Behind the Business From Europe to Niagara: A New Appreciation for Character Homes Last week I was away. I left the Niagara Region in crisp cold air and layered snow… and returned to fog and rain. As most of us know, that kind of weather is not ideal for showings. Snow tends to highlight a home’s structure and setting. Rain can make everything feel heavier. While I was […]

Behind the Business Winter on the Lake: Fort Erie Living at the End of January The end of January has arrived with heavy snowfall and extended cold, a familiar pattern for those of us living along Lake Erie and throughout Fort Erie and the Niagara Region. Lake-effect snow, shifting winds, and colder temperatures are part of winter life here, especially in waterfront and lakeside communities. What’s notable this year is that, despite the […]

Behind the Business Buyer Confidence Returns as Inventory Gaps Emerge With interest rates stabilizing and prices down significantly from 2024, consumer confidence is starting to return and buyers are beginning to move forward in the marketplace. One challenge I am seeing is uneven inventory across price points. There is limited supply in the $650,000 to $725,000 range, as well as between $750,000 and $800,000. While […]
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 […]

With […]
