Given the current economic landscape, buyers from around the world will be pleased to discover that previously unavailable properties are now up for sale at affordable prices.

New York City Rents Flat in February
December 29, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Usually, the beginning of the year sees an uptick in rental rates. There are various boring economic reasons for this seasonal cycle that are really just too dry to get into. Suffice to say, it has nothing to do with landlords falling out of their holiday cheer after a month of saying in December “OK guys, you know what, lower rent for everyone, and eggnog drinks on me!” That never happens. Landlords don’t do that.
The point is, though, that that didn’t happen this year. January rolled around, and average rental rates continued to fall, as the financial markets began laying people off (happy new year!) and the national market continued to plummet.
So, average rental rates for New York apartments in the month of February were on a lot of economists’ minds recently.
Thus, it comes as good news to the economy that rents were flat in February – or, at least, that type of “good” news that’s good just cause you’ve gotten so used to bad news that just OK news feels like a heavenly choir in your head.
While the city could certainly use a good amount of low rent housing, the lower rental rates are not a good sign for the economy as a whole.
Basically, the normal cyclical momentum that pushes rents higher this time of year was just enough to arrest the decline in property values.
Interestingly, rents for apartments in buildings without doorman increased slightly, while rents in buildings with doorman decreased. This, perhaps, suggests that larger, more professionally run NYC apartments have been adjusting their rents to the new market environment with more dexterity than smaller landlords. Many of the latter may still be clinging to the past, when New York apartments virtually rented themselves in the most seller’s market in the country.
Another important factor in that dichotomy: The recent spate of condo building in the financial district has left a minor surplus in the number of high-end, high rent condos. Over the past two months, most owners of those buildings have lowered rents in order to fill their larger-than-normal number of vacancies.
Rental rates for New York apartments fell in a number of neighborhoods. Harlem and Murray Hill saw some of the largest decreases. SoHo and Battery Park City were not far behind. Rents in Chelsea and Midtown West fell slightly.
The Upper West Side and Upper East Side, meanwhile, saw decent increases in average rents. The Lower East Side also saw a small increase in prices.

How can I spend less in New York City?
December 29, 2009 by admin · 7 Comments
My family is looking forward to spending time in New York City, this April Vacation. But with this economy we have to be a little cheap. We are thinking of driving cars there, but we assume that there will be a hard time to find a parking space, so where can we park the car, and get around the city worry-free. Also, what is some good cheap places to eat? And what can we do in New York City for fun and affordable?
First time in NYC so please explain clearly.

