CANADA'S "OWN THE PODIUM" PROGRAM - A HUGE SUCCESS!

What an exciting 17 days it has been.  The 2010 Winter Olympics have just ended, however will never be forgotten!  From start to finish, VANOC did an absolutely fabulous job in organizing arguably the best Winter Olympics in history. 

To the people of Vancouver:  Hosting the world in the way you have over the past three weeks, you’ve made Canada proud!  On behalf of my fellow Canadians, I’d like to thank Vancouver, and all of British Columbia for showcasing our great country to the world!  The world now knows who Canada is, and we owe it all to you. 

To the World: thank you for being such gracious guests and for helping to make these winter Olympics the best ever! 

Congratulations to all the athletes.  Competing on a stage that was being watched by the world, you have all achieved success.  We are proud of all of you.  Congratulations!

Leading into the games, there was much talk about Canada’s OWN THE PODIUM program.  For the first time, Canada stood behind it’s athletes with financial and training support.  We made sure our athletes were ready to rock.   However, about a week ago, apparently a few members of the Olympic Committee stated that the Own The Podium program was a failure.  I beg to differ.  Own The Podium IS A SUCCESS!!  Allow me to clarify.

Olympic athletes represent the best of the best.  Sports in its truest form, helps to identify the Champion in all of us.  We are constantly surrounded by sports in our everyday lives.  Every sport has its championship game(s).  Golf, Tennis, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, and of course Hockey!  There is always a clear winner.  And this is the Champion.  In golf we have Tiger Woods, or Mike Weir as the champions.  Second or third place does not get you a jacket.  In tennis it is Sampras, Agassi, Federer, or Nadal as Champs.  Any mention of a second or third place winner at the Grand Slam?  Wimbledon?  Now we get to the team sports.  There is only ONE Stanley Cup awarded, and that is to the winning team.  The losing team does not get anything, and previously eliminated teams do not play for a medal.  In baseball, you have to WIN the division to qualify for post-season play.  AND, once again, there is only one winner in the World Series.  The World Cup is no different, neither is the Super Bowl.   Basketball’s Championship – whatever it’s called – (sorry Raptors’ Fans, but this really is HOCKEY COUNTRY) only has one winner too! 

Therefore, I’d like to ask the IOC a question!  Why do you reward second and third place finishes.  I mean, it’s a nice touch and all, but give them an honourable mention.  Now don’t get me wrong, I think it takes a special athlete to compete and win at the Olympics.  These are the best athletes in their respective sports, from their respective countries, but we should be placing greater emphasis on the winners.  That’s what the Olympics is all about.  Champions! 

For this reason, I am going to refer to the Silver and Bronze as “loser” medals.  I have similar sentiments for points awarded to teams for losing in Overtime.  These are points for losing.  That is just not right.  Let’s make a change, and have ONE Winner – THE GOLD MEDAL WINNER.  THE Athlete that is the true champion of the sport, deserves to be honoured as THE Champion.  Second and Third deserve our respect, but not a medal.  Let’s keep track of the Second and Third place finishers in order to break any ties that may result in the Gold Medal standings.  Important thing is that only the Winner should receive a medal for their performance.

Let’s do some quick math.  As per your “old” system, the top three finishers were as follows:  1. USA with 37 medals (9 gold, 15 silver, 13 bronze);  2. Germany with 30 medals (10 gold, 13 silver, 7 bronze); 3. Canada with 26 medals (14 gold, 7 silver, 5 bronze).  Therefore, a country like the USA is said to have won the Olympics because they had a more medals.  In fact, they had 9 clear winners, and 28 medals for losing!  A country with more losers, should not finish ahead of a country that had more winners. 

Let’s rank the countries in the order that they should be ranked.  Canada finishes FIRST with 14 winners.  Germany retains their second place rank with 10 Gold Medals.  We have a tie for 3rd place (and this is where your second or third place finishes can be used as tie breakers) with the USA and Norway.  With 15 second place finishes against Norway’s 8, the USA would be ranked 3rd, Norway picks up 4th.  South Korea and Switzerland tied for 5th place with 6 Gold Medals each, however we’ll give 5th to South Korea since they had 6 second place finishes to Switzerland’s 0.  This wraps up the top 6.  The rest can be ranked in a similar manner.

