Market Update

Prices Rise in March
 
April 4, 2007 - Prices increased moderately in March, with the average up three per cent over 2006 to $365,285. "Prices are rising above the rate of inflation (currently about two per cent), but not so rapidly that first-time buyers will be pushed out of the market," said TREB President Dorothy Mason.
 
During last month TREB Members reported 8,518 sales of single-family dwellings across the GTA. "While down modestly (two per cent) over last year's total of 8,707, any result over 8,000 must be considered a strong performance," noted the President, "We expect a similarly robust showing from the remainder of the spring market."
 

A Breakdown Of The Market Is As Follows:
 

TREB's - 28 West Districts had:  3233 sales With an average of - $343,475
TREB's - 14 Central Districts had:  1521 sales With an average of - $471,804

How to weigh yourself

 

We must get the word out...

Women everywhere need to know this!


One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted out to me, "What setting should I use on the washing machine?” "It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?" He stepped out of the laundry room and yelled back, "The University of Toronto”. And they say blondes are dumb …

Tom and Martha were chatting in the living room after dinner. Tom said, "I’m going to make you the happiest woman in the world." Martha replied, "I'll miss you”.
