The Foreign Transaction Fee: What is it and how to avoid it
August 16th, 2018
Sticking to a budget is hard enough while on vacation in a foreign country. Add to that elusive fees, such as the foreign transaction fee on credit cards that tacks on a few extra dollars and cents to all purchases made abroad, and it becomes all that much harder.
What is a foreign transaction fee?
Every time you swipe, tap or insert your credit card in a foreign country, you incur a fee known as a foreign transaction fee. On average, this fee adds an additional 2.5% to all credit card purcha[...]
How Much a Good Condo View is Worth Today?
June 22nd, 2018
A prospective buyer is always going to be focused on a condo unit’s view. Unlike a house, these units rarely have multiple windows to the outside in various directions. The exterior wall, which usually is either glass or contains a balcony, is likely the only point of contact with the natural world.
While the interior of a unit can always be renovated, a resident is stuck with the view as long as they’re occupying the unit.
Or, that view can change for the worst if a new building is const[...]

Own your home? You could be eligible for these tax credits and rebates
April 18th, 2018
It’s no secret that property prices in many urban areas of Canada are on fire. And it’s not limited to just the core of Toronto and Vancouver. Houses for sale in Hamilton, for example, have doubled in price in the last decade and houses in Mississauga are almost $750,000. It’s increasingly hard for the average Canadian to get a foothold on the property ladder. Even the most affordable market segments, like condos and townhouses, feel out of reach. And if you do own your home, it’s likely to requ[...]
How Competitive is it to Buy a Home in Toronto? INFOGRAPHIC
March 6th, 2018
Toronto real estate has been tumultuous in the last few years. At first, everything was going, up, up and up. Record low-interest rates made huge mortgages more attractive, and few new suburbs were developed thanks to the Greenbelt. Almost 90, 000 Newcomers were moving to Toronto each year, along with Canadians from other parts of the country. The high demand and low supply put a squeeze on property prices, causing average property values to rise double-digits, year over year, with seemingly no [...]
