2012 will continue to be steady with new home condo sales in the downtown core leading the charge..
2012 FACTORS TO CONSIDER: (more…)

Canadian Condo Rebatesis a company that has assisted in capturing over $2,000,000 in rebates in 2011. My clients and myself have received nearly $500,000 in rebates through Mario from these Condo Rebates. I asked my lawyer to help me out and I even spoke to my accountant about this but they had no idea. I don’t always recommend other services but was forced to learn more about this program as my clients were owed so much money. I can personally vouch for this site and for Mario both as a direct client and as a friend whom I have recommended to all of my clients and friends who have bought property. (more…)

Many writers, economists and banking lobbyists will take raw statistics and skew different opinions based on what I fear may be self motivating and biased opinions.

High consumer debt? : the average personal debt ratio is now 156 per cent in Canada. At an interest rate of 3 or even 5 per cent, the amount needed to service the debt is manageable. Remember most people do not pay off their mortgages in one year. Economists mislead this information.

Mortgage rates at historic lows: Many fixed term rates at 3% and below.

Canada’s appeal:  a stable banking and political environment, steady real estate market, natural resources and few social tensions. That makes us a safe haven in a volatile world.

Our immigrant draw: because of these reasons and so much more, immigration levels are at a record high.

Mortgage defaults: According to CMHC, over 99 per cent of Canadians pay their mortgages on time.

Income-to-price ratio:  median incomes of Canadians is 3.5 times against the median cost of homes , acceptable levels.

Presidential election year:   politicians will do whatever is necessary to prevent a negative economy.  The U.S. is already showing signs of economic recovery.  Canada will enjoy some of this confidence.

This week I will be listing a property at the Festival Towers because the owner was so impressed with our ability to help him recover over $60,000 of rebates that he over paid and even though his Lawyer charged him nearly $10,000 to represent him and he has one of the best Accountants, they did not help him.  Get your rebates back from the government, you may be applicable for gst home-buyers / the transfer tax credit / taxes charged in error / city tax rebates etc.  Condo Rebates  offer a professional consultation with no fees up front. They merely retain 15% of the uncollected amounts. Alternatively you can strongly suggest that your lawyer or accountant do if for you, however, as they may not be updated with the latest tools and knowledge you run the risk of not getting back all of your rebates. If you have the time try to do it yourself, you must however be willing to follow up and don’t be discouraged if you must file time and time again before you get it right. These rebates are available but not user friendly and come with expiration dates. Try yourself or ask a professional, don’t procrastinate!

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney,”One of the biggest changes will be to invite businesses to go overseas, recruit the people who they think will work well in their companies, give them  job offers, and then we’ll bring them in (to Canada) on a super-fast basis.” “In 2012, we will be reforming our federal points system, called our Skilled Worker Program”

These changes being presented will increase further our immigration numbers to Toronto thereby reducing the availability of record low vacancy,  increasing the rental rates and the demand for new housing.

Get ready for the ride of your life.  While Top Executive Officers (who earn most of their annual millions based on stock market performance), continue to write negative reviews on housing values for Real Estate across the country, I will continue to bring forth articles, facts and figures, supporting not only economic growth and prosperity but also how it effects the increase of Real Estate Value.

So the world is not coming to an end after all. Seems like the naysayers have gone to Cuba for early March break. Now everybody left with normal paying jobs are letting the cat out of the bag and jumping on my little red wagon!
