A BIG CONGRATS to our teammate Karl Wong. In 2011 Sales Award, he received both "The Path to Excellence Award" and "Sales Achievement Award". 12 months later, he won the "President's Award"! Bravo!
As our branch manager, David Wong, said, "there is no secret to our business... Hard Work..." Karl definitely applies himself and continues to learn. A case in point, during our Sales Award & Christmas Gala, all management: Stephen Wong (Chariman), William Lau (President) and all branch managers did a Gangnam Style dance to entertain all the colleague. They did a surprisingly good job (check the shots below).
And guess what? To follow the footstep of the management, Karl has been working his "KarLam Style" (his Chinese name is 嘉林). What do you think of his dance?
Haha, just a little more seasonal fun. Hope you all enjoy. For sure, you will be seeing a lot more of Karl in 2013. Let's Go, Team.

TREB Market Watch November Highlight
![]() |
source: TREB |
* CMHC's new and tighter mortgage lending rules plus Toronto Land Transfer Tax deferred some potential buyers from entering the market.
* Since June, the monthly resale transactions fared worse than 2011, year-to-year-wise.
* With less transactions and more listings, it has become a buyer market.
* Although transactions reduced, the average home price is modestly higher ("...detached homes that sold for over one-million dollars was down substantially...")
* According to MLS HPI detached benchmark (comparing home of the same attribute), low-rise home price "was up by almost six percent in Toronto."
For complete report, visit TREB's website.

I Buy Condos, Tenants Pay My Mortgages
On Nov. 10, Jacqueline So wrote a Toronto real estate related cover story for Ming Poa Saturday Weekly titled : "我買柏文,租客供" (loosely translated to "I buy condos, tenants pay my mortgages"). The explanatory title highlights this piece 's refreshing perspective: "辣招壓巿成投資良機" - "tough rules regulating the market could be a good investment opportunity."

Like other thorough works of Jacqueline, she shared stories of a couple of condos owners and interviewed with TREB 's Jason Mercer, a fellow realtor and myself. It is a solid article. For those who missed this article, here is a scanned version :1st page, 2nd page, and 3rd page.
Enjoy.

Ralph: I am Ralph.
Jenny: We had 2 properties: 1 condo and 1 house. While we were deciding which property to keep, we got to know Fanny through friends.
Jenny: Fanny is a really good realtor. Once she understood our situation, she recommended us to keep the house. Because... as she explained... the value and the investment potential of our house outweighed that of our condo.
Jenny: For a realtor, selling our house could generate more commission dollars. However, she really acted for our best interests and according to our circumstances.
Jenny: As it turned out, we made the right decision. We thank Fanny from the bottom of our hearts. She is really good. Highly recommended.
Ralph: Thank you.

Cathedraltown. Unique. Serene. Outstanding.
The neighbourhood of Cathedraltown is unquestionably unique in its design and planning. And for most who have visited or seen pictures of the place, it is inevitable to sense the tranquility transcended.
As for "Outstanding", let's highlight some of the demographic data.
- 52% ages between 25 to 54
- 2/3 are married
- more than 2/3 with university or college education
- average household income of $124,791
Given 1/3 (33%) of Cathedral residents are under 25 year old and 21% are of Grade 8 or younger, schools are essential. Even the community is young, there is no shortage of quality education.

Mathematica 2012 Top Performing Schools
Since 2001, Mathematica has been an annual national math competition - conducted through participating schools or math academies - for students (now covering from grade 3 to grade 9).
We got to know about Mathematica when our child's school enrolled into grade 4 Byron-Germain contest. As keen parents, we follow the contests, much like how we do with Fraser Institute School Report Card. We find like-minded friends and fellow parents
This year, to facilitate the sharing process, we have charted all full time schools in Toronto and York Region which made national top 20 in Byron–Germain (grade 4), Fibonacci (grade 5), Pythagoras (grade 6), Euler (grade 7) and Lagrange (grade 8) contests.

For parents who wish to enrich their children with further arithmetic training, Toronto and Markham have many quality mathematics academies. These classes/courses contributed 14 entries in our Mathematica grade 4-8 top performer list.

Tips on Choosing Homes
A few days ago, Ming Pao Saturday Supplement had a very informative cover stories: "樓價今年不跌反升" ("Home Price Not Falling, Faltering but Rising") and "專家教你揀樓買" ("Experts' Choices of Homes"). The author of the articles is Jacqueline So (who wrote this and this).
Jacqueline has done a great job in capturing the views of key real estate market authorities. Then she presented realtors' practical tips for choosing homes with potential and resilience under the current condition. Home buyers, future home buyers and others could gain some insight into current GTA property market. (Here is a scanned version for those who missed to grab a Ming Pao on Saturday).
