🎉 Foodie Friday Stop: Social Graces Café ☕🍰

2 weeks ago, after a busy caravan tour, I made a quick stop at Social Graces—and let’s just say, I didn’t leave empty-handed! Picked up a few delicious bites to take home and show some love to one of our amazing local businesses right here in Fort Erie.

✅ Great food
✅ Cozy vibe
✅ Locally owned

Let’s keep supporting our small business community—it’s one of the things that makes Fort Erie feel like home.

📲 Have a local spot I should try next Friday? Let me know in the comments or text me at 905-329-2854!

🏡 Your Listing Isn’t Selling? Here’s Why…

Sellers across Fort Erie and Niagara are feeling stuck—and here’s what we’re seeing:
❗ Inventory is high. You’re competing with 3,248 listings across Niagara.
❗ Buyers are cautious. Even well-priced homes are getting second-guessed.
❗ Overpricing is killing momentum. Homes not aligned with current value? They’re sitting.

💬 We’re in a market where strategy matters more than ever. Staging, pricing, exposure—it all has to be dialed in to attract today’s buyer.

📈 Opportunity is knocking for Fort Erie buyers — are you ready to answer?

 

📈 Opportunity is knocking for Fort Erie buyers — are you ready to answer?

Here’s why the current market could work in your favour:

1️⃣ More Choice, Less Pressure – With 502 homes for sale and just 57 sold in the last 30 days, we’re in a true buyer’s market. That means you set the pace — not the other way around.

2️⃣ Room to Negotiate – Prices have softened, and with homes staying on the market longer, there’s often space to make a deal that works for you.

3️⃣ Smart Timing > Perfect Timing – Trying to time the exact bottom? It rarely works. The best time to buy is when the right property, price, and terms align for your life — not the headlines.

🔎 Pro Tip: The best deals don’t wait around. By the time the market shifts, the windows of opportunity are already closing.

💬 Curious about what this means for your price point or neighbourhood? Let’s connect and build a custom buyer game plan that matches your goals.

📲 DM me or text me directly. Let’s get you confidently back in the game.

😲 4 Weeks. 15 Homes SOLD. Is Fort Erie Heating Up?

After months of hesitation, buyers are finally stepping in—but only for homes that are priced right.
➡️ Fort Erie home sales have jumped from 7 to 15 over the past 4 weeks. That’s a clear signal: buyer activity is growing, but they’re still conservative.
Overpriced listings are sitting. Aggressively priced homes? They’re moving fast.

📉 Inventory remains high—479 active listings in Fort Erie alone.

🧠 What will it take to turn this market around?

 

🧠 What will it take to turn this market around?

Here’s what buyers, sellers, and speculators need to understand:

🔻 Sellers’ Pain Points:
• Long days on market
• More competition = price pressure
• Stale listings without the right strategy

🔻 Buyers’ Pain Points:
• Uncertainty around rates
• Fear of overpaying
• Waiting for “the bottom” (but missing opportunities)

🔻 Speculators & Investors:
• Holding assets too long without ROI
• Hesitating to list or buy in an unsteady market
• Watching demand soften without adjusting

What’s needed?
📌 Interest rate movement
📌 Buyer confidence
📌 Strategic pricing + realistic expectations

📍 Fort Erie vs Niagara… Who’s selling faster?

📍 Fort Erie vs Niagara… Who’s selling faster?
It’s a Days on Market (DOM) showdown — and Fort Erie is trailing longer compared to the regional average.

Why?
📉 Higher inventory
👀 Less buyer urgency
💰 Misaligned pricing strategies

Fort Erie listings are sitting longer, which means sellers here need to step up their game. It’s not enough to list — your home needs to stand out through:
✅ Great visuals
✅ Competitive pricing
✅ Strong launch strategy and exposure
