The Canadian housing market, particularly in Ontario, has been navigating through a period of significant shifts, presenting both challenges and opportunities for buyers and investors. Here’s a detailed look at how the market has evolved and where it might be headed.Market OverviewThe year 2024 saw a dynamic shift in the housing market across Canada, with Ontario experiencing a mix of stability and slight declines in property prices. According to recent data:Average Home Price in Ontario:– In December 2024, the average home price in Ontario was $834,123, marking a 2.3% year-over-year decrease. This reflects a broader trend of stabilization after years of rapid price increases.– Condominium prices specifically saw a more pronounced drop, with the average condo selling price decreasing by 4.1% to $586,000 in the same period.Sales and Listings:– Despite the price declines, sales activity showed resilience, with 8,997 home sales in December 2024, an 8.1% increase year-over-year.– However, the market has seen an increase in inventory, with active listings up by 24.7% to 43,779 units, indicating a buyer’s market in some regions.2024 vs. 2025: Sales StatisticsHomes Sold in 2024:Ontario saw approximately 180,881 homes sold throughout 2024, a 3.1% increase from 2023, suggesting that a market recovery was underway.2025 Projections:– Early indicators for 2025 suggest a continued uptick in sales, with forecasts predicting an 8.6% increase in national home sales from 2024.– This could translate to around 532,704 properties traded across Canada, with Ontario expected to maintain or slightly exceed its 2024 figures.Price Predictions for 2025– of a 4.7% rise nationally in 2025.– Given Ontario’s current market conditions, a similar trend might be observed, particularly in areas outside of major urban centers like Toronto, where affordability could drive demandCondo Market:The condo market, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), is expected to see continued pressure on prices due to an oversupply in new constructions.However, with the right timing and location, condos might still offer good investment opportunities (HELLO!!! To anyone looking to enter the market).What’s Influencing the Market?Interest Rates:Lower interest rates in late 2024 and into 2025 are likely to stimulate buying interest, though they might also push up prices if demand spikes too quickly.Mortgage Policy Changes:Recent adjustments to mortgage rules, including longer amortization periods for first-time buyers, are expected to ease entry into the market, potentially boosting demand.Good News for Ontario BuyersFor those looking to make a move in the Ontario housing market, the current scenario presents several advantages:✅ More Choices: With increased listings, buyers have more options, which could lead to better negotiations on price.✅ Potential Price Stability: While there might be slight increases, the market is not expected to see dramatic jumps, offering a more predictable buying environment.Looking ForwardAs we move through 2025, the interplay of supply, demand, and economic policies will continue to shape Ontario’s housing landscape. If you’re considering buying, this might be a strategic time to leverage lower prices and interest rates. However, always keep an eye on local market dynamics, as they can vary significantly from one city to another within OntarioStay informed, and whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest, remember that the market’s pulse is ever-changing. But currently, it’s beating with opportunities for those ready to act wisely. Provided by Bramptonist News

Rethinking the 'Spring Market': Why Listing Your Home Earlier Could Give You an Edge

<h3>5 Quick Tips to Winterize Your Home Before the Snow Hits</h3>Winter in Southern Ontario can be tough on homes. A little prep now can save you headaches (and cash) when temperatures drop. Here are five easy ways to get your house winter-ready:<ol>
<li>Seal Those Drafts</li>
<li>Check for gaps around windows and doors. Use weather stripping or caulking to seal them up and keep the warm air inside where it belongs. Bonus: lower heating bills!</li>
<li>Service Your Furnace</li>
<li>A quick tune-up can keep your furnace running efficiently all winter. Don’t forget to replace the filter—it’s an easy and affordable way to improve performance.</li>
<li>Clear Your Gutters</li>

<li>Check Your Roof</li>
<li>Take a quick look (or hire a pro) to make sure there are no loose shingles or signs of damage. Snow and ice buildup can cause serious problems if your roof isn’t in top shape.</li>
<li>Protect Your Pipes</li>
<li>Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages or basements. Don’t forget to shut off and drain outdoor faucets to avoid freezing and bursting.</li>

