I know it's hard to fathom but, yes, we’re already in August! Even though the summer months seem to have flown by, there is still plenty of time left to enjoy the warm weather and all the exciting events happening in the city.

With so many cultural festivals this month, it’s hard to pick the best one. For a full list, click here. If you’re looking for an event with tons of tasty cuisine, The Toronto Korean Fest is definitely a top pick. And, after indulging in those savoury delights, be sure to follow it up with a sweet treat at one of city’s top spots to get a delicious cinnamon bun.

On the real estate front, there was some promising news from the Bank of Canada in July - the key interest rate dropped by .25%, bringing the prime rate to 4.5%. This may not significantly impact the slower August market, but coupled with a potential rate drop in September, it could fuel the fall market in a very positive way.

As always, I thank you for your past and future business...and any referrals of friends or family you may have are greatly appreciated!
