Dear reader, Get ready for action. After two years of soaring interest rates, Toronto now holds a surplus of inventory for buyers who have been frothing on the sidelines. What’s more, on June 25, the capital gains tax for individuals is set to skyrocket from 50 to 67 per cent, meaning investors and cottage owners have an incentive to sell in a hurry. Reporter Ali Amad paints the market picture in our second-quarter edition of Price Check, Curb Appeal’s top post this week. Choosing the $1-million mark as his point of reference, Amad dissects the recent sales of three very different homes in three very different neighbourhoods. The results may surprise you. Also in today’s newsletter: a Ritz-Carlton unit with a giant halo hovering above it. Plus, a retreat in Port Carling equipped with a winter-proof sauna out back.

Reporter Ali Amad breaks it all down in the latest edition of Price Check. |