5 Quick Tips to Winterize Your Home Before the Snow Hits

﻿Thinking about downsizing your home? If you're feeling it's that time, downsizing could open up some incredible opportunities. Whether it's freeing up equity, lowering your bills, or just simplifying your life, this move could help you enjoy more financial freedom and less stress. Here’s an updated and more in-depth guide, including a look at how to handle your mortgage when downsizing.<h3> </h3><h3>Step 1: Start Early and Get Organized</h3>Downsizing is a big decision, and it’s always best to start planning early. You’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to sort through your belongings and decide what comes with you and what doesn't. If you start early, you can take your time and avoid the chaos of a rushed move.Create a list and go room by room. Start with the least-used spaces like storage areas, attics, or the garage. Break it into smaller tasks so it feels more manageable. Make four piles: keep, donate, sell, and discard. Sentimental items like family heirlooms can go to loved ones, and you might want to digitize old photos and documents. *I work wth a company that can help with this or take care of everything! <h3>Step 2: Clarify Your Financial Goals</h3>Think about why you’re downsizing. Is it about reducing home maintenance, saving on bills, or unlocking equity? Understanding your goals will help guide the entire process. For many, the financial aspect is key. You want to make sure downsizing benefits your budget and lifestyle, both now and in the future.<h3> </h3><h3>Step 3: Handle the Mortgage Like a Pro</h3>If you still have a mortgage, downsizing can present some challenges—but it’s totally doable with the right game plan and the right team. Let’s break down how to handle your mortgage when downsizing:<h4> </h4><h4>
1. If Your Mortgage Is Paid Off
</h4>Lucky you! If your mortgage is already paid off, you have a lot of flexibility. Selling your current home means you can pocket the equity and use it however you see fit. Whether that’s buying a smaller home outright, investing for retirement, or even helping your kids/grandkids with a down payment on their home, this equity gives you freedom.<h4> </h4><h4>
2. If You're Still Paying Off Your Mortgage
</h4>Still have payments left? Not a problem, but you’ll want to handle things carefully.<ul>
<li>
Selling for More Than You Owe: If the sale of your home covers the remaining balance of your mortgage, you can use that equity to put toward your new home. This is often the ideal scenario when downsizing.
</li>
<li>
Selling for Less Than You Owe: If your home’s value has dipped and you owe more than you’ll sell it for, things can get trickier. You’ll need to cover that gap somehow. One option is to use savings or other assets to make up the difference, but you’ll want to explore your options carefully. This is very unlikely in our area.
</li>
</ul> <h4>
3. Porting Your Mortgage
</h4>This is where it gets interesting. Many people don’t realize that they might be able to port their mortgage. This means transferring your current mortgage to your new property, which could save you from paying penalties for breaking your mortgage early.Not all lenders offer portable mortgages, so check with your mortgage broker or lender. If they do, this option can be a great way to avoid penalties and keep your interest rate (if it’s a good one!). <h4>
4. Breaking Your Mortgage Early
</h4>If porting isn’t an option, you’ll want to look at potential penalties for breaking your mortgage early. For a fixed-rate mortgage, you’ll typically have to pay the greater of three months' interest or the interest rate differential (IRD). The IRD compares your current interest rate to what your lender can charge now, and it can lead to a hefty penalty if rates have dropped.For variable-rate mortgages, things are simpler. The penalty is usually just three months' interest, making it less costly to break early. Again, talk to your mortgage broker to get a clear idea of what you’re facing.<h4> </h4><h4>
5. Considering Fees
</h4>Aside from penalties, don’t forget about discharge fees. These are the costs involved in removing the mortgage charge from your property’s title, and they vary by province and lender. In Ontario, discharge fees typically range from $200 to $400.It’s also worth consulting a real estate lawyer to ensure all the legal aspects of breaking or transferring a mortgage are handled properly. <h3>Step 4: Get Your New Budget in Place</h3>Once you’ve handled the mortgage side of things, it’s time to get your new budget in place. Downsizing often means lower expenses, but you’ll still need to account for costs like homeowners’ insurance, property taxes, and condo fees (if you're moving into a condo).Moving also comes with one-time expenses like moving services, home inspections, repairs to your current home before selling, and possibly new furniture - I'm sorry but that 5-piece sectional probably won't fit. Plan ahead so there are no surprises.<h3> </h3><h3>Step 5: Declutter and Move Smarter</h3>As you declutter, think about what items will fit in your new space. If you’re moving to a smaller home or condo, you’ll want to avoid bringing too much. Measure your furniture and visualize how it’ll fit into the new rooms.If there are things you’re not ready to part with, consider using a storage unit for seasonal items or family heirlooms that don’t have a place in your new home right now.<h3> </h3><h3>Step 6: Enjoy the Freedom</h3>Downsizing is about gaining freedom—both financially and mentally. Less maintenance, fewer bills, and more cash flow mean you’ll have more time and money to spend on what you love. Whether that’s traveling, spending time with family, or pursuing hobbies, downsizing can lead to a simpler, more fulfilling life. <h3>Final Thoughts</h3>Downsizing doesn’t have to be stressful. By planning ahead and getting the right financial advice, you can make the process smooth and rewarding. Handling your mortgage the right way—whether through porting, paying off, or breaking early—will be key to making downsizing a smart move.If you’re thinking about downsizing or want to discuss your mortgage options, I’m here to help.

