The Garth Turner Effect

Garth Turner posted a link to TrueCondos.com from his very popular blog: Greater Fool. Garth is probably Canada’s best known ‘Bear’ when it comes to real estate and has been blogging and writing books about the impending doom of the Canadian real estate market for a couple years now. Garth calls me a ‘Hypester’ which is fairly flattering compared to what he calls most Realtors.

For those of you with Bear-like tendencies or who simply would like a different perspective on real estate in Canada, check out Garth’s blog. He has a strong and loyal following as you can see from the graphic above and the amount of traffic generated from Garth’s link to this site.

Now That’s What I Call A Happy Client

Recently I listed for sale a house on Crawford Street, near Trinity Bellwoods park. The property was previously listed for sale with another Realtor for a number of months and had no offers. I took over the listing and after devising a marketing plan for the property, the property sold in a week with multiple offers and for approximately $50K over the asking price.

My clients were so elated with the results they put together a video.

If you’d like to hire me to sell your property in Toronto, contact me today. (Post-sale video production not required!)

Do you Believe in the Insanity of the Toronto Real Estate Market?

I had been hearing the stories for years. Guy buys a house in Cabbagetown for a song, a few years later it’s worth twice as much as he paid for it. A couple buys a condo on the west side in the pre-construction phase, then sell it upon completion for a ridiculous profit without ever having set foot in the unit.

The Toronto real estate market has been churning out these kinds of stories for about a decade now. Thousands of ordinary people have gotten rich from doing not much more than paying their mortgage every month. When will this wave of unprecedented growth in the market end? What is it going to take to stop the insanity?
