Canadians Find Condos Or Homes Worth More

Better still, a vast majority (81 per cent) feel they expect to be doing even better one year from now.

The majority of Canadians surveyed (58 per cent) said their Condo or House is worth more now than pre-recession.

Additional Survey Results:

Quay West Condos At Tip Top:Toronto Harbourfront Condos

It has been a few months since Quay West Condos at Tip Top have been completed.

We had the opportunity to visit a gorgeous Penthouse facing South West with an exceptional view of the Lake and West to Ontario Place and Coronation Park, not to mention the Yacht Clubs!

Our overall first impression of Quay West Condos was how quiet and luxurious it appeared.

There is a large enclosed landscaped courtyard area and the Lobby is just far enough away from the front desk and entrance to give it an exclusive and very private look.

Amenities include 24 hour concierge, underground parking, Zen Spa, 2 fully furnished guest suites, Fitness centre, Lounge and Cyber Cafe and more.

This exciting new Harbourfront Condominium project is located at 90 Stadium Rd., and consists of a 23 storey tower with a 9 storey podium.

There are 364 Condo suites planned featuring studio, one bedroom, one plus den, two bedroom, two bedroom plus den, and townhouses, offering something for everyone.

Available Quay West Condos At Tip Top for sale or rent can be viewed here.
