🚨 BIG decision from the Bank of Canada… but did it move the market?

The Bank of Canada just held rates steady 📉
Here’s what that means:
✅ Rates remain elevated
✅ Buyers still cautious
✅ Sellers feeling the pressure
✅ No immediate relief for affordability
✅ Stability might bring buyer confidence back 🔄

 Before we list — we PREP.

In today’s market, buyers are extremely price sensitive.
They don’t want to purchase a home and immediately have to:
 Replace a furnace
 Install new A/C
 Reshingle the roof
 Upgrade the electrical panel

 Affordability is tighter than ever, and buyers want move-in-ready.

That’s why when I walk through a home before listing, I’m looking for anything that could become a negotiation point later — and we handle it upfront:

 Fix it now
 Or price it accordingly
 Or disclose with full cost-to-cure info

The more we prepare, the stronger the offer we attract.

 Thinking of listing? DM me — I’ll show you exactly how we prep your home for today’s market.

🧠 Wisdom Wednesday: The most important work happens BEFORE the sign goes on the lawn.

In today’s market, I spend more time upfront with my clients — because understanding the market before we list is critical.

📊 Why?

• Inventory levels are high 📈
• Buyers have multiple options
• Price sensitivity is stronger than ever
• Overpricing = longer days on market and eventual reductions

✅ When sellers fully understand what’s happening right now, we price right from day one — and that creates activity, showings, and real offers.

💡 Knowledge is power — and that’s what helps my sellers succeed.
