I love this time of year…
The snow is melting, warmer weather is coming, my daughter is already wearing her sandals to school 🤦♂️
SPRING feels like it’s almost here!
I know, I know…we can have things change on a dime and we can even get another blizzard, but this is the time of year when we can protest winter by leaving the snow shovels in the garage and let the warm weather melt the driveways. Let’s enjoy these warmer sunnier days and pretend it’s summer already!

2023 Market Update
Going in the right direction 📈
Much like we talked about last month, we are trending in the right direction. If we take a look at the indicators in our market (sales, pricing and months of inventory), these things are telling us a story.
Last year was bananas. Pricing shot up basically one year ago with pent up demand and a frenzy to buy homes as the interest rates rose. The back part of last year was slow with things coming back to earth from a meteoric rise.
Now, we are seeing our sales increase (up 31% month over month), price move up (single family homes are up nearly 2% month over month), and months of inventory drop by nearly a full month (from 5.2 to 4.4).
I believe we are in for a strong and steady spring market with the influx of people moving here (as it’s one of the most affordable cities in Canada), better news with interest rates, and warmer weather.
Get ready for the spring!
