December always feels like Toronto is in “full-festive mode” - shorter days, twinkling lights, and calendars filling up. Between client get-togethers, office celebrations, and family dinners, it is a month built around connection.

Holiday at The Well is a great excuse to get out, enjoy the city, and soak up a bit of holiday atmosphere. You will also find a few ideas for standout Canadian wines to bring to dinner parties or gift to your favourite host.

As expected, the Bank of Canada held the prime rate steady, signalling a continued wait-and-see approach as we head into the new year. This is unlikely to affect December’s sales, but it may help shape buyer confidence heading into the spring market.

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

It’s hard these days to talk about the market without sounding a bit negative; that’s especially true right now. Not only are we experiencing a multi-year slowdown in the market, it’s compounded by the traditional December downturn. I feel as though the winter slowdown started even earlier this year – I noticed fewer and fewer listings hitting the market, beginning in November.

So, what will the market look like in 2026? Read my latest blog for all the details.
