Broadview Table Talks: Toronto Real Estate Podcast

The tenant screening process is crucial in avoiding future problems. Join me as I chat with Weiting Bollu of Openroom.ca, to discuss her platform that helps small landlords and great tenants navigate the rental market more effectively, contributing to a more connected and transparent ecosystem. Open Room allows users to search for tribunal decisions related to tenants or landlords, providing timely and crowdsourced data that might not be available through other sources like CanLii.You must make this a critical part of your tenant/landlord screening (and reporting)!

Why have prices only seen a modest decline in the Greater Toronto Area, despite soaring inventory and sluggish sales? What happens to condos when they get really old? Will they crumble and be insolvent? What happens if I can't close on my preconstruction purchase? Should I sell first or buy first?Let's analyze the latest data on price changes, sales volume, and inventory levels from August 2024, and how the recent rate cuts by the Bank of Canada and rising unemployment impact the housing market. Don't mind all the jump cuts in this video, there was a lot of "umms" and "ahhs" -- I was tired when filming this.Q&A 0:32 Why are home prices stable despite high inventory? 2:55 Should I buy a 40 year old condo? 5:20 I can’t close on my pre-construction purchase! 12:20 Sell first or buy first?Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4-_SfNhcCtgSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.

When you have an already densely populated city like Toronto, creating more housing is not an easy thing to do. Constant population growth in Canada (increasing at 3% per year) has caused Toronto, the largest city, to be in an extreme housing crisis. This problem has been brewing steadily for the past two decades already, and likely won't be fixed even if we gave it two more decades to solve it.One of the ways the city has responded to the housing affordability crisis is by introducing the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) program by intensifying existing land. First was the laneway suite, and then came the garden suite. Now we are allowed multiplexes and eliminated single-family zoning, and recently, rooming houses are now allowed. I wanted to talk about the latest evolution, the city allowing small apartment buildings on major streets in Toronto.I couldn't find a better person to talk to than Craig Race, one of the first people to bring laneway suites to reality in Toronto. Join us as we go through the cost benefits of each of these different housing typologies, noting the financial and regulatory challenges involved.Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MYEhckMl37gSchedule a 15-minute Zoom call with Ken: https://www.broadviewavenue.ca/appointments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe now to keep updated for more information.If you want to chat with us, do the following:1.
