Are there too many condos in Toronto? Real estate wiz Brian Persaud takes on this contentious issue
We're feeling like nobility just looking at these new renderings from The Royal Collection
Hey-ho, let’s go! Hey-ho, let’s go to some real estate industry events this weekend!
We’re going punk rock for the day and blaring the Ramones in the ol’ BuzzBuzz HQ. It’s not just for fun though! Listening to the Ramones increases focus and productivity by 50 per cent. We definitely read that in an academic journal somewhere…
That’s why you hopeful homebuyers out there should be listening to the Ramones while researching that important purchase you’re about to make. Read more
Choices can be hard, especially when want you really want is far away.
Luckily, living at the Viceroy, an upcoming development by Bosa Properties and BlueSky Properties means never having to make another hard compromise.
Thanks to an awesome location in the unique and super walkable neighbourhood of central uptown New Westminster, you can be close to it all.
Sometimes we like to pretend we’re from a magical place where you pay what you see, and no hidden fees or taxes are tacked on afterwards.
Sounds dreamy, right? (Or straight out of Portland).
Well, that’s exactly what you get with Arista, a move-in ready townhouse project by Hayer Homes in Surrey.
Alright, Vancouver property seekers, it’s time to lower your sights to raise your expectations.
Collection 45, a MYIE Homes development in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood of Vancouver, is raising the real estate stakes by offering a low rise development that claims to outdo its high-rise counterparts.
Sitting 6 stories high with 45 homes, the folks behind Collection 45’s design claim that by focusing on the history of the community and the cultural vibe of the neighbourhood low rise apartments are able to offer lifestyle and design components that high rises just can’t compete with, and theirs is a prime example.

We know it’s usually polite to let other people have the last of something.
But just like when that last chocolate chip cookie is sitting on the plate, some things are worth snatching up before anyone else can get it. Just like a new home at Fusion!
With only one home remaining at this Primex Developments-built project on the ultra-trendy Commercial Drive in Vancouver, this is your final opportunity to live the life on The Drive.
Alright, so we all knew Vancouver was expensive and has killer properties, but every now and then news of one knocks our socks off.
That’s exactly what happened when we stumbled upon this $28.8 million penthouse, located at the luxurious Fairmont Estates Pacific Rim in downtown Vancouver. In a prime spot in Coal Harbour, the penthouse is 6,434 sq ft over two levels, complete with a private roof-top patio and gardens to enjoy views of Stanley Park, the harbour, and the North Shore mountains.
What do you think? Is it worth the mega price tag? Read more
This Saturday is the gala for the 2011 Georgie Awards, Canada’s most awesome and prestigious housing awards program that celebrates excellence in homebuilding.

We finally got the chance to check out Academy, the latest high-rise project by Polygon in Vancouver. Nestled next to Pacific Regional Spirit Park, and right by all the amenities and shops of UBC, Academy is giving other developments a lesson on West Coast living.
Check out what Academy has to offer with these pictures, and pop by the presentation centre at 5696 Berton Avenue. Read more
KitsWest held their exclusive preview yesterday, and we were there to check it out. Within minutes of opening, the presentation centre was packed with potential buyers anxious to get a look at the finalized floorplans and fabulous homes set to be built at 4th and MacDonald by Redekop Group of Companies.
Want to see what went down? Take a look at KitsWest’s sneak peek!
This is a very special edition of the weekend events listing and we’re very glad you could join us for it.
Usually our events listings are congenial affairs where everyone comes together peacefully under the banner of homeownership. Not this time though! Ontario has officially thrown down the gauntlet and challenged BC to an events showdown.
As you’ll see below, BC has a lot of events for prospective homebuyers and could easily claim to be the most eventful province in Canada. But not so fast West Coast! Ontario might just have you beat and wants to challenge you for the title of most eventful province. Read more
