I wouldn't recommend this suite if I didn't believe it would be a great investment option for you.  There are only a handful of them left at Ventus 2 with this unique 2BD + 1WR design.  You get 620 sq ft starting at $258,000K.  As an Investor when selling this suite as a 2BR... then a 1BR + D, it sells for more value.   Also if you want to lease it... you can lease to two different people or a small family that needs 2BR and get more in rent for it.

Call me ASAP... if you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity.  See previous post for more details and downloadable price list and brochure.

1.  You get an Assignment clause at no fee.

2.  $5000 discount

3.  You can buy with 5% down providing you qualify for a mortgage as BMO will pay your 90, 180 day deposits.  (You only have to pay the interest (prime + 1%) on this loan.  TRIDEL may also agree to pay the interest on the BMO loan as long as you close on the deal.... that is only available to limited number of clients.  But the 5% investment option is great for first timer and your paying less than $100 a month on the interest on the 10% you've borrowed from BMO.  This interest is a tax deduction.  Need more clarifications call me.

4.  1 Parking included.

5.  Individually metered so person only pays for what they consume and keeping maintenance fees in check a bit better which are at: 46cents

6.  Occupancy Summer 2013

Office open till 11-7pm Monday-Thursday and 12-6pm Friday-Sunday.  If I can help you get a suite and save let me know.

Hi Everyone,

I thought knowing what is happening with your largest investment (your house) and the current real estate market might be helpful.  If you are not interested please do not read any further and delete it.  If you find this valuable please pass it on to your friends and family.

During the past 6 months we've seen a classic case of what happens when FEAR and misinformation causes people to make buying and selling decisions.  We started the year with a handful of homes for sale putting pressure on Buyers.  Then add the governments changes to the mortgage rules and the hysteria created by misinformed real estate agents and the media on the effects of HST and we have a recipe for madness.  We saw a buying frenzy with multiple offers and house prices rise 10-15% - peaking in May so Buyers would have enough time to close before July 1st (HST)

Average Prices:  Jan:$409K  Feb:$431K  Mar:$435K   Apr. $438K   May: $447K   June: $435K

So what is happening in the housing market now?  You see in a balanced market prices generally rise about 5% annually.  So now we see the market correcting itself.  Unfortunately homes today are more likely to sell for prices found in early February.  Why?

Well if you recall from my January/ February newsletter any decent home would sell within a few days and most within 2 weeks with multiple offers and above asking. 

Unfortunately home owners and most realtors are clueless to the market condition today since very few actually look at the statistics.  If the houses were priced right for the current market, most homes would sell within 2-4 weeks because hundreds of homes are selling each day. 

But the current statistics show they are taking much longer.  As of July 12th.

Morningside Heights has 27 Listings (twice as many as in January/ February)  The real kicker is that the "Average Days on the Market" today is 35 days for these 27 listings.  Which is only going to get bigger.

Markham East -  Average Days on the Market is: 45 days for 11 listings.

Markham Boxgrove - Average Days on the Market is: 39 days for 26 listings.

This points to a further downward trend on house prices in the GTA to offset some of the huge price increases that occurred in the earlier months. We should still have a positive price increase for the year, but we are giving back some of the high gains.

If you are currently listed, you might want to rethink your pricing structure.  Statistics show overpriced properties end up selling for less than market price than properties that were listed at market price from the beginning.  Top Realtors would tell you this information up front instead of promising you the moon and later under delivering.   Unfortunately many Realtors use this under-handed practice to get your listing because they know they can convince you to reduce your price later by blaming the market, etc. and since you will feel that you are stuck in a contract with them and can't get out.  That is not true.

So if you are considering buying or selling... or know someone who is, I'd like the opportunity to help out.  I give you an Unconditional Guarantee of Satisfaction.  Which means if my work as your Real Estate agent does not leave you feeling completely satisfied at the conclusion of our business, I will return to you all of my commission or whatever part you feel should be forfeited, even if you did not pay the commission as a Buyer.  My intention in making this offer is to assure you that I operate my business with your best interests at heart.

It's a good life.  Jas Jagpal.

Hi Everyone,

Last year I published MSH 1st business directory to raise money and help parents buy school uniforms at Brookside public school. Those who advertised were impressed with the quality of the printed directory.
(offset printed on high quality 100lbs gloss text stock with over all AQ coating)- download last years.

I’ve been asked to publish the 2nd Edition but before making a huge commitment I’d like to see how many business owners and professionals in Morningside Heights and Markham Boxgrove are interested.  If I get enough interest by Aug 15th, I’ll publish the 2nd Edition.  

You have to raise your hand and show me your commitment. I don’t have time to canvas this year.  So if the much lower printing cost and printing twice as many directories and mailing them out with Canada post don’t convince you then nothing will.  Having created the 1st directory I know its a huge time commitment on my part to put it all together so unless I hear from you I won't pursue this.

We would print 6000 copies and mail out 5400 homes via Canada Post.  In Morningside Heights, Markham East (North of Steeles, East of Markham, South of Denison) and Markham's Boxgrove. (9th line and South of 14th)

Tentative cost would be:  
Full Page - 8 x 5” at $175  
Half Page- 5 x 4” at $125 

on a 32 page directory... also if you know anyone else who might be interested do pass on this information... more importantly if you know anyone looking to buy, sell or invest... please let me know. 

