Does your home have what they’re looking for? Do you know what they’re looking for?

To a homebuyer it’s about more than just buying a house. It's about buying a Home. It’s about a Lifestyle.

Each category of the above homebuyers is looking for a better lifestyle – does your home represent that Lifestyle? There are many things you can do to “stage” your home, but each classification of Buyer is looking for distinct tangible and intangible qualities in your home.

TORONTO REAL ESTATE BOARD (TREB) MARKET WATCH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2009

TREB Reports Strong Growth in October MLS Transactions

In October 2009, Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 8,476 sales, up 64 per cent from October 2008. The average price for October transactions was $423,559 - up by 20 per cent compared to the same month last year.

"Strong sales growth has occurred across many property classes - from price ranges that would attract first-time buyers to luxury properties selling for over one million dollars," said TREB President Tom Lebour. "The highest rate of sales growth in October was experienced for properties selling for over $750,000 dollars. In contrast, luxury home sales declined at an above-average rate last year."

Year-to-date sales, at 74,721, were up nine per cent compared to the first ten months of 2008. Average price, at $392,264 was up by almost three per cent.

"After a short dip in the winter, the average home price in the GTA has rebounded because sales have been high relative to listings," according to Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "Watch for listings to rebound in 2010 as home owners react to the strong sales and price growth experienced in the latter half of this year."

Median Price
In October, the median price was $357,000, from the $312,000 recorded during October of 2008.

I received an email with the funniest photos of Dogs dressed in their best Halloween costumes.

The email was entitled "Why Dogs Hate Halloween".


Being a new dog owner – we have a German Sheppard puppy – I can really appreciate the love people have for their dogs. I joked with my kids that I would dress “Duke” up as a poodle....but these photos take the cake!

.... Enjoy!!

Well, you’ve seen her in movies, such as Ghost, Toy Story 3; and TV shows such as Star Trek: The Next Generation and The View. Can you guess who Caryn Johnson is?

You know her better as Whoopi Goldberg.

It’s here! Google Street View is now available in certain areas of Canada. Street View allows you to view a map and zoom, rotate, and drill down to the street level and view the photos as though you were virtually standing on the street.

I’ve attached a YOUTUBE video that will walk you through the process.

With this functionality, you can view details of your neighbourhood (or your dream neighbourhood!) and check out all the nearby amenities (parks, schools, shopping, etc)

There are so many uses for this technology and it will be interesting to see how this impacts the home buying/selling process.
