Greater Toronto REALTORS® report Mid-April Resale Market Figures
Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,601 sales through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) during the first two weeks of April. This represented a 25 per cent increase compared to the 3,681 sales recorded during the same period in 2009. New listings increased by 48 per cent annually to 9,512. “The fact that annual growth in new listings outstripped growth in sales suggests that the GTA existing home market is becoming better supplied,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour. "Home owners are reacting to strong sales and price growth by listing their homes in greater numbers. They are confident they will receive offers in line with their asking price." The average price for April mid-month transactions was $430,271 – up 12 per cent compared to the average of $383,361 recorded during the first 14 days of April 2009. "The average annual rate of price increase has declined and we are shortly going to see a return to sustainable single-digit rates of growth," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "As home buyers experience more choice in the marketplace, there will be less upward pressure on the average selling price in the GTA.” Jas Jagpal, Remax Dynasty Realty Inc

HST (TAX)- What You Need to Know Now...if your selling.
So What is HST? – 13% Tax (Harmonizing of GST (5%) and PST (8%) – hence HST When does it take affect? – July 1st, 2010 HST will apply on all current services you pay GST on. So you will pay on Realtor commissions, Lawyer fees, Inspections, Maintenance, Moving Costs, etc. Transitional Rules: 1. If you list May 1st and close July 5th. As long as 90% of the services related to your Real Estate transaction (open houses, getting mortgages, inspections, title search, etc.) occured prior to July 1st… then you won’t have to pay HST just the GST. 2. If you list May 1st and close Aug 1st. Since the 90% rule won’t apply you will now pay on a weighted scale. 2 months (2/3) GST and 1 month (1/3) of HST on all your closing cost (commission, lawyer fees, etc.). All costs incurred prior to July 1st would only have incurred GST. Movers would have charged entire HST. How much will you be paying extra? Lets calculate using an average GTA price of $400,000 for a single family house. Seller would pay: So Sellers are looking at around $2000 added to closing costs. Nothing too significant that will cause a dent in the Toronto market. The Toronto Land Transfer Tax was significantly more expensive and had no affect. I think surrounding municipalities will probably add their own form on Land Transfer Tax in the upcoming 3-5 years. In my next post I will talk about how GST affects Buyers.

I just finished writing the blog and computer errored… should have known better to write it straight in the blog program without saving it. Anyways… having vented, let me tell you how HST will affect Sellers of Real Estate and in another post I’ll mention the affects on Buyers.
1. Commission 3.5% – 5% = $1120 to $1600 more
2. Lawyer ($1000 – $2000) = $80- $160 more
3. Moving ($1000-$2000)= $80 – $160 more
4. Pre-inspection ($300-$500) = up to $40 more
Encore Condos- Invest at Scarborough Town Centre- Take advantage of VIP discounts
Investors and home owners are contacting me to find out the price range and what units are still left. So I thought I'd just update everyone at the same time. According to Monarchs Sales Reps about 40% of the units are already sold... probably higher as that conversation took place on the weekend while buying an investor unit.
Today's conversation:
1. Some studio units and about 10-1BR units are held for the public when it is opened up to the public. Most 1BR and Studios are sold.
2. 1Br + Den units - there is only 1 South unit and a few West units left. North and East there are plenty still to sell. The reason being they are facing the EQ1 Condo building and Centro Condos currently under construction.
3. 2BR + 2WR - SW facing - last time I heard they were sold out. I've bought a couple and sold a few myself. If you are seriously interested I can sell one of my units to you. Must be purchased by April 13th.
4. 2BR + Solarium - SE facing- there are plenty units left.
In a nutshell if you are thinking of investing at Scarborough Town Centre then you need to act fast. The VIP sale discounts have been extended... if you want to take advantage of them contact me ASAP... plus get a complete price list, unit layouts and worksheet to complete to get access to the discounts.
Prices: Studio – from $139K, 1 Bedroom – from $190K, 1 Bedroom + Den/ Solarium – from $245K, 2 Bedroom – from $327K, 2 Bedroom + Solarium – from $354K

Rising Loonie... near Par again.
The loonie, on the other hand, has been supported by the relative strength of the Canadian economy and confidence that Canada has not taken on more debt than it can handle, worries that persist for the United States and many European nations. At mid-morning, the currency was up 0.46 of a cent to 99.63 cents US. Last week it rose 1.75 cents US on strong economic data and surging commodity prices. Economists don't expect the loonie to rise quickly to the heights it reached around US$1.10 back in November 2007, but rather feel it will waver around parity for a while. A high loonie is a boon to cross-border shoppers but a curse for many manufacturers and exporters as the price for their goods becomes less attractive to international buyers, especially in the U.S., Canada's biggest market. Jas's Note: This isn't good news for our manufacturers and tourism industry who depend on a low dollar to sell exports and be affordable to tourists. How will this play out for the Housing market? As long as we don't see significant job losses... we'll be just fine. After all you can't get a mortgage unless your employed. Keep an eye out on employment figures in the next few months.
