Although February was a short month…you wouldn’t be able to tell by condo sales in the Bloor-Yorkville area! For the second month in a row the number of sales outperformed the same time period a year before. In 2009 we had only 12 sales as opposed to the 20 in 2010, an increase of 66%!
2 bedroom units were once again the most popular layout resulting in 8 sales! With the exception of the 3 bedroom layout, every other type sold for at least full asking price (on average). Though the stats and figures are important, interpreting the market is key. Based on February’s numbers the point is simple…now is a perfect time to sell!

Today the Number One Bloor website was re-launched, and with it came our first look at the new tower! Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the 67 story luxury condo gives the Yonge and Bloor corner a new curvaceous feel. The first glimpse doesn’t really show much, but just enough to want more… What will the other 3 sides look like? How will the podium work in with the street? Hopefully in the coming weeks, these questions and more will be answered!

As the first month of 2010 flew by, so did sales for Condominiums in the Bloor Yorkville area… 31 days in the bag with strong results coming out of it!
January, which tends to be a slow month for the real estate calendar, performed quite well selling 15 units as opposed to the 9 in 2009 (up 66%). Not only were they selling, but they were also achieving full list price and in one occurrence, 16% over asking! The amount of time it took to sell a condo was reduced by almost 40% from 44 days on the market to only 27!
The most popular of all layouts was once again the 2 bedroom which resulted in the most amounts of solds! We predict another strong month in February and are hoping to see sales surpass the 12 from 2009! More listings in the mid-price range will be entering the market in the coming months, with Casa and Bloor Street Neighbourhood condo’s nearing completion.

It’s been quite the year for the Toronto condo market! As 2009 rolled in many believed it would be one of the worst years ever. Thankfully, Canadian banks and their stringent lending practices as well as mortgage rates at historic lows helped to curve the widespread results seen in the US. The GTA market as a whole picked up near the start of the second quarter and preformed much better than expected right until year end!
The Bloor Yorkville neighbourhood was no exception to the ups and downs faced throughout 2009. Condo sales in January and February started off very slow with only 9 and 12 units selling in their respective months. By March sales picked up stayed strong until July where the numbers took a small dip. The upward trend continued from September to November with the average sale price also moving upward. Low supply and high demand resulted in condos selling for 101% (on average) in October! Read the rest of this entry »
2009 was a rough time for the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). Just before year end, the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition at the ROM received yet another crystal bashing blow. Earlier in the year VirtualTourist.com placed the ROM 8th on its list for the world’s top 10 ugliest buildings. This time it was the Washington Post’s Philip Kennicott who declared it the worst piece of architecture erected in the last decade.
The addition to the museum has been a hot topic since its original inception. Prior to the bold new look, the museum stood on the Avenue and Bloor corner in a very box-like manner. The 1914 structure never really grabbed my attention as an actual museum (although the inside definitely was). From the street it was just another building…that was until philanthropist Michael Lee-Chin and others donated a portion of the 270 million dollar extension of the ROM. Designed by Daniel Libeskind and completed in 2007, the ROM went through an extensive makeover giving it a whole new facade. Read the rest of this entry »
