68 years ago today the Skyway opened. And it cost 15 cents to drive over it.

The backstory is kind of great. In April 1952 a freighter called the W.E. Fitzgerald, loaded with sand, crashed into the old bridge over the Burlington Canal. Which made a pretty good case for a bridge ships could just go under.

Premier Leslie Frost opened the Burlington Bay Skyway on October 30, 1958. 8,400 feet long, 210 feet up at the top. Tolls started November 10 at 15 cents a car and lasted until December 28, 1973. The twin bridge came along in 1985.

So be honest. Do you remember the toll booths, or is this news to you?

Quick one. That square screw every Canadian swears by? It's from Milton.

P.L. Robertson was demonstrating a screwdriver when it slipped out of the slot and cut his hand pretty badly. So he came up with a screw head it couldn't slip out of. He had the patent by 1909, and his company moved from Hamilton to Bronte Street in Milton in 1908. There's a provincial plaque there now saying it was the first company in the world to make socket-head screws.

So why didn't it take off in the States? Henry Ford's Windsor plant reportedly saved money on every Model T using them, but Ford and Robertson both wanted full control and neither would budge.

Robertson or Phillips? Pick a side.

Halloween's on a Saturday this year, so you basically get two weekends of it. 🎃

This Saturday, Oct 24
Georgetown: Masquerade on Main & Mill, 4 to 6 pm. Trick-or-treating at the downtown shops.
Port Credit: the City's Halloween Community Ride, 6 to 8 pm from J.C. Saddington Park. 12 km on bikes after dark, costumes optional. Register on Eventbrite first, and helmets and bike lights are a must. Better for older kids.

Halloween day, Sat Oct 31
Streetsville Spooktacular, 10 am to 1 pm. Trick-or-treating at the village businesses, face painting, games and crafts.
Halloween in the Village, Clarkson, 11 am to 2 pm. Lakeshore closed to cars, bouncy castles, a trackless train, face painting. Free.
If you're quick, you can do both.

Double-check the details before you head out. Things change.
And send this to whoever's in charge of costumes in your house.

Your offer got accepted. Amazing. Now the clock starts.

Nobody really explains what happens in the next few days, so here it is. On a standard Ontario agreement the deposit is usually due within 24 hours. Then you've typically got a handful of days to do your homework: the inspection, the lender, an insurance quote, and the status certificate if it's a condo.

My two cents? Book the inspector the same day. The buyers who have everyone lined up before they even write the offer are the ones who sleep fine that week.

Every deal is a little different, so lean on your agent and your lawyer for the specifics.

Sell now or wait for spring? I get asked this every single October, so I put both sides in the slides.

The short version: fall means a lot less competition. Last December the whole GTA had 5,299 new listings. This May it was 17,698. Spring brings more buyers, but your home is also up against a lot more for sale signs.

What usually decides it is where you're going next. If you're buying too, you sell and buy in the same market. And if spring is the plan, the prep starts now, not in March.

Thinking about a move and want to talk it through? I'm around.

Quick one. If a vote back in 1967 had gone the other way, you'd be telling people you live in Sheridan.

This used to be Toronto Township, and when it was time to become a town it needed a new name. People sent in 889 different ideas. It came down to two on the ballot, and Mississauga won 11,796 to 4,311.

Sheridan wasn't random, by the way. It was a real little village around what's now Winston Churchill and the QEW, named after a British playwright back in 1857.

The name we ended up with comes from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Would you have voted Sheridan?

New listing in Clarkson, and it's a big one. 🏡

2375 Truscott Drive, Unit 1, Mississauga. Listed at $700,000.

It's an end-unit townhome with over 1,800 sq ft above grade, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but the part I'd point out first is the layout. You get two separate living spaces. There's a large living room right on the ground floor that could just as easily be a home office, a playroom or a gym. Then one level up, the family room, dining area and eat-in kitchen are all open to each other, with a breakfast bar and a walkout to the balcony.

Then there's the garage. Two cars, side by side, with a door straight into the house. If you've been looking at townhomes, you know that's a big deal.

The location's really handy too. You can walk to the community centre, the library, groceries and the bakery, the closest elementary school is less than 1 km away, and Clarkson GO and the QEW are just minutes from the door.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

I've got a lot to be thankful for this year, but high on the list are the people who trust me with a pretty big deal in their lives, and the ones who send their friends and family my way. That one never gets old.

Anyhow, go enjoy the turkey, the pie and whoever's around your table.

Long weekend's coming, and if you don't have plans yet, I've got you. 🍂

Four easy ones, all close to home:

1. Diwali RazzMatazz at Celebration Square, Friday to Sunday
2. The Georgetown Farmers' Market on Main Street, Saturday 8 to 12:30. Only two left this season, so this is your last-minute Thanksgiving dinner run.
3. The chairlift at Kelso for the fall colours. You do have to book the park visit online first, so don't just show up.
4. Springridge Farm in Milton for apples, c***r and pumpkins. Open daily 9 to 5.

Double-check the hours before you head out. Things change.

And if you know somebody who's still "figuring out the weekend", send them this. Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, September's numbers are out, and buyers pretty clearly took a breather.

Sales across the GTA: 5,040, down 9% from last September
New listings: 16,500, down 14.4%
Average price: $1,006,409, down 5.1%

So fewer people buying, fewer people listing, and prices a bit softer than a year ago. Whether that's good news or bad news depends on which side of the table you're sitting on, so I put both in the slides.

One thing I'll keep saying: these are averages for the whole GTA. Your street is its own little market and it can look pretty different.
