💨 Gone.

Here’s your Tuesday Tip from the field 👇
This week, I’m repositioning several of my listings for motivated sellers — and we’re not alone.
📉 In the past 7 days:
- 2,646 price reductions in TRREB (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)
- 200 in the Niagara Region
- 32 in Fort Erie alone
What’s behind it?
→ 10 months of inventory in Fort Erie.
→ Fewer active buyers.
→ A highly price-sensitive market.
🔥 The homes that are getting showings are the ones priced right.
So if you’re listed — or planning to be — the price needs to work for today’s market, not last year’s.
📲 Want to talk strategy? Text me for a pricing review that’s grounded in reality, not guesswork.

🌅 This morning, I was walking near the lake and thinking… who’s going to be the lucky buyer for this beachside listing?
It’s literally steps from the water — the kind of place where your morning routine includes lake breezes, shoreline walks, and coffee with a view.
🎯 Who’s it for?
✅ A buyer who values lifestyle just as much as location
✅ Someone ready to escape the busy pace and embrace waterfront calm
✅ A couple looking for weekend mornings by the lake
✅ Or a smart investor who knows beachfront rarely lasts long
📍This Fort Erie gem is right next to the beach — and it’s waiting for the right match.

📊 There are 10 months of inventory in the Fort Erie market right now.
That means:
– Homes are sitting longer
– Buyers have options
– Sellers are more flexible
A balanced market is around 5 months.
We’ve doubled that — which gives buyers leverage they haven’t seen in years.

Seasonality plays a big role in real estate — and when the skies stay grey, so do the listings.
Here’s what we’re seeing right now:
📉 Just 7 sales in the last 7 days — that’s 1 per day
💲 Average price is hovering around $575,000
☔ Unsettled weather is keeping casual buyers at home
⏳ Serious buyers are watching… but waiting for the right move
In Fort Erie, warmer weather typically brings more listings, more showings, and more sales — but this year, the pace is still sluggish.
