Jarrod,
How important/relevant is a parking space when trying to sell/lease a unit in a transit friendly area such as Yonge&Eglinton?
Thanks…Ron

Hi Ron,
Great Question ~ it really depends on the building. The answer for the most part would be “No” It’s not entirely relevant to have a parking spot.
Resale condos in the area don’t take any longer to sell without a parking spot. The average sale time for condos is roughly the same with or with out the parking spot. Many buildings have parking spots for rent, and as you mentioned….Yonge and Eglinton has the convenience of great transit.
If you’re in the market to buy a new condo – the cost of the parking space will retain its value. Things change when you’re dealing with a higher end building and pricey condo ~ a buyer/renter will expect a parking spot when forking out the big bucks. When buying a resale condo it’s very important to look at the history of the building as well. If every condo sold over the last year has a parking space and the one you’re looking to buy doesn’t have one. Then it’s very relevant.
Hope this helps, Thanks for the question.

Hi Jarrod
I read your article about MPAC appeals with great interest. Have you had any experience in helping your clients with this or having done this process yourself? I have heard numerous horror stories of people trying to fight MPAC assessments, only to have their properties assessed even higher. It sounds like this legislation may help.
I am looking at trying to get our property taxes down and I am hoping this avenue will help. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi David,
It will be interesting to see how this new legislation helps the process. At present there really isn’t much advice I can give you on the matter though. I’ve never personally disputed my property taxes. Family members and past clients have had success and failure with the process. With my limited experience in the matter – I’d say 50 percent of these individuals were able to decrease their taxes……Although these were unique properties, not the typical cookie cutter home.

Hi Jarrod,
Can you please tell me which condos are available for rent?
I’m looking for a two bedroom for 1800. (High Floor with a view.) Thanks.
Jarrod // August 15, 2008 at 2:44 pm |
Hilary,
You neglected to mention which area of town your considering. I will email you to narrow down a possible condo search with a high floor.

Hi Jarrod,
I’m looking for a parking spot to rent from Mon-Fri in the Yonge and Eglinton area. Wondering if you know of any?
Thank you
Jarrod // August 19, 2008 at 12:18 pm |
Hi Paul,
At the moment the cheapest rental for condos within the area is $1600 for a 1 bedroom. You might want to try some of the buildings on Erskine, Roehampton, Broadway.
Jarrod // August 19, 2008 at 12:19 pm |
Hi Leonora,
Try some of the rental buildings on Erskine ~ i’ve heard of a couple people lucking out and getting a deal there. Rio Can always has spots, although it’s about $200 per month.

Hi Jarrod,
Is there any 2 bedrooms and den left at 83 Redpath and what is the price?
Thanks,
Diana
Jarrod // October 2, 2008 at 7:49 pm |
There are no more 2+1 Bedroom condos available at 83 Redpath.
Do you have any interest in other buildings.
Diana // October 3, 2008 at 4:04 pm |
tahnks, how about just 2 bedroom?
Jarrod // October 3, 2008 at 5:59 pm |

Thanks

Hi Jarrod,
We’re looking to rent a condo in the midtown area (Yonge and Eg), 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom and 2 parking spaces. Rent rage is $1800 to $2400. Must be a newish model (i.e. no old appliances) and the more spacious the better
Any insights?
Jarrod // February 3, 2009 at 6:28 pm |
You will have no problems finding a nice and newer 2 bedroom condo for rent within your budget. However it will be impossible to find a condo offering 2 parking spaces. Last year there were a total of 3 condos offering 2 parking spaces….all were rented around the $3000 per month range.
Your best bet will be the North and South Tower at Minto…..2181 and 2191 Yonge street for new and spacious condos.
Check your email…I have included everthing available.

Do you have any good condo unit: 2 beds, 2 baths, 1 parking, 1 locker located on 10th or higher floor in the Minto Condo (South/North)? I already searched Toronto MLS.
Cantact me at email soonest.

Hi Jarod what do you think of 5460 yonge st the Dynasty towers? good bldg
Jarrod // September 21, 2009 at 2:04 pm |
Hi Joe,
There is nothing wrong with the building. Just not the best option compared to whats available. Most condos i view within the building need up dates due to the age. There are also no balconies….But you will find great prices and well sized units.
