We all know and love Facebook and Toronto is known for being one of the cities where citizens were quick to adopt this network. For some time, we were even dubbed “the FB Capital of Canada”. And no wonder: throwing parties, staying in touch with relatives and old friends, or sharing pictures, videos, and ideas has never been easier and more convenient.

THE ACTION:

New listings are a rarity in New Toronto these days, so when this updated, two-storey house near Humber College hit the market it drew out 40 groups each day – not including the traffic at the open houses. A handful of house hunters liked enough of what they saw to make an offer.

Greater Toronto REALTORS® results for March 2012 show that home sales through the Toronto MLS Listings kept rising and were 8 per cent higher than a year before. The latest market update from the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) reported 9,690 real estate transactions last month compared to the 8,986 recorded in March 2011.

Richard Silver, TREB president, commented on these recent trends in a press release “The GTA resale market has not suffered from a lack of willing buyers this year. Buyers have been spurred on by the positive affordability picture brought about by low mortgage rates.“

The Action:

In the residential pocket northeast of High Park, large properties with three to five bedrooms are more of the norm, so this two-storey Tudor with just two bedrooms suited a smaller pool of shoppers.

However, it still received a good number of showings and sold in a bidding war between a few buyers.
