Toronto Condos: The newsmedia animal thrives on explosive captions, The Globe and Mail gave us one today, only to scroll down and discover… well… nothing much… as I posted in recent article series Toronto Condos Spring 2008 Prediction, expect the low-end to slow down – mainly b/c young buyers have been out-priced off the market – not the first time I’ve said it’s happening.
