Welcome to our newsletter for September 2011!
Nuit Blanche returns on October 1st, and the stretch of Queen West from Niagara to Dufferin will be busy. Below you'll find more information about Zone C and what you can expect to see.
In other city news, you can't avoid hearing about the deficit and proposed cuts. It's unlikely that libraries and child-care will be touched this time around, but nothing is for sure.
Sales in the first half of September were up by 25% over the first half of September 2010, with prices up an average of 11%.
Have a great fall!

Toronto Mayor Ford to retreat from controversial cuts
Library closings will not be part of Rob Ford's money-saving plans and no child will lose a daycare subsidy, says a member of his inner circle, the first sign that Toronto's mayor is stepping back from the most controversial cost-cutting proposals as he begins to steer his austerity agenda through city council.
The city's powerful executive committee, chaired by the mayor and filled with his supporters, will begin meeting Monday morning for what is expected to be an around-the-clock session, with about 300 members of the public signed up to talk. It will consider a long list of penny-pinching measures - everything from ending a small fund that co-ordinates Christmas gifts for needy children, to closing museums and reducing snow clearing and grass cutting.

To make this commitment, households must be confident in their economic prospects," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Richard Silver. "The fact that sales continued to grow through the first half of September suggests that GTA households remain confident that the economy will remain buoyant." The average selling price in the first half of September was $454,194 - an increase of 11 per cent compared to the same period in September 2010. |
