I am thrilled to introduce my project aimed at providing a comprehensive analysis of the Toronto Metro Real Estate Market in a newsletter format. It is tailored to be particularly useful for Real Estate industry professionals, institutional investors, builders, lenders, and other organizations that heavily rely on real estate analytics to conduct their business. However, it also includes insights valuable to private investors, homeowners, and renters.
The Mission
My goal is to deliver analytics that gives you a competitive edge. To do that I distill all incoming news and statistics into key risks, imbalances, and major trend shifts. While the main focus is on long-term trends that evolve over time, I also aim to identify market turning points and set short-term expectations.
I value your time and ensure every insight is concise, relevant, and backed by clear charts. You’ll receive a monthly newsletter in addition to yearly charts - no spam or surprise emails. Any schedule changes will come with advance notice.
Scope of the Analytics
The primary focus is the Toronto Metro real estate market, but my analysis goes beyond local data. I consider economic indicators, demographics, national trends, and even global factors—anything that could significantly impact Toronto's market. This broad perspective sets me apart from analysts who rely on limited data.
Instead of long-term forecasts, which I find unreliable and less useful, I take a conditional approach. I outline potential outcomes based on different scenarios, giving you a clearer view of how the market could evolve under various conditions.
Satisfaction Guarantee
I am committed to delivering a product that meets or exceeds your expectations. To ensure your satisfaction, I offer a selection of paid content samples available to everyone (link1,link2,link3), as well as a complimentary 7-day trial. Furthermore, should you encounter any issues or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me, and I will make every effort to resolve them promptly. Contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.
About Me
My name is Alex, and I sold my principal residence in 2017, opting to rent instead. As a hobby, I immersed myself in studying Real Estate Analytics, Economics, Financial Markets, and Credit Cycles, and discovered a newfound passion for these fields. My background in mathematics serves as a valuable asset, allowing me to enhance my work through statistical analysis, various modelling techniques, and more.
In 2018, I established a Twitter account @xelan_gta aiming to provide exclusive insights on the Canadian Real Estate Market, Economy, and some global and unsustainable trends, with a primary focus on Toronto. Right from the outset, my objective has been to produce unique, valuable, and unbiased content, and I remain committed to this goal.
Over time, I have amassed a following of over 10,000 individuals, including institutional investors, government agency members, high-ranking economists, media personnel, builders, prominent real estate analysts, and analytical companies. Additionally, over the last six years, I have acquired extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in real estate analytics. I am continuously expanding my expertise in this field, improving the accuracy and track record of my analytics. My profound interest in it motivates me to pursue it as a career, not just a hobby.
Thank you for your interest in this project!
