Autumn Market Going Strong

Record number of resale housing transactions continues into September he Toronto Real Estate Board reports:

------------

September 20, 2007 -- With 3,236 sales so far this month, re-sale housing activity has increased 11 per cent as compared to the first half of September 2006, Toronto Real Estate Board President Maureen O’Neill announced today.

The past five consecutive months have been record-breakers and September is on track to follow suit. It is four per cent ahead of the 3,112 recorded during the first half of September 2005, which became the best September ever.

“Some economists who predicted a soft landing may have to revise their forecasts, said O’Neill. The real estate market continues to prove its strength month after month. There simply is no better investment.”

The average price for a home in the Greater Toronto Area currently stands at $364,364, an increase of nine per cent compared to first half of September 2006.

Neighbourhoods throughout the Greater Toronto Area reported strong sales in the first two weeks of this month.

“The market is showing strength in a wide range of neighbourhoods and housing types, said O’Neill. We’re seeing strong activity and stable price growth so there is a lot to be positive about.”

The Florian - The Residences of Upper Yorkville

The Florian - The Residences of Upper Yorkville will open its presentation centre in early September.

This latest Diamante Development Corporation building features just 95 residences, all with unparalled convenience and amenities.

Located at the intersections of Bay St, Davenport Rd, and McAlpine St, The Florian will be easily accessible by car.

The building will also have more unobstructed views with many units overlooking the large green spaces that surround it.

The Presentation Centre will include a model suite.
