Behind the Business Mortgage Renewals to Watch in 2026 In our meeting today, mortgage specialists shared that approximately 60% of all Canadian mortgages are coming up for renewal in 2026. What makes this notable is that homeowner situations will vary depending on when they purchased over the past five years. Some homeowners may face affordability challenges, while others will have built significant equity. Either […]
Uncategorized Ever start with a spotless kitchen… and decide to mess it up on purpose? 🧈 Ever start with a spotless kitchen… and decide to mess it up on purpose? 🧈 That was me here — trying homemade butter for the very first time. No recipe confidence. No idea how messy it would get. Just curiosity and a mixer. Whipping cream turned into whipped cream… then stayed there longer than expected. […]
Uncategorized 📉 Why fewer buyers doesn’t mean less opportunity 📉 Why fewer buyers doesn’t mean less opportunity Many sellers assume spring is better simply because there are more buyers. What often gets missed is that spring also brings more listings. More listings mean more comparisons. More comparisons mean slower decisions. And more negotiating power shifts to buyers. When everything is competing at once, attention […]
Behind the Business Weekend Open House Activity and Buyer Trends Just wanted to highlight the activity I saw with my listings this weekend. I held four open houses and it was interesting to compare the level of traffic between lower price point properties and higher price point homes. The lower price ranges saw noticeably more buyer activity. It was good to see buyers out and […]
Behind the Business Market Shifts Worth Noting in Fort Erie Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed increased activity at the higher end of the market, with more properties receiving offers. Another trend emerging is that listings that have been on the market for extended periods are beginning to sell. In conditions like these, longer days on market are something we need to expect. With […]
Behind the Business When Compassion Shapes a Closing I wanted to share an experience from one of my closings last week. The seller was feeling overwhelmed, living in a retirement home, and relying heavily on family members to help clear the property before closing. This situation became a good example of how cooperation between agents—and compassion from buyers—can make a meaningful difference when […]

Uncategorized The Fox Shop + Koko & Jinx   Do you ever set out to do one thing… and the day unfolds into something else entirely? I was down on Jarvis Street last week doing some business and thought I’d pop into The Fox Shop to say hello and grab a bowl of soup. Simple plan. Before I knew it, I was sitting […]

Real Estate features Strategy Over Speed — How 2026 Rewards Thoughtful Moves The defining feature of today’s market is not fear — it’s discernment. Buyers take time. Sellers need clarity. Fast decisions are no longer rewarded the way they once were. This environment favours those who understand timing, value, and positioning. It penalizes rushed decisions and emotional pricing. 2026 is shaping up to be a year where […]
Uncategorized This one’s unapologetically my way. 🍸 This one’s unapologetically my way.  A Black Pepper Olive Oil Gin Martini — no olives, no brine, no dirty martini energy. I love olive oil. I love gin. I don’t love olive brine. So this version keeps what I enjoy and leaves the rest behind. Peppery. Smooth. A little bold. And perfect for winter evenings when martinis just […]
Real Estate features Why Inventory Changes Everything Increased inventory gives buyers options and sellers competition. This shift changes how homes are priced, marketed, and negotiated. Well-positioned properties still sell. Overpriced or poorly prepared homes linger. This isn’t punishment — it’s feedback. Understanding inventory dynamics allows homeowners to set expectations and buyers to act strategically. Both sides benefit from information rather than assumptions. […]

My son’s girlfriend kept nudging me — and I kept finding reasons to stay home. But this week, I found a morning class… and […]
Real Estate features Fort Erie Market Snapshot — What the Numbers Are Really Saying Market data often feels overwhelming, but trends become clearer when viewed calmly. In Fort Erie, sales volume through December 2025 remained stable year-over-year, while prices adjusted modestly. This tells an important story. The market isn’t collapsing — it’s recalibrating. Buyers are selective. Sellers must be realistic. Inventory levels matter more than speed. Fort Erie continues […]
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 From Farmhouse to Bungalow: A Busy Fort Erie Weekend Good morning! I had a busy weekend –  I hosted two open houses this weekend — one at 5930 Michener Road, which was busy from start to finish. People are always curious about this listing; it’s a gorgeous century farmhouse and definitely draws attention. On Sunday, I also hosted an open house at one of […]
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 […]
