Cheers,
Jeff & Shelagh P.S. Hauntings are all the rage as the season of orange and black falls upon us all ... Black Creek Pioneer Village's dark forest, University of Toronto's ghosts, The Distillery's sordid history, and Mackenzie House animate Toronto's Haunted Walks. If being spooked on the water suits, take a fateful trip to the Toronto Islands for Murder at the Lighthouse. But let's face it ... castles, demons, and what lurks around dark corners promise to make this year's The Legends of Horror a most enervating experience.

INTEREST RATE HIKE 
Stephen S. Poloz, Bank of Canada Governor
The Bank of Canada (BoC) recently raised its overnight lending rate to 1%. For months, the Federal Reserve, the BoC's peer in the United States, has publicly stated its intention to raise interest rates, while selling off investments it made to keep the economy buoyant after the 2008 financial crisis. The BoC had been resisting hikes until it had unequivocable proof of growth across the Canadian economy. July's net growth of 11,000 new job positions and August's net growth of 22,000 have combined to reduce the unemployment rate to 6.2%: A fourth consecutive month of improvement. In its own monetary report, the BoC noted the common cost of living - the price of a mix of products and services commonly purchased by Canadians - had risen 1.4% in July. The kicker was the surprise 4.5% quarterly growth in spring GDP (Gross Domestic Product) - the total of all products and services generated by Canadian individuals and businesses. The shortest-term consequence of this decision is the increasing value of Canadian currency against the US dollar. Canada's banks are responding to the BoC decision with rate hikes of their own, increasing the cost of new and variable-rate mortgages, as well as carrying charges on line of credit balances.

The number of new properties introduced to the market for sale during this period was up 9.4% over 2016. The average selling price across the GTA continues to climb, up 2.6% over 2016. In the City of Toronto, average selling prices year-over-year were up across the board - by 24% for condos, 5.2% for semi-detached homes, and 4.8% for townhomes, and 4.4% for detached homes. Speaking in general terms, year-over-year price stability within the City of Toronto bodes well for the confidence of buyers and sellers, in that both share a desire for a stable investment.
