Welcome to my January email newsletter! 

Toronto’s real estate market in 2017 certainly saw it’s share of ups and downs - from record prices seen in the spring to the Fair Housing Act, the headlines didn’t stop. The average price for all properties in Toronto was 12.6% higher than in 2016, but that doesn’t tell the whole story - you’ll find full market news below. 

Scroll down for some great historic winter photos of Toronto as well as full information about the mortgage regulations which came into effect on January 1. I also have links to the city’s best chocolate (Valentine’s Day is around the corner) and a link to what’s happening at Ontario Place. 

If you are considering making a move or have any questions about the market, please get in touch.
