It's official - ground has been broken and construction on the Ontario Line will begin soon. If all goes according to plan, the line will run from Ontario Place to the Science Centre and be up and running in 2030, though I wouldn't place a bet on that. Judging by the artist renderings, the stations looks pretty cool!! Scroll down for the link.

You know what else we can look forward to?? In-person events... The Hot Docs festival is featured below.

The market slowed down a little in March - sales were down compared to March 2021 and down even slightly from this February. Between rising interest rates, changes to COVID restrictions, fluctuations in the stock market and the war in Ukraine, there is a lot of uncertainty resulting in some people sitting on the sidelines until things settle down. One thing did not change - prices are still up year over year with the average price of a semi in Toronto up by an even 20% and the average price of a property in Toronto is $1.3 million.

Lastly, check below for a new townhouse offering coming to MLS May 2nd; 3 storeys, 3 bedrooms and well over 2000sf... it's the rarest of midtown finds!!

As always, I thank you for your past and future business...and any referrals of friends or family you may have are greatly appreciated!

The Truth About Home Inspections
Do you remember the movie The Money Pit? It stars Tom Hanks and Shelley Long as a couple who buy a house they later find is falling apart. They are only allowed to view the home in candlelight, which in some situations may be flattering, but when buying a house, isn’t conducive to seeing its faults. It’s a very funny movie… but as a realtor, my first thought is, ‘why didn’t they get a home inspection?’.
