With over 600 units in the DNA3 Condos project, it is said that this condo will be the go to condo in King West.  Not only are the finishes and floor plans amongst the best of many, but the amenities that this condo will offer will not be able to be compared to any other projects in the area.

DNA3 Condos Update

With the New Year well underway, it's safe to say that DNA Condos in King West has surpassed the industry's expectations. Being the fastest selling project in King West, it is no surprise that construction has started. DNA Condos launched the two 12 storey buildings about a year and half ago. The demand was so intense that the builder went to the city to acquire two more floors for both towers. After being approved, these penthouse floors sold just as quickly as the original towers. With only 3 units left out of the 600 or so units, this is your last chance to invest in DNA Condos which will be a landmark in the King West neighbourhood.

Minto 775

Minto 775 is an incredible project that is going up just steps away from the corner of King and Bathurst. In terms of location, in the King West area, this site is hard to beat!  In terms of availability, there are still some wonderful larger suites still available. As it is hard to find condos that are over 1000s/f in this location, take advantage! Condos in Toronto are only getting smaller and smaller!

DNA 3 Condos Standard Finishes Can't be Beat!

With Toronto Condo builders getting more and more competitive with higher end standard finishes, it is no surprise that the standard condo suite finishes at Canderel Stoneridge's DNA3 Condos can compete with the best of them.

When purchasing Pre-construction Toronto condos, it is always important to clarify with your Realtor what features and finishes are standard in the unit model suite. From there, you can get a pretty good idea of how much you would need to budget for upgrades if the standard finished do not meet your approval. It is for this reason, we take our hats off to the standard finishes that will be found at DNA3 condos. They are as follows:

DNA3 Condo Kitchen- model suite

-9 foot ceilings

-Baseboards to be over 4 inches thick with 2 inch trim to match

-Ceilings to be smooth or exposed concrete

-European stainless steel appliances including a microwave

-Breakfast island

-Washer and Dryer

-Engineered wood flooring throughout except for in bathrooms and laundry room

-Ceaserstone counter tops in kitchen

-Undermount sink in kitchen

-Glass backsplash in kitchen

-Porcelain tiles on floor and walls in washrooms

-Modern vanity in washrooms

-Deep soaker tub in all suites

-Frameless glass shower in suites with two full washrooms

-Dual flush toilet

DNA3 Condo Bedroom - Model Suite

DNA3 Bathroom - Model Suite

As you can see from the extensive list, the standard finishes at DNA3 condos are hard to beat.

DNA3 Condo Living Room - Mode Suite

DNA3 Condo Update

With approval granted for the upper floors of DNA3 condos, it is no surprise that this condo will be a landmark in King West. Both condo towers will now be 14 storeys in total giving these upper floor units unobstructed views in all directions. This alone is rare to find in the King West area as zoning laws have proven to be quite rigid in the past. Considered one of the fastest selling projects in King West, there is no doubt that these upcoming new releases at DNA3 Condos will sell out just as quickly.

Tips on Selling your DNA Condo

The current real estate market condition in Toronto is starting to pick up for sellers. The  market early last year proved to be a strong seller's market with condos sitting on the market for only a few days before selling. The  market today is definitely starting to pick up just in time for spring.  In the meantime, it's more important than ever to put the extra effort in when selling your Toronto Condo.
Here are a few tips when selling your condo in Toronto:
1. If the unit is vacant, staging can have a positive effect as it can help potential purchases visualize how space can be utilized.
2. If the unit is occupied it is extremely important to keep the space tidy. Surfaces should be clear, washrooms should be clean and dishes should not be in the sink.
3.It is to the sellers benefit to remove any paintings or objects with religious meaning. A simple religious object can limit potential buyers.
4. Be flexible with showings. If people can't get into see your unit, how can you expect it to sell?
5. If you are home when a showing is booked, step out of your home. Potential buyers will feel like they can't talk freely with their agent and will feel pressure to look quickly. You want showings to be a pleasant and comfortable experience.
6. Restrain pets. Even though Snoopy may be really friendly, a lot of people are scared of dogs.
A few little changes can make a huge difference when it comes to selling your home. A little more effort can set you apart from your competition during these market conditions.

