1st Annual Don Mills Indoor Kids Garage Sale

Many years ago after a joint birthday party our boys were opening their gifts and asked us if they could take a break. They were tired from opening gifts....could you imagine?

That's the day the thoughts started to form on how we could foster gratitude in our kids. The idea for a kids garage sale was born.

As their birthdays approach, we're helping them launch their first annual Kids Indoor Garage Sale where they donate gently used toys, books, games, sports gear, etc. and ask their friends to do the same. Thanks to those who have already donated.

DM me or call 416456-6984 if you have anything you'd like to donate.

All proceeds will go to 100 Strong Foundation. https://100strongfoundation.ca

MARKET UPDATE FOR THE WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 23RD, 2018

Should you list low and generate multiple offers, or should you list the property at what you think its worth? That seems to be a popular question in the office this week. There are many factors to take into consideration. The location, the condition of the property, and the price point. When you look at new listings coming out at least eight out of 10 properties have an offer date. What we are not seeing as much these days are bully offers.

The number of new listings came in at 2,776 for the end of January slightly lower than a year ago at ....

MARKET UPDATE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 19TH, 2018

The Toronto real estate market has had a sluggish start with slim listings and hesitant buyers. Generally speaking January is a slow month for new listings, but the demand is high and now that most of the snow has melted it is time to start seeing "For sale "signs popping up. Sales have dipped 6 percent in the first half of January in the GTA area compared to the same period last year. It seems the overall market is affected because of the 12 percent drop in condo sales so far in January compared to the same time last year.

 

In the freehold sector listings continue to be a source of concern. A year ago there were 251 new listings compared to just 209 this year. The good news is there were more sales posted this week up by almost 34 percent compared to the previous week. As we continue, the hope is more Sellers will come to market soon and not wait until March. The demand is strong thanks to a robust economy. The condo sector has seen more listings come to market. Last week we had .....
