Fear of missing out provokes panic buying – study
by Ephraim Vecina
The latest study by TD Canada Trust revealed that around 13 per cent of buyers in Toronto and Vancouver purchased homes in a rush for fear of missing out on good picks before these grow too expensive for their budgets, underscoring a disturbing trend in Canada’s most active housing markets.
Meanwhile, fully one-fifth of the survey respondents indicated a degree of buyer’s remorse, saying that they might have dived headlong into the frenzy without taking stock of what they could actually afford.
The survey proponents strongly suggested a calmer and more measured approach on the consumers’ part, as panic buying might artificially inflate demand and prices, thus further placing homes out of the average household’s reach.
“It's understandable that house hunters don't want to miss out on buying their dream home, but that shouldn't come at a cost they can't really afford,” TD Canada Trust associate vice president Marc Kulak said...

Price hikes forcing rent increases
-by Justin da Rosa
Investors in this market likely to enjoy even higher rents.
Condo rents in Toronto have increased 6.8% year-over-year as vacancy rates fell to 0.5%, according to Urbanation.
“The rental market is benefitting from strengthening fundamentals such as employment and population growth, but also quickly eroding affordability and intense competition in the ownership market,” Shaun Hildebrand, Urbanation’s senior vice president, said. “Even with record numbers of condos coming up for rent by investors, conditions have tightened, supporting increased rental development.”
The number of condos rented through the MLS system in Q1 of this year increased by 25% year-over-year to 6,163 units.
That follows a record 2015 when 27,155 units were rented – a 19% year-over-year hike.
For the fourth quarter in a row, condo leases outgrew total listings. The ratio of lease-to-listings hit a Q1 record of 78% -- up from 64% a year ago.

How to Reduce the Chance of a Burglary by 90%
No one wants to deal with a burglary. How do you reduce the chances of one happening?
Fortunately, burglaries are a well-studied phenomenon — especially by law enforcement. These studies have identified specific things you can do to cut the risk dramatically. Here are some ideas:
• 34% of home break-ins occur through the front door. Experts recommend investing in a door with a top-quality locking mechanism. (The best are those that lock at three points of contact.)
• 50% of burglars will be deterred if your home has some sort of video monitoring system. A thief doesn’t want his face on YouTube!
• Unfortunately, signs and window stickers warning of an alarm system do not deter thieves. However, 62% of burglars will immediately run away when an alarm goes off. Always turn on your alarm system when you’re not home! ...
