Hi Annie,

It’s less than a month until the holidays — and 2025, but the rest of December is packed with events.

Lace up and enjoy one of the season’s best activities. The Bentway is bringing back outdoor ice skating under the Gardiner for another winter of fun. And, if you’re looking for some tasty treats while embracing the holiday spirit, take a look at the food and drink on offer at this year’s Distillery winter market. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Toronto's real estate market is heating up! November sales surged 40% from last year, signaling lower interest rates are driving buyer activity as prices hold steady. December could bring surprises with a Bank of Canada rate announcement on the 11th and new mortgage rules on the 15th — typically a quiet month, but perhaps not this year!

Give me a call if you’re curious about what’s happening in your neighbourhood and if you know anyone who’s considering a move, please forward this email to them!

Wishing you and your loved ones all the best this holiday season,

Annie