York Region
December 28, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
York Region has a population of over 870,000 people and covers an area of over 1,750 square kilometres. Sitting between Peel Region in the West and Durham region in the east, York Region consists of the Cities of Markham and Vaughan, with the townships of Aurora, East Gwillimbury, King, Newmarket, Richmond Hill and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
The two main population centers are the Cities of Markham and Vaughan. Both Cities have average populations with Markham being the largest in the Region with over 220,000. Markham is renowned for being the Hi Tech capital of Canada with several high profile corporate head offices making the city their home. The city is modern with excellent healthcare and schooling. Vaughan has one particular claim to fame in being directly north of Toronto, making them “above” the main city. This too is a rapidly expanding city with great facilities and plenty of new communities springing up.
The York Region is host to over 25,000 businesses which provide 400,000 jobs – a number that is growing by approximately 20,000 per year at current rates. With close proximity to the Pearson International airport and a young, well educated workforce, York Region is one of the fastest growing regions of the GTA and is very popular with Immigrants. The York Region Transit system connects most communities within the Region to each other and the Toronto GO Transit system to give a very effective public transport network.
The Region administers the Healthcare and Education following the Provincial guidelines. The York Region District School Board and the York Region Catholic District School Board are responsible for the day to day operations of the Region’s schools – all of which can be contacted via these sites.
The Town Of Aurora – With a population of over 43,000, the Town of Aurora is another rapidly expanding town. The population is young and has a high average income (compared to most Canadian towns) of around $110,000 per household. The housing is fairly expensive though with an average price of a single family detached home being over $370,000 two years ago!
There is a large variety of employers in the town and it is also commutable to the Toronto downtown core. This gives a low unemployment level of 4% in 2001 with the majority of employment in management/business, finance and sciences/technology. Manufacturing and retail are the other big areas of employment. To research all the businesses currently operating in the town go to the chamber of commerce site via the towns Economic Development Division page on the Town website.
The town itself is a historical place with plenty of old buildings with lots of character. With close proximity to both the big city of Toronto and the rural areas, Aurora provides excellent recreational opportunities to its residents. This ranges from parks, playgrounds and pedestrian trails to championship golf courses, fine dining and theatre. A full recreational program is offered in the Town which will soon be augmented by a new state of the art Recreation Centre.
The Town Of East Gwillimbury is a semi rural area located only half an hours drive from Toronto. Another historic area with settlement dating back to the 1700′s, the population is now over 20,000 and growing.
Again, East Gwillimbury has an excellent array of recreational facilities including arena’s, trails, play parks and over 135 acres of parkland. There are ice rinks, outdoor sports pitches, the usual golf courses and for the less active a 16 screen movie theatre.
There are a wide variety of employers in the town providing ample employment and the new GO Transit station gives good access to the city. The population also enjoys an above average household income.
The Town Of Georgina is the most northerly area of the York Region and is made up of several smaller communities. Situated on the South eastern shores of Lake Simcoe, the communities of Georgina have plenty of beaches and open space – especially with the area being known as “Getaway Country”.
The lake offers up year round recreation including swimming, boating, canoeing, fishing and ice fishing to name a few. On top of this the great outdoors is all around and the communities have good facilities. Some of the more prominent communities are Keswick, Sutton, Udora, Jacksons Point and Port Bolster.
Most employment seems to be in the local services and tourism sector though full research can be carried out through the chamber of commerce website.
The Township Of King is home to around 20,000 people and is a fairly rural area. Famous for the Holland Marsh – a fertile area that produces most of the Provinces fresh vegetables – most industry is based upon the support of agriculture. There are a lot of Horse breeders in the area along with livestock and dairy farms. There is some light industry and the Seneca College campus is located on the former Easton estate.
As with most Canadian towns, King has good sporting and leisure facilities including golf courses, trails, parks and 3 arena’s. Most facilities are pay as you use – more details can be found on the township website. The Township has a rich history dating back to the aboriginal peoples and then the western settlers in the late 1600′s. A museum is now dedicated to the area’s history and will be well worth a visit.
There are excellent transport links to Toronto and it’s only around 40 minutes to drive to Pearson International airport (south). A prosperous town, the average income back in 1996 was over 97,000 with an unemployment rate of 5%. In the 8 years since I can only see that the average income would rise to over $100,000 per household.
The Town Of Newmarket is another large town with a population of over 73,000 that is growing fairly quickly. Over 70% of the population are under 45 years old. With all the amenities you would expect for a big town, Newmarket is home to the York Region Administrative Headquarters, the Provincial Court and the District 1 Police HQ.
The Southlake regional health centre is a fully equipped modern hospital with plans for expansion. These combine to make local government the highest employer in the area. On top of this, the local business community is growing at over 3.5% each year with retail stores and manufacturing companies having a large presence. Use the links on the town site to go to the Chamber of Commerce site for the full listing of businesses.
For recreation purposes there is a full program of sports and activities with the new Ray Twinney Rec. centre having two arena’s and an indoor pool. There are several other arena’s, pools and rinks in the town as well as a youth centre with a fully equipped skatepark. All the usual outdoor activities are available in the area including hiking, cross country skiing and golf. For the less energetic, the Upper Canada Mall is an impressive 1 million square feet of shops which should pacify even the most hardy shopper!
House prices are reasonable for Ontario with the average in 2001 being $242,000 for a single family detached home. Being located close to Toronto brings obvious benefits with great transport links including the GTA GO Transit system. The York Region Transit system also operates in the town. Highway 404 will direct you to the downtown area of Toronto in around 30 minutes and Pearson International airport is only an hour away. Buttonville airport in nearby Markham is useful for lighter regional aircraft.
The Town Of Richmond Hill is one of the fastest growing large municipalities in Canada and has a population of over 158,000. Situated directly North of Toronto, (between Markham and Vaughan), Richmond Hill is ideally located for commuting and access to the city for recreation or onward travel. As with the other municipalities, Richmond Hill has the York Transit, Toronto Transit Commission and the GTA GO Transit networks providing great options for transport.
Richmond Hill is renowned for its world class high tech manufacturing and research companies with the lowest R

The building offers a spectacular sight against the night skies with its flood light colors changing to match the holiday themes.
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in the city and is a historical landmark, built to connect Long Island with Manhattan. The bridge is 1825m in length and runs over the Easter River. It also features a fine walkway right in the middle of the bridge, reserved for cyclists and pedestrians.
The Times Square is a night time eye candy, lying at the intersection of midtown Manhattan, has illumined digital signs called ‘spectaculars’ that come to life at night.

Question about skiing in the New York Area?
December 27, 2009 by admin · 3 Comments
I wanted to sign up for catalogs/magazines which would have occasional coupons, discounts, and specials for skiing resorts during the skiing season. Do you have any suggestions on where I can start looking for these (I tried on Google- no luck), or if you have had any experience with this sort of thing.
Thanks in advance.

Museums & Art Galleries
New York is a city of great museums with the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s assemblage of historic art, the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum’s 20th century collection, and the American Museum of Natural History and its Hayden Planetarium focusing on the sciences.

Shopping
Shopping is popular with many visitors, with Fifth Avenue being a famous shopping corridor for luxury items.

In recent years 23rd Street has become a major location for “big-box” retailers. In southern Manhattan, Greenwich Village is home to hundreds of independent music and book stores, while the East Village continues to prevail as purveyors of all things “strange” and unusual which you can’t find anywhere else. The “diamond district” (located on 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) is the city’s main location for jewelry shopping, and SoHo, formerly the center of the New York art scene, is now famous for high-priced clothing boutiques, and the art galleries are now concentrated in Chelsea.

Sports
Although in much of the rest of the country American football has become the most popular professional sport, in New York City baseball arguably still stirs the most passion and interest. A “Subway Series” between city teams is a time of great excitement, and any World Series championship by either the New York Yankees or the New York Mets is considered to be worthy of the highest celebration, including a ticker-tape parade for the victorious team.
