The High Park Neighbourhood

The iconc and well sought after High Park Neighbourhood is one of Toronto’s greatest destination for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and those that enjoy active or contemplative lifestyles. An inspiration for writers and artists, the neighbourhood is marked by mature trees that line streets of mainly large single-family homes. Beautiful Tudor, Edwardian and Victorian-style homes from the late 1800 and early 1900’s remain, with some converted into multiple-family dwellings. Many still have the leaded glass, hardwood trim and flooring, which offer that sought after character.

A handful of high-rise rental-focused apartment buildings have long appealed to singles and couples wanting to move into the area. Newer condominium developments along Bloor have also broadened the area’s demographics. Stunning views overlooking the park and a maintenance-free lifestyle make condominiums like The High Park complex popular with downsizers as well.

Bidding wars are the norm in this desirable neighbourhood. Greatly popular schools, Toronto’s largest park and proximity to the Bloor subway line mean there is great demand for this residences in this neighbourhood.

Breaking COVID-19 Changes for Real Estate Industry

Earlier today, the Government of Ontario announced that 27 public health regions will transition out of the shutdown and into a revised and strengthened COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open (the “Framework”) on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.

The four remaining public health regions, Toronto Public Health, Peel Public Health, York Region Public Health and North Bay Parry Sound District, will remain in the shutdown and the Stay-at-Home order. They are anticipated to transition into the Framework on Monday, February 22, 2021.

Find out what level and which regional public measures are in place for your area on the OREA COVID-19 Information Hub.

Even with the Stay-at-Home order ceasing to apply in some regions as of Tuesday, February 16, everyone is strongly advised to continue to stay at home, avoid social gatherings, minimize travel between areas with different rules, and limit close contacts to their household.

How Does This Impact Real Estate?

If your public health unit region is in the levels Green-Prevent, Yellow-Protect and Orange-Restrict, open houses are permitted. While the option to host an open house is available to you, REALTORS® should continue to use digital and virtual technology first and to the greatest extent possible.

For regions that are under Stay-at-Home order, Red-Control and Grey-Lockdown, open houses are not permitted. Scheduled in-person showings are permitted, provided they follow all health and safety guidelines.

For guidance on Safe Open House Practices and Safe In-Person Showings Protocol, go to the OREA COVID-19 Information Hub.

Information about residential evictions and short-terms rentals is available on the OREA COVID-19 Information Hub.

As always, please stay tuned for future messages from OREA on government announcements and how they impact real estate in your region. 

Thank you and stay safe. 

Sincerely,

Sean Morrison

ONTARIO NEW HOME INDUSTRY BIG REGULATORY CHANGES

On February 1st, 2021, The Ontario government established the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) to improve consumer protection. 

A new and separate regulator for home builders and vendures has been established to ensure that the industry is held to professional standards. This is to provide greater confidence for buyers and owners of new homes by helping them be well-informed and better protected by:

  • Licensing of new home builders and vendors;
  • Expanding the existing Ontario Builder Directory to provide regulatory compliance and warranty information about builders and vendors across the province; and
  • Implementing a formal complaints process for the conduct of new home builders and vendors. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: 

  • The Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) regulates new home builders and vendors in Ontario.
  • The HCRA is designated under the New Home Construction Licensing Act, 2017.
  • The creation of the HCRA as a separate authority addresses consumer concerns about potential conflicts of interest within Tarion, Ontario’s new home warranty and protection program administrator.
  • The Rebuilding Consumer Confidence Act, 2020, passed on July 14, 2020, promotes higher quality new home construction. It intends to reduce defects and new home warranty and protection claims, while better-protecting consumers from bad actors.
  • Tarion will administer Ontario’s new home warranty and protection program.
  • Together, the HCRA and Tarion will provide more robust consumer protection for Ontarians.
