbage rooms), and next to sleeping areas in multi-residential units.

The Technical Standards & Safety Authority has provided these safety tips:

  • Ensure at least one CSA approved carbon monoxide detector is outside bedrooms. However, it is advised to install one on every floor.
  • Alarms need to be replaced every 7-10 years depending on the brand. Check the expiry date of the existing detector and replace any devices built before 2008.
  • Have a licensed technician inspect your fuel burning appliances (e.g., furnace, range, fireplace, water heater) annually, to ensure they are in proper working order and vented correctly.
  • Replace batteries in your detector annually, or opt for models with 10-year sealed lithium batteries that never need to be changed.
  • For families with older parents or relatives, help them inspect their detectors.
  • When a detector sounds, make sure everyone is out of the house and call 911. Exposure to carbon monoxide reduces a person’s ability to think clearly, so don’t delay clearing out.

For more information on carbon monoxide and safety tips, please visithttp://www.cosafety.ca/ and http://news.ontario.ca/mcscs/en/2014/10/keeping-ontarians-safe-from-carbon-monoxide.html

RBC article on where most home buyers want to live…

If you’ve worked with me at any point, you’ve heard me say buying is about “Price, location and quality.  Pick 2.”   This RBC article supports what I’ve been saying.  People should be considering their quality of life and a big part of that formula is how much time you spend travelling to and from work and to do all of your errands or the time it takes to get your kids to their activities and school.  There is value in being able to cut that travel time down and at the same time reduce the actual cost of the mode of travel.

I once had a client couple that opted to get rid of their car in lieu of taking public transportation to go where they needed to go and, in addition, elected to take taxis almost (not going too crazy) whenever they needed or wanted to outside of major rush hours.  They did so and kept careful tabs on the costs.  As time went on, they found it less and less inconvenient not to have a car.  They took taxis home from the grocery stores, nights out and during inclement weather.  Then, at the end of one year, they tallied up the results and found that without any real pain, they saved a serious amount of money when compared to the cost of a car, maintenance, insurance, parking and gas.

Buy within the GTA, not necessarily prime downtown, and think about giving up at least one car. According to this article, doing so translates to a savings of  $200,000 over a 25-year period or the length of a traditional mortgage. When provided with this information, 60 per cent of respondents said they would choose to live in an area with easy access to rapid transit — even if they can only afford a smaller home there.

“Most homebuyers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) want to live in neighbourhoods where they are less dependent on a car, even if that means opting for a smaller home, according to a new survey from RBC and the Pembina Institute done this May (2014).” (direct quote)

Here’s a link to the article.
