6 Smart Things to Do Before You Move 1. Manage packing smartly. Give yourself a daily box quota to prevent a draining weekend of non-stop packing. Avoid boxing up your old place in one fell swoop, if you have the time. Remember, you'll need some energy left to unpack, too. 2. Don't pack your closet. If you use professional movers, ask them to bring several wardrobe boxes on the day of the move. The movers take clothing right on the hangers and, woosh, your clothes will be in and out. Bonus: You can skip a full day of ironing once you're settled. 3. Switch your utilities. This one may seem like a no-brainer, but the timing is key: As soon as you have a closing date, call the utility companies and set up a service switch. This is especially important if you're moving into a home that is newly built or previously vacant: Arranging a maintenance call to re-establish service might be necessary. 4. Make saying goodbye easier. Moving from a home with sentimental value (your kids' growth-mark notches in the doorframe!) can be gut wrenching. To ease the pain, create a Pinterest board with things you're excited to do in the new home, like dream decorating or new things to do in that part of town. 5. Haul the basics before the moving truck comes. If your new place is within driving distance of your current home, plan to take basic supplies over the day before. Unpacking the bathrooms in advance and having pyjamas and clothes for the next two days set aside will bring some normalcy to the chaos of the boxes. 6. Discover the local resources. Take a walk around your new neighbourhood and be sure to introduce yourself to people you pass by. This is the best way to get a recommendation for a handy man, neighbourhood favourite babysitter and get to know the lay of the land. If your life was an ABC Sunday night drama, these meet-and-greets would be peppered with salacious gossip on the community's comings and goings. Source: www.GoodHouseKeeping.com

Sales Up and Listings Down in February
March 3, 2017 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 8,014 residential sales through TREB's MLS® System in February 2017. Despite the fact that February 2016 had one more day due to the leap year day, this result was up on a year-over-year basis by 5.7% compared to 7,583 sales reported last year.
"The February statistics tell me that many Greater Toronto Area households continue to view home ownership as a great long-term investment. The high demand for ownership housing we're seeing is broad-based, with strong sales growth for most low-rise home types and condominium apartments. This makes sense given the results of a recent consumer survey undertaken for TREB by Ipsos, which found an even split between intending first-time buyers and existing homeowners who indicated that they were planning on purchasing a home in 2017," said Cerqua.
While the demand for ownership housing grew over the past year, new listings entered into TREB's MLS® System in February were down on a year-over-year basis by 12.5% to 9,834.
"The listing supply crunch we are experiencing in the GTA has undoubtedly led to the doubledigit home price increases we are now experiencing on a sustained basis, both in the low-rise and high-rise market segments. Until we see a marked increase in the number of homes available for sale, expect very strong annual rates of price growth to continue," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Direc-tor of Market Analysis.

Counter offer: If, for example, your original offer to the vendor is not accepted, the vendor may counter offer. This means that the vendor has amended something from your original offer, such as the price or closing date. As this new offer varies the terms of the original offer, this rejects the original offer. If a counter offer is presented, the individual has a specified amount of time to accept or reject.
