One of my favourite events is back this year, Doors Open Toronto. It’s a great opportunity to see some buildings that are normally closed to the public, including the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant and the Ontario Legislative Building. You’ll find more info and some other terrific events in the blog, below.
The real estate market continues to slowly recover, as we see both prices and the number of sales up slightly over March. Increased mortgage rates are just part of the story; with so few listings available, sellers don't want to list until they've found a place to move, and pent up demand is pushing prices up a little.
As always, I thank you for your past and future business...and any referrals of friends or family you may have are greatly appreciated!