Ladies and gentleman, the clear winner of the 2010 Winter Olympics is CANADA with 14 GOLD Medals.  Canada had the most WINNERS!  I hereby declare Canada’s Own The Podium program a tremendous success!!  CANADA OWNS THE PODIUM!!

Is Your Roof at Risk? Identify the potential for roof failure.

Hello everyone:

Here is some great information from our friends at Direct Home Inspections. 

Asif

Is Your Roof at Risk?

The following will help you identify the potential for roof failure.

CURLING

 

 

The upward curling of shingle tabs makes them highly susceptible to wind and ice damage. This is a problem on older roofs where moisture build-up in the attic affects the underside of the shingle.

 

BROKEN SHINGLES

 

 

Damage can be caused by extreme wind conditions and snow removal. Since shingles are supposed to shed water, broken, torn or missing tabs become obvious entry points for water, especially on low slope roofs where run-off is slower and at the peaks of the roof where shingles are the most vulnerable to high winds.

 

CLAWING

 

 

This is the curling under of the shingle tab's bottom edge and is part of the normal aging process of shingles. The bulge created is susceptible to substantial damage by wind action, hail and ice.

 

BUCKLING

 

 

Buckling is a visible distortion or waviness in the horizontal lines of shingles, and usually runs in a straight line up the roof slope. Shingle tabs become exposed to wind and can be torn off. Very often, the problem is warping in the roof deck caused by poor attic ventilation. The use of thinner-than-recommended plywoods and other non-plywood materials adds to the problem.

 

FLASHING

 

Many problems occur at the flashings around vents, soil stacks, chimneys and vertical wall joints. Is the flashing cracked? Is the caulking around the flashing dried out? Are the shingles that lie over the flashing in good shape?

"RE/MAX Market Trends Report 2010"

 

 | 
 
Lack of inventory will be the greatest challenge facing housing markets across the country this Spring, according to a report released today by RE/MAX.

The RE/MAX Market Trends Report 2010, which examined real estate trends and developments in 16 markets across the country, found that unusually strong activity during one of the traditionally quietest months of the year has led to a sharp decline in active listings in 81 per cent of markets surveyed. The threat of higher interest rates, tighter lending criteria, and in British Columbia and Ontario, the introduction of the new Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) have clearly served to kick-start real estate activity from coast-to-coast, prompting an unprecedented influx of purchasers. As a result, 87.5 per cent of markets posted an increase in sales in January. Average price appreciated in 81 per cent of markets surveyed.

Rental Properties Remain HOT! Rental Transactions Up Again Sept. - Dec. 2009

From September through December 2009, TREB Members reported 3,859 lease transactions for condominium apartments and townhouses through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) – up 12 per cent from the 3,433 recorded during the same time in 2008. Condominium apartment transactions, which accounted for over 90 per cent of the total, were also up by 12 per cent.

The weighted average rent across all apartment types and all TREB districts for the last four months of 2009 was $1,667 - in line with the 2008 weighted average of $1,672.  This reflected the fact that average rents for the two most popular apartment categories moved in opposite directions, with a one per cent decrease for one-bedroom apartments and a one per cent increase for two bedroom apartments.  At the district level, rent changes were quite mixed, in some cases changing at rates above or below the GTA average.


Owners of rental condominium apartments have had to consider changes in the supply and demand sides of the condominium rental market when setting rents over the past year.  According to CMHC, the average condominium apartment vacancy rate increased from 0.4 per cent to 0.8 per cent between 2008 and 2009, with the stock of rented condominium apartments increasing by over 6,900 units1.   While the condominium apartment vacancy rate is still substantially lower than the vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments. The increase was still indicative of increased supply in some sectors of the rental market.  Factors leading to increased vacancies included the strong growth in home ownership demand in the second half of 2009 coupled with strong condominium apartment completions2,  which would have included investor-held units to be rented out.

