Davisville Village Home Sales Statistics for February 2018

News that will affect home values in the coming months and years.

A new, September 2017, by-law has been implemented in Davisville Village (surprisingly, it is only specific to our community) that will prohibit built-in garages from almost all new construction homes.  The goal of the by-law was to maintain the integrity of the existing homes in the area. Unfortunately, this will cause builders (love them or hate them, they increase the value of our overall housing stock) to look elsewhere for their opportunities and result in fewer dollars being spent on new homes in our neighbourhood. The residents of Davisville Village will suffer in the longterm as neighbouring communities gentrify and our 1930s housing stock continues to age. 

The by-law is a product of a group of residents from the South Eglinton Ratepayers & Residents Association (SERRA) and 2 community meetings; one had 90 people attend and the other had only 15. There are 3,500 houses in Davisville Village.
