In this special issue, Luke Dalinda discusses a strange market phenomenon at Palace Place that he has observed since 1997. An excerpt follows.

Having served Palace Place since it had achieved its independence from Citibank in 1997, I have noticed a strange market phenomenon at Palace Place.

Palace Place suites tend to go on the market at the same time. This trend goes back all the way to 1997. When a 02 is listed, another 02 suite follows.

While any suite would sell at a record price right now, such a suite would not receive a record price when competing against three to four suites of the same floor plan.

This is why market positioning is critical to your getting the highest price possible for your suite.

Simply listing your suite on MLS is not enough! Listing on MLS alone could cost you thousands of dollars without the added value of strategic advertising and promotion.

You need a realtor who has serviced Palace Place from the beginning. You need a realtor who has tracked every single sale and market condition since the beginning.

I am the #1 top selling Palace Place resident realtor. I have been doing this since 1997. I am on-site and on-call 24/7. I am the only Palace Place realtor that is a Platinum Level Marketer in The Toronto Star, and I have advertised the most in The Globe & Mail. Add my website, homes and condos newsletters, Facebook, and other strategic initiatives, and you will quickly discover why I get the deal done!

I have a few clients waiting in line for more units. Please call me if you are interested in selling your suite. I offer more marketing services for less commission dollars. In fact, in 2011, I had come up with very creative, original solutions that had allowed several clients take home up to $25,000 on top of their sale price!

I promise to work passionately to help you achieve the next record price at Palace Place.

CIBC FirstLine is no longer accepting applications from “stated-income” homebuyers.

CIBCFirstLine MortgagesCIBC FirstLine has decided to stop accepting applications from self-employed homebuyers. If all major banks follow this move, it could have a devastating effect on our real estate industry.

Steve Garganis, a broker with The Mortgage Centre, had said, “These aren’t B-level homebuyers. This is your next-door neighbour who’s maybe a consultant who works from home. This is your contractor or anyone who isn’t taxed by their employer every paycheque and is considered self-employed. This is a huge segment of the population.”
