Is December a good time to sell my house? The summer seems long behind us now, and the weather is growing colder every day. We are all getting ready for the winter months, putting away the lawn furniture, servicing the snow blowers and getting out the winter coats. I don’t mind winter; I love the idea a snowstorm and a roaring fire. But I dislike shoveling that snow and my soaring heat bill! I often...

My favorite time of year is upon us! I know it sounds a little cliché – everyone says they love the fall season. For almost everyone I talk to it’s usually the obvious reasons; kids are back to school, brilliant colours, cooler weather, fall fairs and family gatherings. (although some of these will be different this year thanks to COVID!). I also love the fall season because it feels like a...
What does the future look like for buyers and sellers? After many attempts to write my bi-monthly newsletter; here it is. I’m not sure why I had such a hard time; but there is a lot happening, adapting to this ‘new normal’. Wondering what will be in-store for parents and kids come September, and the economy – there are many different theories on how all of this will affect the housing...
Buying and Selling During These Uncertain Times. WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR YOU? While real estate services have been deemed essential – it is not business as usual. Like all Canadians, I have been putting safety first, both for my clients and myself. All of my in-person showings and appointments are being conducted with social distancing rules in place, Lysol wipes, hand sanitizing and plenty of hand...
Moving can be stressfull, even if your move is by choice. There is so much to do in a small amount of time - even if you felt like you had all the time in the world initially. Add children to the mix and you may have just doubled the stress! Keep in mind they will be under stress too, a new home, maybe a new town/school. Just like us, kids worry and fret about change.
