■Let's Submit an Offer!

Etobicoke’s Humber Bay Shores Park

My client fell in love with this newly built condo in Humber Bay Shores Park and decided to submit an offer on beautiful sunny evening.

This “Toronto’s West Coast, so to speak, an area that was known as ‘the Motel Strip’ up until just a few years ago, but which is now one of the most complete transformations that any area of Toronto has ever seen.”

This area is perfect for her because she needs to commute to both Mississauga and downtown Toronto. This community got everything she needs such as Italian Restaurant with patio to hang out with her girl friends, French Patisserie and Bakery for some treats, a grocery store with a friendly owner, Mani & Pedi Spa which got the best price and more!

The offer we submitted was accepted and she will move in on July 25!

エトビコ市のハンバー・ベイ・ショア・パークエリア

ミササガとトロントのオフィスを行き来しないといけない方におすすめの新築コンド。数年前まで古いモーテルが立ち並び寂れたエリアが今では“トロントのウェストコース”と呼ばれ、トロントで一番大きな変化を遂げたといわれるエトビコ市のハンバー・ベイ・ショア・パークエリア。

7月25日めでたくこのコンドの住民になるジュリーが、おしゃれなイタリアンレストランのパティオで友達とディナーしたり、フレンチベーカリーやスパに足を運ぶ彼女の姿が思い描かれます。

■Market Watch-June, 2014

Tight Market Conditions Prompt Strong Price Growth

June 4, 2014 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Dianne Usher announced that both the number of home sales through the TorontoMLS system and the average selling price were up strongly in May compared to a year ago.

Total TorontoMLS sales for May 2014 amounted to 11,079 – a new high for the month of May. This result was up by 11.4 per cent compared to 9,946 sales reported in May 2013. The average selling price for these sales was $585,204, representing an 8.3 per cent year-over-year increase compared to the average price of $540,544 in May 2013.

“We are now at the peak of the spring market when we generally see the greatest number of sales and the highest average selling prices. Based on the May statistics, buyers have been more active this spring compared to last year. Despite strong price growth so far in 2014, many households remain comfortable with the monthly mortgage payments associated with the purchase of a home, as borrowing costs have remained at or near record lows over the past few months,” said Ms. Usher.

Average selling prices varied across the Greater Toronto Area, depending on geography and home type. A detached home in the City of Toronto sold, on average, for $943,055. In the surrounding GTA regions, the average detached price was $648,439. The average price for condominium apartments was $401,809 in the City of Toronto and $307,307 in the surrounding regions.

“The listings situation in the GTA did not improve this past May. With listings down and sales up compared to last year, competition between buyers increased. The result was price growth well above the rate of inflation, especially for singles, semis and townhomes,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

“It is also important to point out that even though the condo apartment market segment remains comparatively well-supplied, as new project completions have generally led to an uptick in listings, we have seen enough buyer interest to prompt strong condo price growth as well,” continued Mercer.

6月マーケットウォッチ略訳
■数字で見る2014年5月
総売上物件数：　11,079件　（前年同期に比べ約11.4％増加）
平均販売価格：　585,204ドル　（前年同期に比べ約8.3％増加）

■ジェイソン・マーサー氏（市場分析シニアマネージャー）のコメント
5月もトロント広域圏（ＧＴＡ）において売りに出される物件数の向上は見られませんでした。昨年に比べて売りに出される物件数減、売買契約数増の状況のためバイヤー間の競争は増すばかり。この結果、一戸建住宅、二戸建住宅やタウンハウスを中心に大いにインフレ率を上回った価格の伸びがみられました。

■Beautiful Day for Showing!

Harbourfront Area

Yes, it was such a beautiful day for showing! My client and I loved the view from a condo unit watching yachts floating on the lake and planes landing and taking off from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

母の日にコークタウン、ディスティレリーディストリクト、ハーバーフロントとフロントｘスパダイナ界隈のコンドミニアムの物件案内に行ってきました。ファーストホームバイヤーのクライアントと湖に浮かぶヨットやビリービショップ空港に発着する飛行機を眺めて癒された午後の一枚。

“Harbourfront Centre, the heart of Toronto's waterfront, has undergone an extensive site transformation.” They've “built an attractive underground parking facility, new public spaces and amenities for our central waterfront site. However, construction that will completely rebuild and revitalize Queens Quay both above and below ground continues”…….this area looks like below in near future:

現在再開発の工事が行われているハーバーフロント。いつ頃こんなにたくさん木々が植えられて道路も舗装されてきれいになるんでしょうか。楽しみですね！