<li>2 main reasons that First Timers struggle</li>
<li>$175,000 diff in downpayment</li>
<li>Saving $300/month on your mortgage</li>
<li>How this affects YOU (not just first timers)</li>
<li>What will this do to our market?</li>
</ul> This week, the federal government announced significant changes to mortgage regulations, providing much-needed relief for homebuyers. Right now, the 2 main reasons that First Time Homebuyers struggle to get into the housing market is usually lack of savings for a down payment, or the worry of monthly payments being higher than their rent. The government addressed both of those concerns this week.  Here are the main takeaways: 1. CMHC Raises Mortgage Cap from $1M to $1.5MHomebuyers can now make a minimum down payment on homes valued up to $1.5M. Previously, the cap was $1M, requiring a 20% down payment on any amount above that. Now, with a $1.5M cap, buyers can put down as little as $125K (compared to $300K previously), resulting in major savings. If you were purchasing a home worth $1.5M, you would have needed $300K for the down payment before these changes. Now, you only need $125K, which puts homeownership within reach for many more buyers. <h3>Example:</h3><ul>
<li>If you purchase a home for $1.4M, instead of needing 20% down ($280,000), you could now put down:</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">
5% on the first $500,000 = $25,000</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">
10% on the remaining $900,000 = $90,000</li>
<li class="ql-indent-1">
Total down payment = $115,000 (vs. $280,000 with the old rule)</li>
</ul> 2. 30-Year Amortizations Now Available to All First-Time Homebuyers  Previously, 30-year amortizations were only available for those purchasing new builds. Now, this option is available to all first-time homebuyers. This means lower monthly payments and more flexibility in home purchasing. Example: On a $500K mortgage, this change could lower your monthly payment by around $300. These new rules will go into effect on December 15, 2024 What This Means for Our Housing MarketWith these changes, we are likely to see an increase in housing market activity, particularly in the $1M–$1.5M range. Many buyers previously priced out of this range, due to the down payment requirements, will now be able to compete, potentially driving up competition in this segment. If you're currently pre-approved for a mortgage just below 1M, it's time to rerun your numbers to see how these changes will affect your buying power. First-time homebuyers should also reconsider their pre-approvals, as the shift to 30-year amortizations could significantly increase the amount you're eligible to borrow. The easing of these regulations will present new opportunities for many buyers, so it’s crucial to understand how these changes could affect you. In SummaryWith interest rates dropping and new lending options available for homeowners, the market is about to heat up fast. This shift could mean more competition and a rise in home prices. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a homeowner thinking about selling or buying again, now's the time to act. Don't get left behind—get ahead of the curve. The best move you can make right now is to ask questions and get the facts on how these changes could impact you. 💬 Message us today for expert advice and tailored solutions to help you win in this market.

Housing Market Shift: What You Need to Know NOW!

