6 h. ago Toronto house listed for just $1 is primed for a bidding war

In this slow real estate market, some realtors are thinking outside the box to get their house to sell. Take 218 Bogert Ave., for example. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in West Lansing has been on and off the market four times since 2023 without selling. The living room. It was first listed for $1,599,000, but after a month on the market, owners took it down. They then performed a couple of upgrades in the house, like painting the kitchen cabinets, and re-listed it for $1,698,000.But, it still didn't sell.  A bedroom. Most recently, it was listed again for $1,888,000. But still, you guessed it: no bites. A bathroom. Now, the realtors have opted to list 218 Bogert Ave. for just $1, hoping maybe they'll get lucky and spark a bidding war that will get the owners closer to their desired selling price. A bedroom. It does seem a bit strange that the involved parties have ...

13 h. ago New restaurant coming from people behind trendy Toronto pasta spot

There's soon to be a brand-new spot for heartwarming (and belly-filling) southern Italian fare in Toronto, and it's the love child between the folks behind some trendy local businesses.As someone whose daily protein regularly occupies the single-digits, easily dwarfed by that of carbohydrates, anything attatched to Jess Maiorano, who you may recognize better by her Dundas West restaurant, Pasta Forever, immediately piques my interest.Ever since Jess started her pasta-based business when work for many chefs dried up back in 2020, she's made a splash around the city with a variety of pop-ups, collaborations and a brick-and-mortar on Dundas West, and now she's gearing up to open a new place in one of the city's most stylish neighbourhoods this year.It's going to be called Zia's Place and, Jess tells me, "the inspiration behind it, is that feeling when you go to your zia's [...] for a Sunday lunch," referring to the Italian word for aunt, "maybe you eat too much food...
