Ahhh 2020.....how you taunt me! #unsatisfying

Aligning with the winter solstice this year on December 21st, 2020, the two planets will be the closest since 1623. However, this will be the closest that’s actually observable for us on Earth since medieval times back in 1226! Some experts say it may look like an elongated star and I’m hoping this is a sign of brighter things to come as we near the end of a bit of a crazy year! You’ll want to look low in the southwestern sky on that evening of December 21st just after sunset. Unlike stars, which twinkle, both planets will hold consistent brightness and should be easy to find in the sky. #starsallign #wintersolstice

Check out our latest blog for price gains across every neighbourhood in Burlington, Oakville & Hamilton.

Tis’ the season! Was everyone else as excited as I was to wake up to snow on the 1st? Makes me want to cozy up next to the tree with a hot chocolate (ofcourse there’s no Baileys in there ) Here’s the local market update for last month. Days on market are low across the board due to very low inventory and all areas are showing over 20% price gains against last Nov! Crazy ... Interestingly since just last month the average sold price in Burlington has increased by a whopping $50k but in Oakville has gone down almost the same amount! We typically see a seasonal slowing of the market through a normal winter but we definitely aren’t seeing that yet with listings still receiving upwards of 10 offers in some cases! Are you hoping to move home in 2021? If you want to chat about your best options, send me a DM or give me a call!
