As you may recall, I had predicted that the market would return to normal in the fall, but it actually happened last month. Sales were just 1.4% lower than June of 2019, with the average price up by 11.9% year over year. A link to Toronto real estate market stats is below.
July is proving to be another active month...I have two new listings and a third on the way, scroll down to view a modern loft-style, two bedroom suite in River City II as well as a co-ownership opportunity in Forest Hill. Curious about co-ownership?

Of course, it's not quite the summer we were expecting BUT on the bright side, beaches and patios are open which makes it feel a little closer to normal. Thanks to social distancing initiatives, drive-in movies are making a comeback - you'll find more on this below as well as some other virtual events happening.
As always, I thank you for your past and future business...and any referrals of friends or family you may have are greatly appreciated!

60 fantastic Toronto delivery and takeout food options
|
|
Seemingly overnight, takeout and delivery in Toronto went from a luxury to a lifeline. Local restaurants have reopened closed doors, shuffled menus and created to-go programs where there previously were none. And while convenience is an understandably big draw, if you want your cash to go further toward helping a local business, consider ordering from them directly.
