My goal this year is to bring you some information about some of the exciting cities located within a short drive of the GTA and some housing options that exist in these cities.
Moving within these short distances allow for you to visit and stay connected with family and friends here whilst setting up a new home and a new chapter in a smaller, less expensive city which will provide you with all the amenities you are looking for, along with a rather fantastic home to move to and some money left over from the sale of your Toronto home.
Let the dreaming begin ….is it about travel, is it about pursuing a simpler life while getting out and enjoying hobbies you love like biking or hiking, or gardening in your new garden? Are you into design and want to design your new home, just the way you like it? Is it maybe helping your kids with a down payment on their first home so they can start a family and their new life? The options are endless. There is one common message though, if you own your own home in the Toronto/GTA area and you are selling this year: you will command a high price enabling you to make that change and do it in style.
As Toronto residents we have so many wonderful options near to us to make a wonderful transition to new and exciting communities. Within 2 to 3 hours of travel you can get to some pretty awesome towns and cities that offer a plethora of options to consider when it comes to great housing. There are resale options from Sellers who own great homes in these cities but now it’s time for them to move on. There is also a group of brand new options to consider as there are award-winning new home builders in each of these great towns and cities who have answered the call to what the Downsizing population are looking for,namely building beautiful bungalows and bungalofts sitting on manicured lands which have been developed as vacant land condominiums so that your home is considered a Freehold purchase and the surrounding yards and access roads are maintained for you by the condo management team…..no grass cutting and no snow removal for you!! I think that sounds like the best of both worlds….
I am going to present over the coming weeks some introductions to what is possible in cities and towns like Picton and Prince Edward County, Kitchener/Waterloo, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and more…….
We have fantastic qualified experienced agents in those areas ready to serve you, answer your questions, show you great properties and help to get you the home you want in their cities. Our goal is to be your one stop shop. We have the expertise in the GTA to get your home sold for top dollar and giving meeting the terms that are important to you.
I hope you will stay with me over the coming weeks and I would love to hear from you with your questions and comments and look forward to consulting with you on how to move you forward to achieving your real estate goals and into the next new stage of your life.
The first one I will present to you today is Prince Edward County – just approximately 3 hours from Toronto. We have great agents working with us and ready to make this dream come true.
I asked our local experienced Prince Edward County agent to tell us more about her community and this is what she says and it sounds like there are many options available for the many different styles of living you may be dreaming of…..
“Visit and live in beautiful Prince Edward County surrounded by wineries, beaches, the millenium walking trail, vegetable and fruit markets, fine dining, unique shopping and lots of artists. You have a choice to own a newer home in an exclusive adult lifestyle subdivision, OR purchase that large parcel of land to build your own custom designed home surrounded by nature, privacy and fresh air, OR own a beautiful 5 bedroom/3 bath home on a one acre property with the breeze of Lake Ontario in the back yard OR be in Belleville enjoying the sites of the city with a 3 bedroom/2 bath bungalow within walking distance to all amenities. Own a little part of paradise.” The options sound endless!
