People the sky is not falling. Times are tougher, yes. But this "sky is falling" narrative makes for good headlines but rarely tells the whole story.

Welcome to another episode of the Real Estate Podcast with me, Nico James-Bock, a Broker and CondoWiz™ at Royal LePage Signature Realty in Toronto.

Looking forward I believe there are a few things we need to remember. We are lucky to live in a place that is one of the most sought after in the world. Over 1 million people came to our country last year and we anticipate another record this year. Everyone needs a home. While there is temporary uncertainty due to today’s rate environment, we know the need for housing has not changed. 

In the months and years to come there will be great opportunity in our real estate market as we benefit from being the fastest growing G7 country in the world. Everyone needs a home and that will result in values rising over time. Let’s be sure we see today’s market for what it is, a market of opportunity. 

The next BOC interest rate announcements:

Wed October 25th

Wed December 6th

Here are you key takeaways:

1. The higher interest rate environment will be here for a while. 2/3 of people own their own home. That is going to continue.  People will find a way onto home ownership.
2. The demand for housing is just going to continue. There is no way we are going to build the homes we need. What does that mean. Prices are going to continue to rise. We’ll be back to double digit home appreciation. Desirable properties that show well and are priced well are seeing bidding wars.  Almost 75% of neighbourhoods however, are in underbidding territory.
3. People are mobile. Particularly young buyers are going to be bouncing around. A network of trusted partners and advisors nationwide. 
4. Opportunities exist for savvy buyers and sellers who are prepared and guided by agents with local expertise and experience. The time to capitalize on these opportunities is now!

That’s it for today’s episode. I hope you are able to take from it those bits of factual information that are relevant to your situation.

Welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast with Nico James-Bock, a Broker with Royal LePage Signature Realty in Downtown Toronto.  

The City of Toronto's Vacant Home Tax came into effect on Jan 01 2023.  All Toronto residential property owners must submit a declaration of their property’s 2022 occupancy status by February 2nd 2023. 

Keep in mind that a property is considered vacant by the City of Toronto if it was NOT used as the principal residence by the owner(s) or any permitted occupant(s), or was unoccupied for a total of six months or more during the previous calendar year.

Home renovations can be so bittersweet. The possibilities to customize your space are endless, but so is the stress, the delays and the supply chain issues. So how can you limit the headache, and actually enjoy the process of creating the perfect home for you and your family?

This episode of Real Estate Unplugged features a chat with my friend Tommy Smythe, one of Canada’s most talented interior designers and beloved TV personalities. He’s been perfecting and personalizing houses for over 20 years, and is a partner at TOM, a creative design firm in Toronto. He gives you tips you can use to make your home renovation as painless as possible, while staying true to your taste and bringing your vision of home to life.

A neighbourhood is like a garden. As it blossoms and grows, you have to tend to it. Without intentional efforts to encourage arts and culture, displacement and gentrification can take over. So how exactly do spaces in Toronto foster that culture and creativity? How are old buildings reimagined? How are communities united?

Today’s guest is social entrepreneur and thought leader Tim Jones. Jones has been tending to Toronto’s “garden” since he moved to the city in his 20s. As CEO of Artscape from 1998 to 2021 and now a principal of Creative Placemaking Inc, Tim is helping communities engage arts and culture as a catalyst for change and renewal. He gives us a glance of the process behind revitalization projects like the Historic Distillery District and Regent Park, and helps us understand the impact and potential of arts and culture.

How to sell without a real estate agent? Can you sell real estate without a real estate agent?

So we decided to put together this guide on how to sell without an agent. DISCLAIMER this does come with risk.

So if this is something that will keep you up at night we do not recommend this option. But if you're a risk averse individual watch this guide and do some research and see if this is the option for you!
