I personally cannot keep a plant alive (I either over water or under-water lol), so I love the images of flowers and plants in these frames to give the room more life.

Quick market update: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sales rose in the GTA by 84% on a seasonally adjusted basis in June from May according to TRREB. Compared to the same month last year, sales were down just 1.4%. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that July is coming to an end, we will soon have a better picture of sales activity heading into the rest of the summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have a great weekend everyone!

After COVID put a freeze on the housing market for a few months, the market has been on fire this summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If home ownership was part of your plan for 2020 before the lockdown, it still can be! There are a lot of opportunities in the market right now if you know where to look 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sunday mornings are my favourite part of the week 🛏☕️ I spent this morning with coffee in bed + planning out my week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This afternoon I am doing showings of downtown condos. How is everyone spending their Sunday?

Happy Monday everyone!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have some exciting things planned for this week! They (whoever they are) say that how you spend your Monday sets the tone for your week. Today I woke up earlier than usual, accomplished most of my ‘to-do’ list by noon, and got tortured by @fitwithtrys 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hoping to keep this momentum up all week. How is everyone starting their week?

I have been a little inconsistent with my posts in

I have been a little inconsistent with my posts in the last few weeks. To be honest, with everything going on in the world, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and posting real estate related content felt disingenuous. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes stepping back from social media is necessary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With that being said, I am so happy to see sales rebounding in the last few weeks. Sales are down only 1.4% from this time last year. Showings & offers are almost back up to pre-COVID levels, and sales are also up 33.9% since this time last month. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re sitting on the sidelines, now is a good time to come back into the market before competition becomes more fierce. I have seen multiple offers on most of the properties I have shown in the last couple of weeks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I hope everyone has a great day & enjoys the beautiful weather today ☀️

The real estate market is starting to bounce back

The real estate market is starting to bounce back 💰🏠 Showings are up 84.8% since this time last month, offers are up 117%, new MLS listings are up 54.8%, and solds are up 103%. Since last week, sales are up 9.3%. The warm weather + the loosening of COVID-19 restrictions has brought buyers off of the sidelines and into the market. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The frequency of multiple offer battles has slowed down due to COVID-19, but the numbers indicate that may not be for long 👀

The real estate industry played (and continues to

The real estate industry played (and continues to play) a principal role in the oppression of the Black community (and others). Restrictive covenants have historically limited the freedoms of Black Canadians, and imposed second-class citizenship on these communities. These restrictions not only limited access to healthcare, education, employment, etc., but also inhibited Black families from creating generational wealth.

Institutionalized racism can be defined as the sys

Institutionalized racism can be defined as the systemic distribution of resources, power, and opportunity in society to benefit people who are white and exclude people of colour. Systemic policies and practices that disadvantage certain racial or ethnic groups distinguish institutionalized racism from overt forms of racism. This form of racism can only exist where the power to enforce these policies lies with white people. Bank lending policies and housing contracts have historically been used to oppress the black community, and continue to this day. There is a reason cities are segregated. Real estate is one of the most critical tools for wealth building and financial well-being, and through systemic racism, real estate was/is used to oppress the black community.
It is also important to note how racial biases play a role in a black persons dealings with landlords & real estate agents.
