Prospective buyers of the new X2 condo development, which will be built at Jarvis and Charles Streets, argued and shouted with each other Wednesday after confusion erupted over who would be allowed to purchase first.
The builder, Great Gulf Homes, is holding the sales event at the Intercontinental Hotel on Bloor Street.
According to reports, some agents had been lining up on the south side of Bloor for more than a week to make sure they would be first to buy.

Probably it will, but the market will get over it very rapidly. I suspect the impact will be more through alarmist anticipation. Compromises will be made, and the HST concept tax will be imposed. Frankly, despite the rhetoric, we all know that this will eventually happen.

It drives me nuts (well, more nuts) when economists and pundits try to treat and analyze the housing market as if it were the stock market.
Of course, that’s how they make their living -- not just by making comments on events, but by creating ‘events’ on which to comment.

I am often asked: “What are the best buildings to buy in, and not to buy in?” The first thought that runs through my mind (as a still-functional realtor) is that any such answer is bound to burn some unnecessary bridges and unleash a wave of disagreement e-mails. Life’s too short.

Luxury home sales in Toronto were up slightly between January and September 2009, compared to the same period last year, according to a new report. The Bridle Path, Hogg's Hollow, and York Mills areas all led in terms of both sales and price appreciation.
