Property Moguls Wanted in Realopolis

Hey! Attention online gamers...who's ready to make some money? Fake money that is ....

On March 1st, CENTURY 21 Millennium agents went virtual in the launch of a free online game, Property Mogul. Its a fun, online game designed to educate Canadians about real estate investment.

Through location-matching technology, each player is assigned a CENTURY 21 agent avatar, which is a virtual representation of an existing, real life agent from a local CENTURY 21 office. The agent avatar will accompany players through their journey of becoming a Property Mogul.

Property Mogul exists in a fictional city, Realopolis, which is made up of unique neighbourhoods, each with its own characteristics including landscape, properties and services. Players start from small beginnings with one property and $1million of virtual cash. Through buying, selling and property management of both residential and commercial properties, players will gain awards throughout the game towards Mogul status.

Players can also compete with one another to gain leaderboard rankings and share their achievements through various social media channels. To play Property Mogul for free, visit www.propertymogul.ca.

The unique game, launched by CENTURY 21 Canada was developed to mirror many of the situations of the real world. From deciding which mortgage to go with, or which contractors to use, to figuring out whether or not to report a suspicious neighbor - the events reflect possible situations that players may experience in their daily lives.

Property Mogul was jointly developed by CENTURY 21 Canada and Engaging Communications.

See you on Realopolis, let's buy & sell some properties together!

TORONTO REAL ESTATE BOARD (TREB) MARKET WATCH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 2011

Second-Best Year on Record for Sales

Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,718 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in December 2011. The December result capped off the second-best year on record under the current Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) boundaries. Total sales for 2011 amounted to 89,347 – up four per cent in comparison to 2010.

“Low borrowing costs kept Buyers confident in their ability to comfortably cover their mortgage payments along with other major housing costs,” said TREB President Richard Silver. “If Buyers had not been constrained by a shortage of listings over the past 12 months, we would have been flirting with a new sales record in the Greater Toronto Area,” added Silver.

The average selling price in December was $451,436 – up four per cent compared to December 2010. For all of 2011, the average selling price was $465,412, an increase of eight per cent in comparison to the average of $431,276 in 2010.

“Months of inventory remained below the pre-recession norm in 2011. Very tight market conditions meant substantial competition between Buyers and strong upward pressure on selling prices,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

“TREB’s baseline forecast for 2012 is for an average price of $485,000, representing a more moderate four per cent annual rate of price growth. This baseline view is subject to a heightened degree of risk given the uncertain global economic outlook,” continued Mercer.

For Sale By Owner - FSBO a NO GO

The founder of a website preeching the concept of selling your home without the help of a real estate agent -- failed at selling his own home.

The creator of ForSaleByOwner.com, Colby Sambrotto, failed to do what he preeched. After 6 months of unsuccessfully trying to sell his own 2 bedroom New York condo, he eventually hired a real estate agent for 6% commission and the property was eventually sold for $2.15 million.

Luckily he was smart enough to realize that he coudn't do it himself and needed the assistance of a professional -- someone who understands the market and the constant price adjustments.

Priceless.... click here to read the article.
