Beautiful century home, built in 1900, has been tastefully renovated throughout, highlighting modern day finishes while maintaining its historical charm.

Nestled in the quaint township of Otterville, this is your opportunity to enjoy a turn-key home with character and charm, in a small town community outside the hustle and bustle of the big city.

This family friendly home is unlike most others in the area, offering room for everyone with 1,778 sq ft of living space that includes 3 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a formal dining space that allows ample room to fit the whole family around the table.

This home was not only renovated with style in mind, but also energy efficiency. New interior and exterior insulation throughout, new siding and all new windows will keep those energy costs low!

And we can’t forget the fully renovated kitchen that boasts an abundance of natural light, with stainless steel appliances, neutral finishes, a large island for additional storage and seating as well as a double door walkout to your backyard.

This one is a must see! Offers anytime.

🚨 Not our usual content, but this is important 🚨

Sadly, this is not the first incident like this to happen, so PLEASE, kindly keep the following in mind……

The next time a REALTOR® ask you for your name and contact info, this is why. The next time a REALTOR® asks you for ID, this is why. The next time a REALTOR® takes a call during your appointment, this is why (check in call). The next time a REALTOR® asks for proof that you’re a qualified buyer, this is why. The next time a REALTOR® refuses to show you a house because you wouldn’t provide this information, this is why.

Every day we speak with and meet with strangers. We need to protect ourselves from something horrible like this happening.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and our fellow REALTOR® colleagues. May she rest peacefully. Stay safe my friends.

📉 June Market Stats 📉

The market has changed quite a bit over the last several weeks. The Bank of Canada made its much anticipated rate reduction announcement in June, and it definitely showed us a new market - but not necessarily the way most had anticipated it would go

Here is what we’re seeing!

🏠 There is more inventory than we’ve seen in months
💰 There are fewer Buyers than there is inventory
🛑 Offer dates are not as popular - often presenting single, or no offers at all
🚫 We are seeing a lot of terminations and relistings at lower prices
🗓️ Houses are on the market longer than we are most recently accustomed to

So what does all this mean?

BUYERS - prime opportunity for you is NOW. With more inventory you have more to choose from, fewer competing offers, offers being accepted with conditions, and flexibility from Sellers to negotiate pricing.

SELLERS - Understand the market, know that your house likely isn’t going to sell in 1 days, be realistic about expectations, and ensure your Agents have a solid marketing plan and experience working a Buyers market!

Have specific questions about buying or selling in this market? We would love to chat with you!

To all the Dads.....

The pet Dads

The Dads that do it alone....

Through the good days, the impossible days and all the responsibility and tough decisions that come with your roles...

You are ALL Superhero's

Happy Father's Day!
