Moving Packing Tips Use the right size boxes. Put heavy items, like books, in small boxes; light items, like linens and pillows, in bigger ones. (Large boxes packed with heavy items are a common complaint of professional movers. They not only make the job harder but also have a better chance of breaking.) Put heavier items on the bottoms of boxes, lighter items on top. If you’re loading the truck yourself, pack heavier boxes first, toward the front of the truck, for balance. Don’t leave empty spaces in the boxes. Fill in gaps with clothing, towels, or packing paper. Movers often won’t move boxes that feel loosely packed or unbalanced. Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box. It will make your packing quicker and your unpacking a lot easier, too. Label each box with the room it’s destined for and a description of its contents. This will help you and your movers know where every box belongs in your new place. Numbering each box and keeping an inventory list in a small notebook is a good way to keep track of what you’ve packed and to make sure you still have everything when you unpack. Tape boxes well. Use a couple of pieces of tape to close the bottom and top seams, then use one of the movers’ techniques making a couple of wraps all the way around the box’s top and bottom edges. Bundle breakables. As you pack your dishes, put packing paper around each one, then wrap bundles of five or six together with more paper. Pack dishes on their sides, never flat. Use plenty of bunched-up paper as padding above and below. Consider other items that will need special treatment. Treat TVs like any other piece of furniture, wrapping them in quilted furniture pads. However, plasma TVs require special wooden crates for shipping if you don’t have the original box and can be ruined if you lay them flat.

September 7, 2016 --Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry
Cerqua announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported a
record 9,813 sales through TREB's MLS® System in August 2016.
While this sales result was 23.5% above the number of transactions
reported for August 2015, it is important to note that the majority of
sales are reported on working days and there were two additional
working days in August 2016 compared to 2015. When the year over
year discrepancy in working days is accounted for, the annual
percentage change in sales is closer to 13%.
"The conditions underlying strong demand for ownership housing remained in place, including a relatively strong regional economy,
growth in average earnings and low borrowing costs. Unfortunately, we did not see any relief on the listings front, with the number of
new listings down compared to last year. This situation continued to underpin very strong home price growth, irrespective of home
type or area," said Mr. Cerqua.
The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark for August 2016 was up by 17.2% on a year-over-year basis. Similarly, the
average selling price for all home types combined was up by 17.7% on an annual basis to $710,410. Both the MLS® HPI benchmarks
and average prices for low-rise home types were up by double digits percentage-wise.
