Ottawa Citizen: Canadians might soon be able to find out how much the house down the street sold for, without getting up from their couch.
The Supreme Court of Canada has announced it will not hear an appeal from the Toronto Real Estate Board, which has been arguing for years that its housing sales prices, broker commissions and pending sales do not need to be publicly disclosed.
Some say that decision, announced Thursday, will send tidal waves not just through Toronto, but the entire country’s real-estate industry, and could empower home buyers and sellers alike, by putting relevant pricing information at their fingertips.
