Bringing neighbourhood options home

Toronto real estate website helps home buyers fit into a booming housing market

Arecently relaunched website, Realosophy.com helps Toronto consumers understand their home buying options in a hot real estate market. The expanded website now offers Toronto and GTA neighbourhood profiles featuring at-a-glance school performance reports and an insider’s guide to the home buying process. Realosophy.com is a free information service that does not require users to submit email addresses or other personal information. “Toronto home buyers are feeling anxious about fitting into a booming real estate market,” explains Realosophy’s founder, John Pasalis. “Buyers are increasingly diverse. They want their homes to fit their particular lifestyles. But media reports about sky-rocketing prices and fake multiple offers leave them wondering how to make this happen.”

Realosophy.com helps empower consumers with the following resources:

1) Toronto and GTA Neighbourhood Profiler

The profiler combines popular online tools such as Google Maps with housing and school data in an easy-to-use neighbourhood search format. It offers profiles for over 175 neighbourhoods including lesser-known options. Each profile highlights average area prices as well as dominant housing types, allowing users to quickly assess affordability and lifestyle suitability. The profiler also offers consumers a unique look at schooling options. Over 1,700 public and private schools are mapped by neighbourhood. Provincial school data is presented at-a-glance to illustrate the performance of local public schools. Realosophy understands that not all consumers measure neighbourhoods with the same yardstick. The profiler’s ‘deal breaker’ feature brings the all-important morning coffee run to life as Starbucks and Tim Hortons locations are mapped by neighbourhood.

2) The HomeBuyers Guide

The HomeBuyers Guide is a pro-consumer look at home buying in Toronto. Using a step-by-step, jargon-free approach, the guide provides consumers with insider tips on handling major worries from choosing the right real estate agent to picking out a fake multiple offer.
