Mesdames et messieurs, fiers propriétaires de condos et vendeurs trop ambitieux, le marché de condos montréalais est maintenant un marché d’acheteurs. Laissez votre fierté de côté, mangez un morceau de tarte d’humilité et soyons réalistes. Nous ne sommes plus en 2010. Il ne s’agit plus d’un marché de vendeurs.

Are there any decent condos out there for $300,000 that are not the size of a shoe box? The answer is yes!

Dear readers, welcome back to Lease Biters! The New Year is here, 2013 has quickly kicked us back into reality, and for me and my fellow colleagues, it’s also back to realty.

Dear readers, welcome back to Realty Bites! A few weeks ago, I wrote a column that explored what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various Montreal neighbourhoods.
