Thanks for stopping by!
We've been getting this a lot lately
With rates still elevated and plenty of noise in the headlines, it's natural to wonder if the window has closed.
Here's the honest answer: it depends on how you approach it.
Let's look at what the data actually shows:
š The spring market showed up a little late. According to CREA's report released this week, May activity left little doubt that momentum is building. Sales jumped 5.5% month-over-month and the national sales-to-new-listings ratio tightened to 49.2%, meaning demand is outpacing new supply coming onto the market.
š Prices are stabilizing. The national average sale price sits at $695,412, up 2.2% from a year ago. We're not in a frenzy, but we're also not in a freefall.
š Rates are the lowest they've been in years. The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate at 2.25%, and 5-year fixed mortgage rates are starting as low as 4.09%. That's meaningfully improving what buyers can qualify for.
So what does this mean if you're thinking about selling?
This market rewards sellers who are strategic. Homes that are priced right, presented well, and launched at the right moment are still selling. Homes that arenāt are sitting, and in a balanced market, sitting costs you.
If you've been on the fence, now is a smart time to at least understand what your home is worth and what a well-executed sale would look like.
Talk soon,

Sell first or buy first?
Buying your next home while selling your current one sounds straightforward until you start looking at the order of everything.
š Sell first, and you may have more clarity before you start the buying process.
š Buy first, and you may have more breathing room to choose the right next home.
š Try to do both at once, and the timing matters a lot.
There isnāt one answer that works for every move, which is why it helps to understand the options before youāre in the middle of it.
This weekās post covers what to know before deciding which direction makes sense.