To Barbecue or Not to Barbecue – That is the Question!

One of the things that people overlook when purchasing a Toronto condo is whether their new condo will permit them to barbecue. With more and more people choosing the condo lifestyle in Toronto, it can sometimes be very difficult to find a condo building that will accommodate aspects of a freehold home into your condo such as barbecuing. This alone makes your condo search a more challenging and frustrating task.

Many buyers are under the impression that condo policies on barbecues can be taken lightly. After all you do own the unit so why shouldn’t you be allowed to barbecue freely on your balcony or terrace? Unless you want a lawsuit on your hands, abide by the condo corporations rules.
According to The Ontario Fire Code, there are no restrictions on where barbecues can be located. The city of Toronto does allow balcony cooking however your condo corporation may prohibit these actions. An interesting fact is that it is the transportation of the BBQ on the elevator and the storage of the propane tank that is illegal not the actual barbecuing. By law, charcoal and wood fires used for cooking are legal however it is the condo corporation that will prohibit barbecue usage. To date, there have been many legal battles concerning barbecues on condos balconies; therefore it is best to do your research and due diligence prior to purchasing a condo in Toronto if barbecuing is an important aspect of your condo lifestyle.
With builders now realizing the demand for barbecuing privileges, the installation of natural gas lines on balconies and terraces in Toronto is becoming more and more common. Such units can be found in the DNA Condos, including the newest of the buildings, DNA3. Where natural gas lines are not present, the majority of Toronto condo buildings are attempting to accommodate barbecue lovers with a rooftop terrace if they are prohibited on individual balconies.
When searching for a condo in Toronto, it is important to ask your Realtor to only show you units where barbecuing on balconies is permitted. Once you’ve chosen the condo you would like to reside in and you’ve decided to put in an offer, make sure that your Realtor makes the offer conditional on your lawyer’s review of the status certificate. A portion of this document deals specifically with the barbecue rules and regulations of the condo building.
If you are interested in knowing which condo buildings in Toronto will permit you to barbecue on your balcony, or if you have a particular building in mind but are not sure about whether barbecuing is permitted, please feel free to click on DNA Condos for more information.

The Truth about Open Houses

The process of selling your condo can be somewhat stressful and as Realtors, it is our job to market and sell your property to the best of our ability with the least cost and disruption to you and your family. There are many tools that we use to help in the sale of your home but one common misconception is that open houses and advertising it in the newspaper sell your condo. While these marketing tools may seem like a good opportunity for you as the seller, the truth is, open houses generally don’t sell a home.
According to The National Associations of Realtors, only 1% of homes are sold by conducting public open houses. Realtors use open houses as more of a prospecting tool then a way to sell the home. It is not uncommon for a listing agent to pass on the job of hosting an open house to a newbie agent as there is a very low chance of the home selling through this avenue. For newbie Realtors, open houses present a great opportunity to meet prospects who are in the market for a condo. When parties come through the open house, the Realtor has them put down their information on a sign in sheet. In addition to being a security measure, this list allows the Realtor to follow up with them and help them in their home search.
Another type of open house is what is called an "agent open house." This type of open house allows Realtors in the neighbourhood to have the opportunity to visit the property before it is exposed to the public. What is commonly forgotten is that Realtors have access to the most important tool for selling your home and that is the MLS system. If an agent has a client for your home, they will book a showing for their client through the MLS system. Not only is the property advertised freely to all the Realtors on MLS, but is also published on the public MLS site. From the public MLS site, buyers can search for your home and contact the listing agent if they want to view the property.
Another common misconception that sellers have is that newspaper and magazine advertising increases the odds of selling your home. Again, according to The National Associations of Realtors, only 3% of homes are sold by advertisement inquiries. Also keep in mind that these advertisements can be very expensive.
Realtors understand that sellers want everything possible done to sell their home however, Realtors also know that conducting open houses and newspaper advertising generally will not sell a home. In reality, Realtors bring the most serious and qualified buyers so focus on the types of marketing that attract the Realtors; having a well put together home that shows well and pricing right and then the qualified buyers will follow.
