March 2021 Stats are in! Let’s chat about what this means! DM or Text me to book a time! March completed the GTA’s 2021 Q1 real estate story with results consistent with January and February record sales numbers, price appreciation and market pace. Comparing March 2021 numbers with the same month last year is, of course, somewhat problematic given COVID-19’s market-halting impact mid-March 2020. Looking at the activity for the quarter, the story has solidly been about inven...tory and pace of sales. February 2021 reported a record fast absorption rate of only 3.5 weeks of inventory in the GTA. Despite a 57% increase in new listings coming on market, March 2021’s absorption was even faster. With an average of 3,612 units selling per week, there was less than 3 weeks of available inventory. Add on a five-year Days On Market low of 10 DOM, and the speed of the market has never been faster. Finally, a quick word on Condos. Anyone looking for a bargain, won’t find it in the GTA. The very brief softening of condo prices in Toronto has passed and with sales activity surpassing even that of March 2017 the previous high watermark for the month it’s fair to anticipate renewed price acceleration for condos in the months ahead. #GTARealEstate #TorontoRealEstate #MarketStats

Nobody enjoys failure, however, the fear of failure can be so strong that avoiding it actually ends up obstructing our motivation to succeed. Insecurity about doing things incorrectly causes many people to unconsciously sabotage their chances for success. But the simple truth is no great success was ever achieved without failure. Being successful is the willingness to identify and overcome every obstacle in order to achieve our goals, including failing e...very once in a while. Whether we like it or not, failure is a necessary stepping stone to achieving our dreams. Don't avoid it failure has far too much to teach us. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. - Robert F. Kennedy

So you're starting your house hunting journey. You've set your budget, gotten a pre-approval, and discussed your wants and needs, now it's time for the fun part - going to see the homes you've narrowed down! However, the universal truth of home buying is that you will never find a house that has single thing you want. So, when walking through the homes, focus on your list of needs, and specifically on the . This would include the location, yard s...ize, the view, square footage of the home, etc. Don't worry about the paint colour, and who cares if the house has horrible brass fixtures and ugly carpet? You can change those things in a couple of days, and without a huge investment. Look beyond the surface, and even the dated kitchen, to see the hidden potential of a home, and you might just check off all of your "must have" items! See more

? There’s no denying it - the process of buying a home is complex and can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers, but it can also be fun and exciting, and a deeply emotional milestone. If you are curious about the process, let me break it down for you:... : & - The first step is to review your finances and obtain a financial pre-approval.
