Rising Gas Prices = New Location

-
So the weekend has passed and by now we're all at work still lamenting over the fact that we had to pay a whopping $141 cents on average per litre in and around the GTA.

In Mississauga the price soared up to $141.9 cents causing even more empty wallets. This jump in prices is said to be caused from the long distance drives we'll be taking to our cottages in a couple weeks, as well as uneasiness in Iraq. With the Canada day long weekend up ahead you would have to think that the worst may be yet to come.

Traditionally on the long weekend gas prices would soar and would not come back down until the following Monday or Tuesday of the week. With these prices always on the rise, many are slowly beginning to abandon their vehicles. High insurance costs coupled with high prices at the pumps leaves that new car smell sitting in your driveway.

Looking forward now, its no wonder condo's are selling the way they are. Buying a home on the outskirts of Toronto or Mississauga means a long drive and more costs. When your thinking house versus condo think about this;
  • Walking distance from work
  • Easy access to local transit 
  • Great Locations
All condo's are typically centered minutes from the downtown core of any city you may choose with plenty of local transit accessibility and close to many businesses. So before making your choice just think about the number 152, because that price in Vancouver may be coming our way.

The Toronto Condo Market is only getting Stronger!

This year is dubbed "the year of the condo" by real estate agents across Canada, because of the strong performance in the country's major housing markets. The condo phenomenon is something that is happening all over North America. The performance of the GTA's top-tier condominium market eclipsed that of other major Canadian markets in both sales volume and percentage gains in 2017. Sales of $1-million-plus condominiums were up 59 per cent year-over-year within the region, with luxury sales over $4 million up 91 per cent over the previous year. In the City of Toronto, condo sales volumes in the $4 million-plus range rose 82 per cent and those in the $1-million-plus category were up 35 per cent year over year. Certainly in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, condos are becoming a choice in terms of where people want to live. If you’re a professional and want to live close to where you work, living in the downtown region has become a lifestyle choice now ...

The New Square One

If you've lived in Mississauga your entire life then you have certainly seen some major changes. Get ready for some more as Square one goes under more developments in time for 2015. The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016. Holt Renfrew along with many others will help serve the needs of an ever growing Mississauga population, particularly in the downtown core. The rise of condo's in the center of Mississauga, coupled with the new Sheridan college campus which sees an influx of students, will see down-town Mississauga as the place to be. The square one addition has recently completed construction of their food court, and with major cinemas, Go Transit hubs, and Playdium Mississauga makes it just another enticing addition for shopaholics. For more info on the construction and some great pictures check out the link below. Square One Southwest Expansion Underway
