GTA REALTORS® REPORT MONTHLY RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES--August 2013

TORONTO, September 5, 2013 – Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 7,569
residential transactions through the TorontoMLS system in August 2013. This represented a 21
per cent increase compared to 6,249 sales in August 2012.
“Sales were up strongly this past August for all major home types compared to last year. Many
households have accounted for the added costs brought on by stricter mortgage lending
guidelines and have reactivated their search for a home. These households have found that a
diversity of affordable ownership options exist throughout the GTA,” said Toronto Real Estate
Board President Dianne Usher.
The average selling price for August 2013 was $503,094 – up by almost 5.5 per cent compared
to the average of $477,170 in August 2012. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) composite
benchmark was up by 3.7 per cent over the same period.
“Despite an increase in borrowing costs during the spring and summer, an average priced home
in the GTA has remained affordable for a household earning an average income. With this in
mind, tight market conditions are expected to promote continued price growth through the

remainder of 2013,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Ordering Picture Frames Online

Thanks to smartphone technology, it's now possible to send your favourite photographs and images off to a professional framing house, without leaving your home or risking damage to a precious print. All you need is a good quality digital photograph or image from your phone or camera that you can email or file transfer. In some cases, depending on the facility (and copyright laws), you may also be able to provide a high-resolution image of artwork for framing. Of course, the higher the resolution you can send, the better the quality of the results you'll receive.  But, that's just the beginning. Before committing to a particular frame, you can now use a frame service's app to test-view your photo, poster or art in position with an entire inventory of virtual framing and matting arrangements. You can try different combinations until you find the one that works best for you. You can even see how an individual piece looks on your wall or plan out an entire collage or galler
