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. Buyers seem to be a bit cautious and would rather wait. After much discussion it comes down to the agent and the Seller making the decision.

There was a big sigh of relief as more listings came to market across the 416. The downtown core saw freehold listings jump by 60 percent compared to the week before and.....

MARKET UPDATE FOR THE WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 10TH, 2017

HO HO HO here come the holidays! Santa Clause is coming to town. The annual parade comes to town on Sunday and has been a staple in Toronto for 113 years keeping the tradition alive. Does that mean we are winding down and getting ready for Christmas? It doesn’t seem that way with a swell of new listings hitting the market in the early part of November compared with this time last year. Could this be a sign that sellers are hustling to list before the new “stress test” rules surrounding mortgages come into effect on January 1st.

Last week the freehold market saw 222 new listings in the central core hit the market up 35% from the week before with the east end doubling their new listings from 38 to