FYI: TRIDEL - Top Builder is releasing Ventus 2 at Kennedy & 401 for VIP clients of preferred Realtors.  Starts July 11, 2010 - and units are priced from: $199,900K.  Let me know if you are thinking of investing in a Condo. In total there will be seven condos in this GREEN community with court yards, daycare, recreation centre,  pool, etc.  Tridel is building a masterpiece with all the high class amenities one would expect in Tridel's projects.

Thanks,

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he Packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the Park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his Suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old Lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips. She gratefully accepted it and Smiled at him.

Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root Beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon Eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but Before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old Woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.   When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later,  his mother was Surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that 
Made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could Respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever Seen!" 

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was Stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied! "I ate potato chips in the park with God."  However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I Expected."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.  People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!

Have lunch with God ....... Bring chips.

Sponsors like Coach Nikki & husband Dr. Bell,  Toronto City Councilor Raymond Cho, Toronto Skillz Soccer Club and the Volunteers & Coaches (white shirts) are the reason we can setup a low cost weakly soccer program in Morningside Heights for kids 5-13 years old.  Morningside Heights is located North East Corner of Scarborough.  This year we have around 70 kids participating and more than 10 volunteers to help.  Kids learn ball handling skills and focus is on dribbling, passing and small sided games.  Each kid has a ball to play with on the field since Jas Jagpal (the Program Director) believes that kids learn by doing and the more touches on the ball they get, the better they'll be.  Most importantly Jas believes all kids should have lots of FUN!

Brookside Soccer runs every Saturday mornings from 9:30 am to 11:30 am at Season's park after which the kids dash off to get their FREEZES from volunteer parents assistants.  This year, Jas has implemented rewarding kids with small prizes for accomplishing homework activities.  

Brookside Soccer is looking for Corporate and Parental sponsors to help with Fun Day activities (Trophies, Food, etc.) Sponsor Red-Jerseys to give the program a team feeling, and reward the volunteers for all their efforts.  If you can sponsor or know of an organization that does please contact Jas at: brooksidesoccer@gmail.com or at 647-272-6629

From the 29 Essential Tips FREE Report to selling your house fast here is Tip No. 13

Tip No. 13 Remove all traces of you from your home. 

When you toured other people’s homes, you may have felt some discomfort. This probably occurred because you saw, heard or otherwise sensed something that made you feel as if you were intruding into someone’s life.

The last thing you want others to feel in visiting your home is that same sense of discomfort. Avoid this by making your home as neutral as possible. Anything that interferes with a prospective buyers’ ability to see themselves living in your home must be eliminated. A few carefully chosen  knickknacks and family portraits may add warmth and character to the home, too many are a distraction. Avoid unique or trendy color schemes—paint and carpet in neutral shades of white or beige.

Declutter and remove as many personal items as possible and box them up and put them in storage.  By doing so you will attract more buyers and sell faster and often for more.

I know I should be talking Real Estate... but I'm human gotta complain about the horrible officiating I've seen the past couple weeks.  Referees  with their straight REDs and linesman's missing offsides and hand balls.

I'm a big Brazil and Argentina fan... but in todays 3-1 shellacking of Ivory coast... if the second beautiful goal by Luis Fabiano- which by the way involved two hand balls- was not allowed we would have had a great finish to the game.  Instead Ivory coast lost all confidence and retorted to fouls when they were down 2-0... many of the fouls I thought were incidental and referee should have let play continue.

What do you think?  Instant Replay for RED cards and suspect goals?

Maybe KAKA would not have been kicked off?

I think instant replay should be used... a couple minute under the hood, like in North American Football would do no harm and maybe stop players from trying to cheat and get booked for yellow cards!

GTA REALTORS® Report Monthly Resale Housing Figures

TORONTO, JUNE 3, 2010 ‐ Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 9,470 sales through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in May, representing a one per cent dip from May 2009. In comparison to previous years, this was the third highest May sales result on record.

"The pace of transactions slowed in May following record‐setting sales in February, March and April,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour. “Buyers who otherwise would have been purchasing a home in May moved more quickly this year, likely to get ahead of mortgage rate hikes.”

New listings were up 38 per cent annually to 18,940. The average price for May transactions was $446,593 – up 13 per cent compared to the average of $395,609 recorded in May 2009.

"The gap between listings and sales has widened, which means there is more choice for buyers," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “The annual rate of price growth will slow in the second half of 2010, from the current double digit pace into the single digits.”

Working with a financial advisor can increase your returns. A 2001 survey from Financial Research Corp. found that investors who use financial advisors tend to experience slightly better returns than those who do not rely on professional advice.

What hurts Investors?

Most investors listen to their heart, and not their head. Investors tend to make financial decisions based on their emotions and then rationalize intellectually. A financial advisor can help you avoid this pitfall.
Understanding your financial needs is an important step to setting your future financial goals.

First - Understand Your Financial Planning Needs

Our financial planning strategies  can help you understand which issues you should be focusing on.

Second - Understand Your Investor Profile

Consider your responses to a few key questions:

1. How many different financial goals do you have?
