It's time for your questions on our May consumer Q/A segment, ‘The Situation’.
I once again talk to Urmi Desai, Editor of Move Smartly, about the detailed questions you send in to me about the real estate decisions you are making as you navigate through the Toronto area housing market.
Today, we hear from a frustrated buyer of a pre-construction condo who home appraisal by his mortgage lender says his unit is now worth less than what he paid for it. One condo investor wonders if her condo could be considered tax free if her son lives in it and another wonders if she should her condo unit before the capital gains tax increases in June.
