About Toronto's Forest Hill

70 Shallmar Blvd SOLD

Sold in 6 days with a bully offer.

This house set a new high in the Upper Forest Hill Village for an unrenovated house.

It was also a very difficult deal because it was an assignment with a March 15th closing. Assigment offers should be done with the lawyer's involved, otherwise it is too hard to make the Buyer and Seller understand what needs to be done in the wording of an offer. The negotiation started out as an assignment but ended with a regular offer of and Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Always best to use a "real estate " lawyer for this kind of deal.

That's the question! Toronto major Rob Ford said his administration intends to sell Casa Loma, to be turned into luxurious condominiums or whatever else. Casa Loma generates significant loss for the treasurey, on the other hand, his intention spurred a furious debate among Toronto citizens. Also several realtors came up with commentarie:

Jamie Sarner asks: Casa Loma: Residence or Attraction?, while Toronto realtor Heather Hadden summarized several interesting commentaries about Casa Loma from the web.

What's your opinion - should be this 'beautiful from outside, boring from inside' taxpayers' money consuming property turned into luxurious MLS listing, or not?

(For those of you, who are not familiar with the beautiful city of Toronto: Casa Loma is a romantic castle-style residence, built by millionare Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, who later went bankrupt. The City of Toronto bought the house and made it into an important local landmark).
