New data analyzed by MoveMeAway.com shows a correlation between moving scam scares and decreased real estate purchases in Toronto. A statistical analysis of sales figures published by the Toronto Real Estate Board reveals a notable dive in housing sales at times where moving scams have been given public attention, showing sales beginning to decline, for instance, the same summer The Star ran the investigative story—over the same months that are generally peak moving times (May-September).
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) October 28, 2011
Has public attention given to recent moving scams in Toronto have made some residents scared frozen, hesitant to move at all? Toronto seems to be now dealing with a hangover of its hayday of real estate glory, unable to match its sales in 2007 and 2009. Analysts point towards increased housing prices, however, dramatically decreased interest rate have The Toronto Real Estate Board encouraging us that now is the time to buy, urging home buyers to “continue to take advantage of the affordable home ownership options in the GTA”. So why aren’t many Torontonians budging? The strong correlation between moving scam scares and lower buying is undeniable. Residents and councilmen alike are still anxious to see the moving dilemma in Toronto resolved. In a recent CBC article published Oct. 13th, 2011, Toronto Coun. Glenn De Baeremaker voiced his concern about getting the city regulations to stop moving scams, and one can find endless blogs and sites by Torontonians warning about companies that have scammed them.
The problem with keeping tabs on these scammers is that most of these companies, like Desi Movers, repeatedly change their name in order to keep taking advantage of others. So what is a Torontonian to do? It used to be that consumers would use directories like the Yellow Pages—but nowadays it would be illogical not to try the internet. Consumers can weed their way through endless Toronto movers’s websites, trying to discern the fraudulent from the real, while trying to find a reasonable deal. But since “low balling” or low prices is one of the telltale signs of scamming companies, it can be very tricky to find a company that you both know is reliable and has a reasonable price. With all the difficulties Torontonians are having finding reliable moving companies, many are turning to lead generation companies, who function as a high-speed connecting force between consumers and moving companies offering the services they need. The problem with many of these sites, however, is that anyone saying their a moving company can register, so consumers are put at the same risk.