Low inventory levels set stage for heated Spring market in most major Canadian centres, says RE/MAX - Active listings down in 81 per cent of markets in January

Mississauga, ON (February 24, 2010) - Lack of inventory will be the greatest challenge facing housing markets across the country this Spring, according to a report released today by RE/MAX. The RE/MAX Market Trends Report 2010, which examined real estate trends and developments in 16 markets across the country, found that unusually strong activity during one of the traditionally quietest months of the year has led to a sharp decline in active listings in 81 per cent of markets surveyed. The threat of higher interest rates, tighter lending criteria, and in British Columbia and Ontario, the introduction of the new Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) have clearly served to kick-start real estate activity from coast-to-coast, prompting an unprecedented influx of purchasers. As a result, 87.5 per cent of markets posted an increase in sales in January. Average price appreciated in 81 per cent of markets surveyed. "There have never been so many motivating factors in play at once," says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. "We're in for a heated Spring market that will, in all probability, spill over into the summer months, as the window of opportunity draws to a close. The supply of homes listed for sale has been drastically reduced, housing values are once again on the upswing, and banks and governments are moving in unison toward stricter lending policies."

Commercial Space Leased in January Almost Doubles Figures From Last January

TORONTO, February 18, 2010 — Last month, TREB Commercial Members reported 660,815 square feet of leased space. This result was a substantial increase compared to the 336,029 leased square feet recorded in January of 2009, when the rate of economic decline was greatest during the recent recession.

 

According to Commercial Council Chair Garry Lander, “Two quarters of growth in the Canadian economy coupled with six straight months of employment growth in the GTA suggests that recovery has taken hold. Commercial transactions in 2010 should improve over 2009 levels as recovery continues in the goods producing and service sectors.”

Lease rates fell in January. Industrial space in all size categories leased for $4.60 per sfn (square foot net), a 14 per cent decline from the $5.38 per sfn recorded in the same month last year.

 

Commercial space fell 23 per cent to 14.59 per sfn from $18.90 per sfn last year. Office space traded for $10.83 per sfn, down 8 per cent from $11.73 per sfn in January 2009.

 

Sales Market Highlights

TREB Commercial Members recorded 42 sales of IC&I properties in January, including 16 industrial buildings of all size categories which averaged $62.41 per square foot. This compares to a figure of $46.73 per square foot derived from non-MLS sources.

February Home Sales in Toronto On Record Setting Pace!

MID-FEBRUARY RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES

 

TORONTO, February 18, 2010 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS reported 3,555 sales through

the Multiple Listing Service during the first two weeks of February.

 

This represented a 74 per cent increase compared to the 2,044 sales recorded during the

same period in 2009 when resale transactions had dipped due to the recession. The

February mid-month sales total was also 7.7 per cent above the previous high set in 2006.

 

"Home ownership demand remains strong in the GTA, as households remain confident

that economic recovery is at hand and that ownership housing will continue to be a

quality long-term investment," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour.

 

The average price for February mid-month transactions was $429,997 - an 18 per cent

increase over 2009. New Listings within the Toronto Real Estate Board boundaries were

up 15 per cent to 6,212.

 

"Double-digit price increases will persist through the first quarter of the year," said Jason

Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "However, as new listings continue

to increase creating a better supplied market, we will see the annual rate of price growth

moderate into the single digits."

Ontario Home Buyers Facing New Rules

This morning, Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced three key changes to mortgage insurance rules:

1.    All borrowers must meet the standards for a five-year fixed rate mortgage even if they choose a mortgage with a lower interest rate and shorter term;

2.    The maximum amount one can withdraw in refinancing their mortgage will be reduced to 90% from the current 95% of the value of one's home;

3.    Non-owner occupied properties will require a minimum down payment of 20%.There were no changes to down payment requirements or length of amortizations for owner-occupied residences.

These rules are intended to come into force on April 19, 2010. I will keep you updated on any changes. Regards,

Strong Start To 2010

After a sluggish start to 2009, the housing market picked up speed as the year went on. 2010 has picked up where 2009 left off! What a difference a year makes! While January 2009 saw 2670 being reported on the MLS®, Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,986 transactions through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) in January 2010. This result represented a huge increase over January 2009 when the home sales were in a recessionary trough. Last month’s sales were slightly higher than the January average in the five years preceding 2009. Demand remains strong through the first few days of February, and Supply remains tight. If you, or someone you know, are looking to sell your property in the near future, the time couldn't be better than it is now. The limited supply is making Multiple Offer scenarios a common occurrence and pricing indicates a full-fledged sellers' market. Call me and I can provide you with Today's value of your property!
