Oshawa Fears expressed at the last Board of Education meeting that Oshawa may become a "dormitory town" may have some basis according to Osh- awa real estate men. President of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board, Harold Segal, said, "A large number of homes are being sold to out of town people -- this is an increasing trend'. He said Oshawa realtors were advertising in Toronto with a great deal of success. Houses were sold for about $6,000 less in Oshawa than in Toronto, a difference which is mainly due to lower land values in Oshawa. The phrase 'dormitory town" applies to Oshawa because many of the newcomers work, eat, shop and are entertained led by the association. Housing Proving Popular in Toronto and only come to Oshawa to sleep. Harry Millen, of Millen Real Estate, said at least 25 per cent of his company's sales were to Torontonians., "TREMENDOUS" ' "It's tremendous," he said. "More houses are being sold now than ever before. The out of town buyers are definitely helping sales." Mr. Millen said the trend started before the GO train came but it was about the time it was confirmed there would be a GO train. A spokesman for Griffin Real bestate said, '"'We have done all the research and probing into this market. Why should we turn around and tell al! the others how well we are doing?" Deputy assessment officer Morley Parfeniuk had no statistics on the number of out- of-town home buyers but felt, from what he had heard and seen, between 25 and 50 per cent were from Toronto. "For example," he said, "'in the new development west of the shopping centre, there is a steady stream of traffic going west at 6:30 a.m. every day. I would say the majority of these people, and the ones in Forest Glen on Harmony Road North, are commuting to Toronto." TWO EFFECTS The influx of the Toronto commuter is having two _ ef- fects, according to Mr. Par- feniuk. First, the popularity of semi-detached homes is rising. "Previously these were risky to put on the market but now (Kim Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins.

"Despite the uneasiness of the General Motors situation, people are demanding and get- ting a good price. Many people don't mind travelling an extra 15 minutes to and from work when they can save $6,000," he Said. Asked if this trend was good or bad for Oshawa, he -said, "The more people and growth you get, the better your com- munity stands in the eyes of other communities."
