Is buying a cheaper home the best option for you?
In a tight seller’s market like we’re experiencing now in the GTA, clients are still looking (wishing, hoping) for bargains. And occasionally, there are incredible deals out there. The truth of it is, though, that prices are high, and supply is very limited. That doesn’t mean you should take whatever you can get, but it does mean that smart buying practices are more important than ever.
Do First Time Buyers Have it Easy?

Where you start in real estate is never where you end up
Ask anyone who has owned a home for a long time, or even multiple properties, and they’ll tell you this is true. Their property never looks the same now as it did when they bought it. Sometimes the changes were necessary, but even with buyers who move into a brand-new home, this is one thing I know for sure. The minute they are in it, they’ll start making changes.
Get Ready to Make Your Real Estate Dream Happen!
Happy New Year!
Have you been daydreaming of a big move? Maybe it’s buying your first home, or selling your big family home and downsizing to an easy-to-maintain condo. Or perhaps you’d just like a little pied-a-terre in the big city, or an investment property. Whatever it is, a dream without a plan is still just a dream. With a plan (and of course following through on that plan), you can make that dream a reality.
Should you list your property in winter?
A question I’m often asked by clients is, “when is the best time to list my property?” You may not have a choice, if you’ve been transferred to another city, your family has grown or changed, or you’ve already purchased another property. Otherwise, my answer is, “whenever you and your home are ready”.
