Buzz-Buzz...The First Post!

Welcome! If you've found your way here, it means you want the Buzz. So what actually is the GTA Home Buzz? Well, it's a place to find out about what's new and happening with housing of all kinds primarily in Toronto and around the GTA. It may be my own personal ramblings one day, a series of links for great info the next, and if we're all lucky, maybe Colin and Justin, or Mike Holmes, or even the Donald will do a guest blog spot from time to time.

I'm going to start things off by asking what you would pay for a piece of the sky where the view is constantly changing? And no, 360 at the top of the CN Tower is not for sale. What I'm talking about is Italian David Fisher's cutting edge design for his condo towers that are on tap to be built in Dubai and Moscow. You didn't hear it on this site first, but he's had interest from Toronto developers....For info about the possibility of a rotating tower in Toronto click here, and buzz me back with your thoughts on whether you think the Toronto market can support this kind of project.

Now getting a bit closer to home, your home that is, check out this very useful link over at HGTV on the Top 15 Home Updates that you could (and in some cases should) do to your home if you are thinking about maximizing your return on resale. It's really quite good, as it goes by project, has an average cost and return associated with it, as well as best and worst returns in certain cities. What's your most ambitious reno that you're undertaking this year? And do you think it will be worth it!
