6 Simple Steps to Painting a Room
Clean walls. Remove dust, dirt and grease spots (which can ruin a smooth
finish) with water, a little mild dishwashing detergent, and a cellulose
sponge. Rinse walls with clean water to remove the soap residue.
Tape the trim, window and door frames. Be sure to use painter's blue tape, which can be applied up to a week ahead. Remove tape immediately after painting, before the wall dries, so you don't peel off any paint with it.
Prime the walls. It's a common myth that walls that have been painted many times don't need to be primed. In fact, primer helps maximize the sheen and coverage of paint and gives the finished coat a more uniform appearance.
Brush where you can't roll. Brush on paint around trim and in the corners of walls, where your roller can't reach, with a two-inch angled brush. Extend out two to three inches from windows, doors and mouldings.
Use the W technique. For efficiency, start in the corner of a wall and roll on a three-by-three-foot W pattern, then fill it in without lifting the roller. Continue in sections until you're finished. Paint one wall at a time.
Paint the trim. When the walls are completely dry, tape where the trim meets the wall. Paint the mouldings and door and window frames with a two-inch angled brush.

October Home Sales Up Year-Over-Year
November 3, 2016 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported a record 9,768 sales through TREB's MLS® System in October 2016 – up by 11.5% compared to October 2015. For the TREB market area as a whole, the largest annual rate of sales growth was in the condominium apartment market segment. Detached home sales were up by 10% year-over-year, driven predominantly by transactions in the regions surrounding Toronto.
"The record pace of GTA home sales continued in October, with strong growth observed throughout the month. As we move through Novem-ber and December, we will be watching the sales and listings trends closely, in light of the recent policy changes announced by the Federal Minister of Finance. TREB will once again be conducting consumer survey work, in order to report on home buying intentions for 2017," said Mr. Cerqua.
The MLS® Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up by 19.7% on a year-over- year basis in October 2016. Similarly, the average selling price for all home types combined was $762,975 – up 21.1% over the same time period. Double-digit increases were experienced for all major home types for the TREB Market Area as a whole.
"New listings were up slightly in October compared to last year, but not nearly enough to offset the strong sales growth. This meant that seller's market conditions continued to prevail as buyers of all home types experienced intense competition in the marketplace. Until we ex-perience sustained relief in the supply of listings, the potential for strong annual rates of price growth will persist, especially in the low-rise market segments," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Director of Market Analysis.

Freehold: "Freehold" means you have the highest rights allowed under the law to ownership of your building, your land and any improvements on your land. Most single-family homes and some townhouse units are sold as freehold properties. Condominium: A condominium (condo) is a form of legal ownership as opposed to a style of construction. It refers to a specified piece of real estate that, while it is individually owned, shares the space and costs of maintaining common elements.
