☀️Happy Summer Long Weekend!

Whether you're relaxing at the cottage, exploring your neighbourhood, or just soaking up the sunshine, here's to making the most of the extra day.
How are you spending your long weekend? ⛱️🍉🚤

Cool smarter, not harder 🌬️ Flip on the fan for a breezy summer home.

It’s still not easy, but there’s progress: housing affordability in Canada has improved for six straight quarters. Thanks to steady mortgage rates and strong wage growth, the cost to purchase a typical home has held flat over the past 3 months.

We’re now back to affordability levels last seen in late 2021, when home sales were 30% higher than they are today. That tells us there’s room for activity to pick up as confidence returns to the market.

Affordability challenges remain, but the worst may be behind us. As housing sentiment rebounds off April lows, we’re seeing the early signs that sales have bottomed, and that momentum could continue into the second half of 2025.

If you’ve been waiting, this could be your window to re-enter the market with a plan.

Cool down naturally! Blackout curtains are a game-changer this summer. 🖤🌡️

Eco-upgrade alert! 🚿 Save water and money with a simple showerhead switch.

After a slow start to the year, the Canadian housing market is showing signs of a turnaround. National home sales rose 3.6% in May, the strongest monthly gain since last October. Even better, Ontario led the charge with a 9.6% jump, signaling that some of the country’s hardest-hit markets may have finally bottomed out in Q1.

This momentum builds on an upward revision to April’s numbers, and while sales are still down year-over-year, the recent gains suggest we may be entering a more active summer season.

Buyers: This may be your cue to re-engage before conditions tighten.
Sellers: If you’ve been waiting for the market to show signs of life, this could be it.
