Have you ever been in the market for a new home or condominium in Toronto? If you have, you likely know the frustrating Toronto real estate cycle that comes when a home you thought was in your price range just sold for way over asking!

This is the exact experience that homebuyers Jazmine House-Evanylo and J.R. Gabriel share in this recent Toronto Star article .

Even when they found an older home that they thought was in their budget, they realized that necessary renovation costs were still putting their home just out of reach.

And then there were the bidding wars!

On one occasion, a house they looked at in The Junction was listed for $745,000, only to sell for $860,000!

Luckily these young professionals found a solution that works for them at Reunion Crossing at St. Clair West and Old Weston Rd.! With condos starting from the $400's and urban towns starting from the $600's, Reunion Crossing was created specifically to meet the needs of middle budget buyers like Jazmine and J.R.

Reunion Crossing's developer, Diamond Kilmer Developments, was actually founded to fill this "missing middle" in Toronto's housing market, so that more residents could find their way to more affordable home ownership.

When buying directly from a developer, homebuyers will never have to deal with the stressful and disappointing bidding wars that are so common in today's highly competitive resale market.

Jazmine and J.R. quickly gravitated to the urban townhome plans available here. "It's a better way for us to get into the market" says Jazmine. "It's going to be a self-sustaining community with mixed retail, park space and access to condo amenities... For the amount of money, we're definitely getting a lot more than a single family home."

The couple are making this move from a rental condo on Queen Street W., so they will likely be pleased to come home to a neighbourhood that offers local convenience similar to what they're used to. Excellent shopping, dining and culture can be found all around them with The Stockyards, The Junction and Corso Italia neighbourhoods all at their door.

Great access to the St. Clair streetcar, UP Express Train, Bloor GO Station and Dundas West Subway will be further improved by a new Smart Track GO Station proposed right at the corner of St. Clair and Old Weston.

You can read even more about Jazmine and J.R.'s journey in the Home section of The Star. Diamond Kilmer is thrilled to welcome them to the neighbourhood!
