This one is basically dessert in a glass 🍌🍫

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday.
Today started because I was staring into my fridge looking at leftover evaporated milk from another recipe and thinking… now what?
So naturally, instead of baking, we made a cocktail 😅
Today’s experiment:
🍌 Banana
🍫 Chocolate
☕ Kahlua
🥃 Vodka (or banana-infused vodka if you’re feeling adventurous)
🥛 Evaporated milk
Creamy
chocolatey
with a little banana twist
And I have to admit… I was nervous about the banana liqueur. On its own? Not great 😂
In the cocktail though? Totally different story.
It actually tastes more like a banana dessert than a cocktail.
And yes… the Martha Stewart 100-shake workout made another appearance.
Cheers everybody 🥂

This week reminded me just how powerful pricing strategy really is.
This week reminded me just how powerful pricing strategy really is.
I came out of a meeting with my team this morning, and we were reviewing our inventory.
A couple of listings we brought to market recently sold very quickly — almost reminiscent of those fast-moving COVID days where the energy on a new listing was immediate.
But here’s the interesting part:
it had nothing to do with it being a seller’s market.
Because it’s not.
We are very much in a buyer-influenced market right now.
The difference was pricing.
Those sellers understood the market, priced strategically, and created momentum right from the start.
At the same time, I also have a couple of listings finally closing this week that have been sitting for many, many months.
And honestly?
There’s relief on all sides when those tougher properties finally come together.
Because some real estate relationships are quick and smooth…
and others require patience, coaching, adjustments, and endurance from everyone involved.
That’s the reality of this business.
But today just reinforced something I’ve said for a long time:
the market will often tell you the truth quickly — if you’re willing to listen to it.
And when strategy and motivation align?
Things move.
💬 Have you noticed how differently homes are performing right now depending on pricing?

Victoria Day weekend always feels like the unofficial start of summer to me.
Hope you had a chance to enjoy the long weekend ☀️
Victoria Day weekend always feels like the unofficial start of summer to me.
This past weekend we were fortunate with the weather.
Long walks with Blue along the water
golf with some girlfriends
time with friends around a garden barbecue
Simple things
but the things I look forward to all winter long.
This time of year has always been my favourite.
After months of winter coats, boots, and rushing from one place to another… I love getting back outside.
Fresh air
longer evenings
and enjoying being outdoors without all of the extra layers.
There’s just something about this season that shifts your energy a little.
Life feels lighter.
What was your favourite part of the long weekend?

“If the home feels right… everything else will fall into place.”
“If the home feels right… everything else will fall into place.”
It’s a common way to think.
And sometimes… it works.
But often, what shapes your experience
isn’t just the home…
It’s everything around it.
The pace of the neighbourhood
The way the mornings feel
The flow of the streets
How the area holds value over time
When you’re new to a market…
those details aren’t always obvious.
They come with time.
With experience.
With being there consistently.
It’s like a steady workout routine.
You’re not doing it for instant results…
you’re doing it because it supports how you feel every day.
Your energy
Your clarity
Your life
Where you live works the same way.
✅ The shift is simple.
Look beyond the home.
Start understanding the area…
how it supports your routine…
and how it fits your life long-term.
That’s where local guidance matters most.
Helping you see what isn’t immediately visible.

Victoria Day weekend needs a signature cocktail ☀️🍹
Victoria Day weekend needs a signature cocktail ☀️🍹
This week’s Thirsty Thursday is the Flytail Cocktail —
a citrusy, refreshing drink that Alex actually discovered in a movie.
And honestly?
It’s perfect for a sunny long weekend.
The fun part is you can make it your way —
some recipes call for vodka, others tequila.
We went with tequila for this one.
🍍 Pineapple juice
🍋 Lime
🌼 St-Germain elderflower liqueur
🥃 Tequila
✨ Splash of soda if you want it lighter
Fresh
citrusy
easy to make
and ideal for patio weather
It’s not sweet like last week’s Creamsicle cocktail…
but if you like something refreshing with a little kick, this is a great one to try.
And yes… the Martha Stewart “100 shakes” workout made another appearance 😂
Cheers everybody — and enjoy the long weekend ☀️

Niagara Housing Market Reflects Broader Economic Uncertainty
Niagara Region, ON – The current housing market reflects ongoing economic pressures.
Factors influencing activity include:
- Interest rates
- Cost of living increases
- Consumer confidence levels
Despite these pressures, stable mortgage rates and increased inventory are creating opportunities for qualified buyers.
Niagara Real Estate Market Update – May 13, 2026
Niagara Real Estate Market Update – May 13, 2026
The Niagara real estate market continues to move through a period of elevated inventory, steady listing activity, and measured buyer decision-making. The latest numbers from May 13, 2026, show that while homes are continuing to sell across the region, buyers are taking more time, comparing more options, and becoming increasingly selective depending on price point, location, and condition.
Across the Niagara Region, there are currently 2,765 active listings, with 331 new listings hitting the market over the past 7 days. During that same timeframe, 117 homes sold, while 523 properties sold over the past 30 days. The regional average days on market is currently 37 days, and the average sale price sits at $624,546.
These numbers continue to reflect a market with healthy inventory levels and ongoing activity, but one that is no longer moving at the rapid pace experienced during the peak market years. Buyers now have more opportunity to compare homes, negotiate terms, and move more cautiously through the purchasing process.
Fort Erie Market Snapshot
Fort Erie currently has 481 active listings and 54 new listings added over the last 7 days. There were 14 sales this past week and 53 sales over the past 30 days. The average days on market is 31 days, with an average sale price of $557,279.
The lower days on market compared to several surrounding municipalities suggests that well-positioned homes in Fort Erie are continuing to attract buyer attention. Pricing strategy and presentation remain important factors in this market, especially with inventory levels remaining elevated.
Fort Erie continues to attract a mix of local buyers, retirees, downsizers, and those looking for more affordability relative to larger urban centres. Lifestyle factors such as proximity to the waterfront, trails, green space, and access to the Peace Bridge continue to support long-term interest in the area.
Niagara Falls and St. Catharines
In Niagara Falls, there are currently 475 active listings and 57 new listings over the past week. The city recorded 19 sales in the last 7 days and 99 sales over the past 30 days. The average days on market is 26 days, with an average sale price of $571,342.

Meanwhile, St. Catharines currently has 409 active listings and 64 new listings. The city recorded 26 sales over the last 7 days and 124 sales over the last 30 days, the highest 30-day sales volume in the region. The average days on market is 36 days, and the average sale price is $593,019.
The St. Catharines market continues to show strong overall activity levels, supported by its size, amenities, schools, and central location within Niagara Region.
Port Colborne, Pelham, and Lincoln
The Port Colborne/Wainfleet market currently shows 232 active listings with 29 new listings over the past week. There were 9 sales in the last 7 days and 28 sales over the past 30 days. The average days on market is 26 days, while the average sale price is $678,333.

Final Thoughts
The May 2026 Niagara market continues to show balanced but competitive conditions depending on the municipality, price point, and property type. Inventory levels remain elevated across most areas, giving buyers more choice than they have had in recent years. At the same time, homes are still selling consistently when priced appropriately for current market conditions.
The variation in average days on market between municipalities also highlights the importance of understanding local market dynamics rather than relying solely on regional headlines. Each community across Niagara continues to move at its own pace, influenced by inventory levels, buyer demand, and price range activity.
For buyers and sellers alike, understanding these local trends remains an important part of making informed real estate decisions in today’s market.
