Land of the Condo

Toronto loves it's Condos - they are sprouting up everywhere, especially along the Gardiner in the south end of the City. Service Canada says that in the sales of Condos are up "New home sales in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) increased 28.2% in the first eight months of 2010 compared with the same period last year. Year-to-date sales show condominium sales increased by 78.4%, while low-rise housing sales declined 2% compared with the same time last year." The news gets worse further into the year as sales are dropping. Hopefully this will turn around soon as the building cranes seem like a forest of steel and they need to keep working and people still need homes.

I would love to get one of the units in a building close to the downtown core that is attached to the PATH system. You could get plenty of exercise and never have to go out in the winter weather, check out all the attractions and entertainment that the city offers and shop until you drop.

You could also get out a telescope and check out the sky and other things you can see from your window high above the city streets.
