Apparently there are other sellers/realtors who think it's still 2021...

Realtors still using strategies that worked in 2021. Don't worry, they'll still get a $26,000 commission when it sells. 😅

Going back to this one. According to @TheReal_TRREB, prices in MLS zone C13 dropped by ~11% since the house was listed.
Assuming it sells for $1.6M, if I add 11% back to adjust for the market decline, that's $1.79M - meaning it was overpriced initially by about $200K.

The house across the street from me. Overpriced initially. Now 300 days on the market. Buyers: "Something must be wrong with it"

@donnelly_b You could not buy 480 companies in the S&P 500 for $373 billion...more like $35 trillion

@ScottLuft Ah, so you’re saying that a $12(?) Dawn price doesn’t align with the $133/MWh OEMP, in Jan 2026?
Maybe Market Renewal has something to do with it.
From a total system cost perspective, it doesn’t really matter what the wholesale price is, and high wholesale prices help Class B.
English
@AMAPCEOWatchdog that matches my understanding - so my q. is what is forming prices well beyond the fuel cost.
I would not the OEB RPP price formation always assumed just the NRR cost in setting an assumption on the g.a. - so this also throws that pointless process further down

Ontario's IESO posted the Global Adjustment's component costs/credits, including January's record $494 million credit back to consumers.
For the few who follow this, here's another attempt to explain the key indicator price formation changed, this time with component costs

@ScottLuft Gas generators with CES contracts run if the gas price times the heat rate is less than the wholesale price.
Simple way to think about it - they made more in the market than the contract permits, and had to give 95% of the excess back.
English
@ScottLuft I believe it’s the difference between market revenues and the contract revenue requirement that determines whether it’s a credit or charge (not fuel costs directly).

PREDICTION: OXYTOCIN cream will replace alcohol as the smart person's social lubricant.
It doesn't dull you, inebriate you, or give you a hangover.
Rather, it helps you "communicate more openly while dialing down a lot of the social anxiety."

A 29% hike? Not quite.
That figure applies to one cost component, and the OER rebate is being raised to offset it.
Mike Schreiner@MikeSchreiner
The Ford government is jacking up electricity prices by 29%. Forcing us to spend more on energy and losing Ontario jobs because the Ford government is ideological opposed to the green energy revolution. Ontario should be leading the world in low-cost renewable energy and creating good-paying jobs along the way. Instead, Ford is keeping us hooked on US oil and gas and paying sky high prices for American SMRs.

Toronto’s congestion problem isn’t just about more cars — it’s about infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with the city.
Most of our 2,500 traffic signals still run on fixed timing plans written years ago. The pilot intersections are not enough to make a systemwide impact.
That creates two predictable failures:
• Split failures – greens too short for real demand, or phases served when no one is there.
• Coordination failures – signals that don’t sync, producing endless red-wave corridors.
A new @build_toronto memo by @kurtismcbride, the CEO & co-founder of @Miovision, lays out how a modest investment in modern, intelligent signals could cut delays by ~30%, improve travel times by ~20%, and make streets safer and more predictable for everyone.
This is one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact investments we can make to get the region moving.
Let us know if you support this idea in the thread below!

Toronto's intersections could be so much better. If you've driven, walked, cycled or taken transit in Toronto, you've probably been frustrated by them. Whether that's a green light that's too short for all the demand to clear, or advancing on a green only to be hit by a red at the next block. This is because most intersections run on fixed plans written years ago, unable to adjust to modern or real-time needs. It doesn't have to be this way. In the Netherlands, signals are designed to be responsive. Pedestrian walk phases are only triggered when a person is actually waiting. Vehicle and bicycle detection systems shorten or lengthen greens based on the traffic that has actually arrived. The system adapts to the reality on-the-ground rather than a fixed schedule. This means it'd be able to respond to construction detours, traffic surges when a Leafs game ends, or to unexpected incidents on the Gardiner. Similar systems in China saw trip time reductions of ~20% after using adaptive traffic systems. This memo proposes: 1. Modernize Toronto's traffic signals – move from outdated fixed-time plans to intelligent and adaptive signals 2. Adopt clear technology standards – leverage the global standard of camera-based detection 3. Create a joint funding model – a City-Province partnership fund can ensure every intersection is upgraded without overburdening city budgets. 4. Measure and report results – publish results to ensure accountability to the public Let us know what you think at the poll below:

Hire more officers. I see cars stopped everywhere downtown during rush hour.

From 3 to 7 pm every weekday, our @TrafficServices officers are handing out $300 fines for stopping in a rush hour route. Be aware and read the parking signs around you. Do your part and keep traffic flowing on our #DowntownRushHour routes!
