Real Estate features Understanding Timing: What Five-Year Appreciation Reveals for Today’s Buyers In our weekly office meeting today, Eugene, our office manager, shared an important insight worth passing along. We reviewed homeowners who purchased at the peak of the market when interest rates were still low. We then amortized those purchases and examined the five-year appreciation on an average-priced home. The appreciation was significant. It served as […]
Real Estate features Carbon Monoxide Rules — What Ontario Homeowners Need to Know in 2026 As of January 1, 2026, Ontario has expanded carbon monoxide alarm requirements under the Fire Code. These changes apply to homeowners, landlords, tenants, and condo owners. CO alarms are now required on every storey of a home, not just near bedrooms, if fuel-burning equipment, fireplaces, or attached garages are present. The goal is earlier detection […]
Uncategorized ❄️ Why do sellers pause in winter… when buyers don’t? ❄️ Why do sellers pause in winter… when buyers don’t? As you can see from the pile of donations behind me in this reel, I was helping prepare a home for market today, and the question came up: “Should we just wait until spring?” It’s a common thought. Winter feels slower — but slower doesn’t […]

Real Estate features How Long Do People Actually Stay in Their Homes? Many homeowners worry they are “behind” if they haven’t moved within five years. In reality, Ontario averages tell a different story. Outside of Toronto, homeowners typically stay between 8 and 12.5 years before selling. This longer timeline reflects affordability pressures, borrowing costs, and inventory levels. It also reinforces the idea that real estate is a […]
Real Estate features Selling Too Soon — The Hidden Cost of Short-Term Decisions In a depreciating or flat market, the cost of selling too soon becomes more visible. Buyers often assume equity equals profit, but transaction costs, mortgage insurance, and higher interest rates can quickly erase gains. The Niagara example of a 2022 purchase followed by a 2025 sale highlights this risk. Despite making mortgage payments for three […]
Real Estate features The 5-Year Rule — Why Time Matters More Than Timing Financial professionals often reference the “5-year rule” when discussing real estate, and for good reason. In Niagara, history shows that homeowners who remain in their property for at least five years tend to recover transaction costs and build meaningful equity. Equity grows in two ways: mortgage principal reduction and market appreciation. Even during periods of […]

Real Estate features Mortgage Rates in Context — What Matters More Than the Number Mortgage rates often dominate real estate conversations, especially at the start of a new year. Buyers fixate on rate drops. Sellers worry higher rates will stop activity altogether. But in reality, rates are only one part of the decision-making framework. As we enter 2026, borrowing costs in Canada have stabilized compared to the volatility of […]
Uncategorized Classic Negroni Cocktail | A Bold, Stiff Drink for Martini Lovers | Thirsty Thursday This one’s not subtle.  And it’s definitely not a cosmo. With Alex and Adam driving home after a long ski trip, I figured this was the right moment for a proper martini-drinker’s cocktail. A Negroni. Strong. Balanced. And unapologetic. Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth — that’s it. No fluff. No shortcuts. I saw Stanley Tucci make one and […]

Not because you’re doing something wrong… but because you’re trying to hold too many decisions at once. Pricing. Showings. Feedback. Deadlines. All overlapping. When nothing is finalized, every choice feels urgent. That’s when the fog sets in. On my walks with Blue, it’s simple. […]
