Where House Prices Jump 19% a Year
London is in the midst of a boom so giddy it has parted company with the rest of Britain. Construction is everywhere, from the new towers of the City of London (a global financial center larger than Wall Street) to the mansions of Kensington (where the world’s superwealthy burrow below ground to accommodate staff quarters and the de rigueur swimming pool) to ever-hipper eastern districts like Hoxton (sought after by the ordinary mortals driven from the center).
House prices in London have jumped about 19 % in a year.

Mortgage Pre-Approval
Buyers need to have a clear idea what they can afford before they start writing offers on new properties
You have to learn to crawl before you can walk.
I give this wise advice to my buying clients, but I mean it in a figurative sense. Before you can buy a new property, you need to figure out how much money you have to spend — this is why getting pre-approved for a mortgage is paramount before you start looking at houses and making offers.
Ten Handy House Upgrades
Realtors, house flippers and even economists all agree: when it comes to selling your house, time is money. And the more time it takes for your house to sell, the less likely it is that you’ll receive your asking price. That’s why it pays to unleash your creative side and make home upgrades that will boost the appearance and appeal of your house in the current market. These worthwhile remodelling investments can be completed in a timely manner and ensure major resale returns!

NEW YORK TIMES .....Toronto's Four Square Blocks
It is always interesting to see Toronto written up so favourably in The New York Times....
The latest installment of a series about creative urban neighborhoods explores the cultural highlights of an area near downtown Toronto.

One might even say it’s in the sweet spot between scared off and priced out.
Fourteen very interesting and funky places are highlighted below... click on link.....
