    pen on paper Dear Dennis,

    Getting this issue out now since many will be dedicating some or all of this weekend to income taxes in a last ditch effort to avoid them entirely. Good luck with that.

    What's Hot Spring Scoreboard
    What's Hot - What's Not

    Where are the fastest (and slowest) growing areas in Toronto (GTA) for Homes and Condos?

    My Spring Scoreboard shows the growth from March/05 to March/06 by areas of the GTA. Find out how much your home appreciated in value.

    One thing for sure, averages do not mean anything when you look at a metropolis like the GTA. The average of 7% applies to few specific areas. The range is from minus 23% to plus 159%!

    See the rest ....

    Man Inspecting Seller Tips
    Revealing Defects - How Much Is Enough?

    When your house is on the market, you brag about its best features. When you accept an offer, however, you'll need to disclose all of its flaws.

    Some are obvious, like water damage or termites. But it's your obligation to come clean about everthing -- even the ones that might just be a figment of your imagination.

    Grow-ops Buyer Tips - Grow-ops House List
    Marijuana Grow-ops Houses Busted in Scarborough (42 Division) in 2005

    About 125 Grow-ops Houses were busted in Scarborough last year according to a recent report from 42 Police Division community bulletin.

    I have created an Alphabetic List with map and TREB division references for my readers' and buyer clients' convenience. I hope you are not near one of these homes, or worse, unknowingly just purchased one. Neighbourhood values have been known to drop by 10% or more near these criminal activities and you really don't want the headaches of buying one.

    For the Toronto Star article on this topic, click on the image above.

    For my Enhanced List, see the link below ...

    P.S. Marajuana is also spelled as Marahuana - both are correct.

    Condo Living - King's Landing Condo Living
    Toronto Business & Entertainment Area - Lifestyle & Costs

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like and what it would cost to live in a luxury condo in downtown Toronto - perhaps in the exciting business & entertainment area - close to Roy Thompson Hall, Wayne Gretsky's bar, The Royal Alex and so much more.

    My website (see link below) now features the best available information to help people find the kind of condo lifestyle they would like in a price range they can afford.

    My Toronto Condo Guide also features condo apartments along the Waterfront,i.e.;Queens Quay. Soon, I will be completing another condo review - The St Lawrence Market Area

    Pick Your School School Report - Central Toronto
    Reports Available for Clients - Central Toronto

    Want to know where the best elementary and secondary schools are located and how they are connected? I have now completed all of Central Toronto. This is added to the Scarborough, York And Durham Region reports.

    My Select Schools service is very unique and very valuable for parents seeking a place to live near the best combination of schools - good elementary school combined with a good secondary school - this is the rare and hard to locate "sweet spot" . I know where they are located and share this with my clients. Others may purchase for $150 per Area.

    Sweet Spots occur in about 1 out of 8 neighbourhoods - some areas have many, some only one and many have none at all.

    Reports are 20-30 pages but for a one page example to get the idea see the example linked below.
