August in review

$540, 204: average price of a semi-detached home in the 416 in August.

$374, 544: average price of a condo townhouse in the 416 in August.

26: sales in W05 (between Steeles, the 401, Dufferin, and the Humber), Toronto’s busiest August sales area for semi-detached homes.

1998: the last year Ontario’s Condominium Act was revised. A current provincial review is expected to last until fall 2013.

18: sales in C15 (between Steeles, the 401, Victoria Park, and Bayview), Toronto’s busiest August sales area for condo townhouses.

10,000: number of condo dwellers the province is hoping will volunteer to be on its Condo Act advisory panel.

0.5: percentage of a new building’s value that developers would be required to deposit with a new Condo Review Board under Bill 72, to ensure the condo is properly built.

72: number assigned to MPP Rosario Marchese’s bill to “improve the Condominium Act.” Introduced last May, Bill 72’s proposals include licensing Ontario’s property managers and extending new-home warranties to loft conversions.
