Encore at Equinox



What you've always wanted, that super convenient condo, in the heart of Scarbough. Don't deny it, you know it's your dream, and Monarch will make your dream come true at the Encore at Equinox. Don't wake up, the dream has not ended yet, it includes, easy transportation via Scarborough LRT into the the downtown core (who needs this, when you live in Scarborough?) and have the Scarborough Town Centre outside your front door. (this must be a super fantasy). Also nearby, highways, lots of lanes of super-highway 401 again right outside your front door. The charms of Scarborough dont, end there, you also nearby the nearby Famous Players Coliseum, and the Scarbough Civic Centre and Park.

Included in your fantasy Scarborough Condo are units from 1 Bedroom, to 1 bedroom and den, to 2 bedroom, to 2 bedroom plus solarium. Don't you know, it's designed for every lifestyle, from singles to couples and yes even families.


Global Financial Markets (Factor: Negative)

The global financial markets seems to be on the rebound, from late last year and continuing into the new year, the stock markets of the key global players has been improving in performance. So why is this a negative for Toronto and our economy in general? Well, if you remember the Financial Crisis, after the initial shock of the collapse Toronto actually did quite well, the cause of this was that International Money was looking for a safe place to go and hide, and as far as investors there is no better place to stash your money than Toronto, as it's safe, it's global and has a solid reputation for financial stability. A global Financial rebound is bad for Toronto, as cash now has other places to go to get a good return. The easy ride will be over for us here.


Getting a Mortgage and Mortgage Insurance through Empire Life for financing a loan to purchase at FIVE Condos is actually a relatively easy process, and new rules from the federal government has required that company include new regulations, which have made the home loan and mortgage process a bit more difficult. Those changes at Empire Life include shortening the amortization period for which the loan can be held by the consumer, and the degree to which the property is financed by the mortgage. They have also increased deposit requirements to lift the loan insurance amount. Mortgage insurance from Empire Life is actually one of the major financing costs on home loans.

Investment Trusts have no taken to looking to purchase rental properties and acquiring mortgages through financing auctions by the banks looking to shore up their balances sheets in light of stricter government regulation. These regulations have actually made holding residential mortgages by the large financial institutions harder to hold. Currently investors are looking to increase their position in rental properties in Toronto, at the same time the federal government in co-operation with the financial institutions are making getting and qualifying for loans and mortgages more difficult

Toronto Condo Market Report – February 26, 2014

Toronto Condo Prices continue to trend upwards, as sales also move up with general improvement not only in the Toronto economy, but the nation as a whole. Condo sale prices have not increased to the same degree as detached family housing, due to new supply coming onstream. However fears of a condo bubble, have not proved accurate, as trends move to the upside. Average Home prices are still up in Toronto, and look like they will continue to rise for the remainder of 2014. Year over year, detached housing prices increased by over 14%. Just amazing.

What to Expect for Home and Condo Prices in 2015 in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area

The latest reports on the Toronto Real Estate market predict that the condo prices if left unsupported will fall, due to oversupply. However, this prediction has been the case for over 10 years now, and nothing has come to pass with regard to any major price drop even with predictions of a correction coming from the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions.

Toronto is on the verge of becoming a high end retailing mecca, and this will force up home prices as well as condo prices in the central core. Word that big US retailers like Saks, Nordstorms and Target are moving into the Canadian Space, and primarily within the downtown Toronto core is likely to increase the desirability of those areas with the best access to high end shopping experiences.

New Trends in Condo Buying Emerging in the Toronto Area

A few new trends to watch out for in the Toronto area when it comes to buying homes as well as buying condos. When it comes to buying homes, the latest tactic is to put a property which had previously been listed on the MLS system, on a bidding site, or list through an auction house to get buyers, sending the price of single detached homes soaring. As for condos the latest buying technique is the new trend with regards to micro housing, or micro condo living. And we’re seeing now, specifically designed condos to meet that purpose.
