We might be in the shortest month of the year, but the city is brimming with exciting upcoming events. One in particular to keep watch for is Sugar Shack TO... maple syrup enthusiasts unite!! And, if you’re a night owl, the city has got you covered with some fantastic 24-hour dining options.

The Bank of Canada chose to hold interest rates steady at the end of January, but even without a rate decrease, we're seeing more activity in the market, including a return to multiple offers because there are so few properties on the market. If you are considering making a move this year, now is the time to get started!

As always, I thank you for your past and future business...and any referrals of friends or family you may have are greatly appreciated!

There’s a lot of talk about what’s happening with housing in Toronto and the real estate market in general, so here is my take on the property tax increase, TRESA, and interest rates.

The best 24-hour restaurants in Toronto support you and your cravings, no matter the time of day. With menus that call to bar hoppers and shift workers, night owls and people who just need a decent midday meal, these spots are ready to serve when you're ready to eat.

Sugar Shack TO: March 9 & 10

At Sugar Shack, indulge in Ontario maple taffy, complemented by maple-infused comfort treats like Redpath Sugar cookies. Engage in a Winter Circus Lumberjack show, warm up at the Billy Bishop Airport station, and learn the art of maple sugaring, while exploring electric vehicles for a chance to score Toronto Maple Leafs tickets.

Unique, funky, and bold patterns are having a big moment in interiors. Many designers are saying goodbye to stark minimalism and reverting to retro, citing toile, embroidery, and florals as patterns they're looking forward to using in 2024. Here are some trends to look forward to.

There were 4,223 sales reported through TRREB’s MLS® System in January 2024 – an increase of more than one-third compared to January 2023. The number of new listings was also up year-over-year but by a lesser annual rate of approximately six per cent. Stronger sales growth relative to listings suggests buyers experienced tighter market conditions compared to a year ago.
