		<title>Why is Good Design Important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How good does it have to be? An affordable housing project can be resisted by the community every step of the way, or welcomed. It can be a problem that gets progressively worse, or an asset for its neighborhood for decades. It can be a constant source of discomfort and resentment for everyone who lives in and around it. Or it can provide the people who live there with everything we all expect from our home: comfort, security, an atmosphere [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pure Insanity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good ‘ole insanity is back!
Paying 10% more than a property is “worth” is back in high fashion, and this mentality was exemplified with the recent sale on Portland Street in the thriving King West area.
What a property is “worth” is anybody’s guess, but what if a comparable sale was staring you right in the face?

I consider a “buyer’s premium” to be anything paid above what the property should reasonably sell for.
If a property is under-priced by the seller and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>CANADIAN ALTERNATIVE FINANCING</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Setting up shop in Canada comes with its own set of obstacles and benefits. Statistics Canada reports that 75% of job creation is through small businesses. Getting a conventional loan is one of the biggest challenges. Canada’s major banks have big profits yet are not supportive of small businesses. Venture capital is scarce.
Working Ventures, sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Labor, is the first national, labor-sponsored investment fund in the world. Its goal is long-term capital appreciation for shareholders, providing risk capital [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tank, Tankless or Thankless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is going &#8220;tankless&#8221; as liberating as it sounds? Is owning a tankless water heater a solid indication that you&#8217;re saving money while reducing environmental damage?
Your answer to these questions may depend on whether you own or are buying a newly-constructed home versus living in or purchasing an existing, decades-old property.
Conventional water heaters heat litres of stored water which is kept hot 24/7, even when there is no demand. Tankless units are heaters which heat water on demand, then stop.

		<title>June home sales soar 27 per cent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Multiple offers. Frenzied buyers. Higher prices.
In the middle of a recession, Toronto real estate has gone from a buyer&#8217;s market to what looks like a seller&#8217;s market. But can it last?
Some analysts say the spring fling will be exactly that – a quick bump up in numbers with a much more sombre fall to come.
&#8220;You had pent-up demand from the winter where nobody bought anything, and then these really low interest rates that brought everyone back into the market,&#8221; said [...]]]></description>
