TTR Issues 2013 Average Hotel Rates for Toronto Canada; Rates Drop $50/night on average.

TTR has conducted a survey of hotel rates and average nightly rates for the hotel industry as part of its property management research for executive relocation housing.

The findings are issued as tabular and graphic data for the months January 2013 through December 2013.

The rates by comparison have dropped by approximately $50/night across all 10 properties surveyed from 2012, largely as a result of increased supply in the housing market and the ability of individual home owners to find more affordable accommodations with executive suites which typically price 75% below hotel rates as an industry average.

The closure of The Delta Hotel and conversion into an furnished long term stay suite provider is also an indicator of the changes taking place in the industry.  AirBnB allows individual home owners to rent their accommodations on a nightly basis.  And Marriott's cross-licensing and sale of ExecuStay to Oakwood Global Solutions provides another indicator of the cost and structural changes taking in the hotel and long term stays industry.

TTR Staging Systems Marketplace Platform

TORONTO / May 13, 2013 / TTR is announcing the development of owner and agent enhancement services to help accelerate sales and leasing for qualified agents and brokerage networks.

TTR's system will provide deep analytics including multivariate analysis to provide agents with real time and relevant data on the business impact of staging with detailed analysis including fabric, design, designer brand, condo unit floor height, view direction, kitchen upgrades, floor upgrades, fresh paint, price, time of listing, average days on MLS to provide agents with predictive data on final sale and time to sell within a confidence level of +/- 5% error.

This system will also enable marketplace transactions to allow owners, agents, designers, contractors, project managers, builders, developers, corporate clients and human resources departments, relocation firms, movers, truck rental and storage rental companies to collaborate and conduct business more efficiently.  We expect the rollout of the beta technology platform to be in September 2013.

This system is designed to help alleviate a perceived slowness in sales demand and possible risk to investor property portfolios and reduce owner risk and increase options for agents and their clients to reduce distressed sales, improve cash flow options through furnished leasing, and reduce foreclosure risk.
