Five housing hot spots in Toronto
Talk to real-estate agents, and most express disbelief at how the Toronto market keeps defying the doomsayers month after month.
What's fuelling it? Those bargain-basement mortgage rates keep affordability in line, even as prices have risen, says Toronto Real Estate Board analyst Jason Mercer. Factor in the number of potential buyers per house, and you've got a recipe for price hikes.
Mercer says recent sales totals projected annually could make 2012 the second-best year on record (after 2007), even as listings have lagged.

Hume: Toronto seeks a new chief planner; what it needs is a visionary
How curious that a city such as Toronto, one growing so fast its skyline changes weekly, would have no chief planner.
Since March, when the last man to hold that position, Gary Wright, retired, Toronto has made do with an acting chief planner, Gregg Lintern, a respected department veteran who has worked downtown and in Etobicoke. But a search is underway, and the city is casting as wide a net as possible.
"We're looking across North America," explains deputy city manager, John Livey. "We've had a good response. It's a great job." That's all excellent, of course, but we've gone through this before, had our hopes raised only to be dashed.

Market News
Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 9,690 sales through the TorontoMLS System in March 2012. This result was up by almost eight per cent in comparison to the 8,986 deals reported during the same period in 2011.
"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," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Richard Silver.
"The challenge has been a lack of inventory. Many listings have attracted multiple interested buyers. Strong competition has led to annual rates of price growth well above the long-term average." The average selling price in the GTA was $501,614 in March - up by 10 per cent in comparison to March 2011.
