Hi you!

Every week, I am breaking down the real issues clients are facing in this market—so we can work through them together. Let’s talk about what’s really happening in Fort Erie and Niagara:

🔻 SELLERS – 3 Real Pain Points You’re Facing:

1️⃣ Sitting Inventory: If you’re listed, chances are you’re not seeing steady traffic unless your pricing, staging, and marketing are razor-sharp.
2️⃣ Stale Pricing: Still priced for Q1? This is Q2. If you haven’t adjusted, you’re likely facing long days on market and hard conversations ahead.
3️⃣ Buyer Hesitation: Even if you’re priced right, today’s buyer has options and time. Expect fewer showings and longer decision windows.

🔺 BUYERS – 3 Challenges You’re Dealing With:

1️⃣ Too Much Inventory, Not Enough Quality: There’s a lot out there—but not all of it is worth your time or money.
2️⃣ Fear of Overpaying: With values softening, buyers are cautious and waiting for more signs of stability.
3️⃣ Rate Uncertainty: Even with the Bank of Canada pause, many are unsure if now’s the right time to jump in.

💬 Let’s talk solutions. Whether you’re buying, selling, or stuck in between—I’ve got the strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Watch out for next week’s entry on this series!

💬 “If we could give her 1000 stars, we would.”

I’m truly honoured by these kind words from K & R Ryder. After buying and selling 14 homes, they’ve worked with many agents — and I’m so grateful they trusted me with their journey here in Fort Erie.

“Barbara is bar none THE BEST agent you could EVER use. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I’ve bought & sold 14 homes and no real estate agent has ever come close. We are in awe of her… absolutely AMAZING service. If we could give her 1000 stars, we would!”

Helping good people through big life moments is why I do this work. Thank you, K & R, for letting me be a part of yours.

 God Moment 
Every time I leave or return home, I see these planters — bright, colourful, and full of life. I care for them daily, and in return, they bring me joy.

Just a reminder: when you consistently pour care and attention into something — no matter how small — it grows and gives back.

I hope you’re doing well and having a peaceful day.

 It’s official — summer is here, and Blue is leading the charge!

This past weekend, Alex, Blue, and I kicked off the season the best way we know how: feet (and paws) in the water, sun shining, and not a single screen in sight. Watching Blue run through the shallows, chase ripples, and claim his spot in the shade was the perfect reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple moments.

 Splashing
 Stick fetching
 Sun soaking
 Pure joy

If you’re dreaming of more weekends like this — by the water, surrounded by peace and play — there’s still time to grab your own piece of lakefront. This is the lifestyle that makes Fort Erie feel like a getaway… every single day.

 Follow for more lifestyle + real estate around Fort Erie — and a few cameos from Blue along the way.

🍝 Foodie Friday in Fort Erie: Amalfi’s Edition 🇮🇹

This week’s stop? Amalfi’s Trattoria — a hidden gem serving up rich Italian flavours right here in the heart of Fort Erie.

Alex, a few friends, and I popped in for a night out — and it was the kind of experience that reminds you why supporting local matters.
Warm hospitality, a cozy atmosphere, and dishes that speak for themselves.

✨ What we tried:
✅ Fresh pasta that tasted like Nonna made it
✅ That perfect red sauce (you know the one)
✅ Crusty bread, great wine, and conversation that just kept going

If you haven’t visited Amalfi’s yet — make a reservation, go hungry, and let them do the rest.
These are the kinds of spots that make life in Fort Erie feel personal, connected, and just a little tastier.

📍 One of the best perks of living here is discovering places like this.
Let’s keep showing up for the locals who put their heart into what they do.

👇 Drop your favourite Fort Erie food spot below — maybe I’ll feature it next!
