State of Emergency in Ontario As of 12:01am today, January 14th, 2021 a new COVID-19 State of Emergency goes into effect for Ontario - so what does that mean for Real Estate? Real Estate continues to be an essential service and open houses remain prohibited. Urgently needed in-person showings are permitted but MUST be scheduled in advance.... The State of Emergency impacts real estate in two ways: 1. Short-term rentals for recreational purposes are effectively closed as of January 12, 2021. If a booking was made prior to January 12 it is permitted to go forward. 2. Renovations started before January 12 will be permitted to continue but those that have not started are not permitted to start. The government has not indicated when the new measures will be lifted. Keeping everyone safe while helping you with your real estate needs is more important now than ever, and with the use of electronic communication (Zoom calls, emails, text), digital documentation (electronic signatures & documents) & digital tools (virtual showings and open houses) I can safely do so. Please stay safe and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

RE/MAX Canada published it's Housing Market Outlook for 2021 and it may surprise you a bit. It's expected that the average residential sale price in Canada will increase 4% - 6% this year, while Ontario is expected to see average increases of 7% - 12%. Hamilton-Burlington's average is expected to be 7%, while Mississauga's is 4% and Windsor is 15%-20%! I've posted an overview of the report and links to all the major regions in Ontario on my site www.alekscirjak.com if you'd like to read more - or you can always reach out with any questions!