The B.C. Residential Tenancy Branch's recent ruling, allowing a landlord to increase rent by 27% due to rising mortgage costs, offers a positive precedent for investors. This decision acknowledges the financial realities landlords face, especially those with variable-rate mortgages who have seen their costs soar unexpectedly. By permitting rent increases beyond the provincial cap, the ruling provides a safety net for property owners, ensuring their investments remain viable even in volatile markets. This could attract more investors to the rental market, knowing there's a mechanism to manage unforeseen financial challenges. The decision reinforces the importance of aligning rental income with fluctuating costs, ultimately helping to maintain a healthy investment environment in the province. The ruling also signals to property investors that prudent financial management and a strategic approach to mortgage financing are recognized and protected. For those considering investing in the B.C. rental market, this outcome could serve as a reassuring factor, suggesting that the regulatory framework can accommodate significant economic shifts. With the provincial government reviewing policies to balance both landlord and tenant needs, investors might find B.C. a more attractive market, knowing there are pathways to safeguard their financial interests even when market conditions shift unexpectedly. Lawyer Rob Patterson says the phones at B.C.’s Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre never stop ringing — but he worries a decision allowing a landlord to impose a 27 per cent rent increase will fuel even more demand for its services. Patterson, a legal advocate with the centre, said a regulation allowing landlords to apply to B.C.’s Residential Tenancy Branch for such rent increases, above an annual limit set by the province, should be struck from the books. In a May ruling an arbitrator with the board allowed landlord Kriss Canada Ltd. to raise rent beyond the 3.5 per cent limit set by the province for this year because its mortgage costs ballooned with rising interest rates. “If this is indeed an opening-of-floodgates situation, it’s pouring gasoline on a fire in terms of housing affordability in the province,” he said. “Pretty decisive action is needed in a pretty quick turn-around to nip this in the bud.” He said provincial housing policy shouldn’t insulate investors from losses if they make risky bets on the housing market. Kriss Canada Ltd., bought a property with a variable-rate mortgage in 2021 at 1.9%. However, by June 2023, the interest rate had more than tripled, making the current rent levels unsustainable. The landlord argued that the rate hikes were unforeseeable, but the tenants countered that the property was an investment, and short-term losses should not justify such a substantial rent increase. Despite these arguments, the arbitrator ruled in favor of the landlord, citing the significant and unforeseen rise in interest rates.

Unlock the Secret to Winning Your Dream Home!

If you're eyeing the cottage scene, you might wanna buckle up because it's looking like another roller coaster year in 2024. Recreational property prices are expected to jump by a solid 6.8%. So, if you’ve got your sights set on a cozy lakeside spot, it’s time to pay attention.Despite a slew of challenges—from soaring interest rates to affordability headaches—cottage owners across Canada are sticking to their guns. Rather than flooding the market with listings, most are holding tight. Why? They're not just in it for the kicks; the lifestyle and potential long-term gains are too good to pass up.RE/MAX Canada's latest scoop from their 2024 Cottage Trends Report is telling us that sales might not just hold steady but actually rise in most regions, with some expecting increases from 3% to a whopping 50%. That’s not just optimism; it’s a signal that the cottage life still has plenty of allure.Remember when COVID hit and suddenly everyone wanted a piece of the great outdoors? Prices soared by an unreal 39% from 2020 to 2022, with folks clamoring for waterfront spots. Fast forward to now, and things are shifting. The pandemic fog has lifted, and with folks heading back to offices and borders reopening, the heat from the market had cooled.However, don't expect a massive drop in prices or a surge in listings this spring. Interest rates are still a drag, keeping some potential buyers at bay. But there's a glimmer of hope. Most lenders and economists are preparing for rate reductions to start this summer. So, for those grappling with variable-rate mortgages, hang in there—the tide could turn.With rentals, it’s a mixed bag. Some savvy owners, like Sarah Etherden who rents out her spot on Kennisis Lake, managed to keep their heads above water by adjusting their strategies. But with new laws and more competition, it’s getting tougher to bank on rental income alone.For those thinking of diving into the market, whether to buy or rent out, keep your eyes peeled for regulatory changes. They could seriously shake things up, especially for anyone looking to snag a deal on a rental property.As we paddle through 2024, expect buyers to be more strategic. The dream of owning that perfect retreat hasn't vanished; it's just gotten a bit more competitive. If you’re planning to make a move, consider lining up your financing. If you're ready to go, don't wait. If you need time, consider striking during the off-season when competition thins out.And for those of you pondering the future—maybe keeping a cherished family cottage in the family or thinking about succession planning—there's plenty to consider. The landscape is evolving, and how you navigate it could make all the difference in securing that idyllic escape or setting up a legacy for the next generation.Curious about what all this means for your dream of cottage ownership? Wondering how new short-term rental restrictions might affect your plans? Drop me a line, and let’s chart a course through these bustling waters together. Dive into the market with your eyes wide open—it’s the smart way to snag that perfect summer spot!Let's do this before the market gets so hot you can roast marshmallows on it. #CottageLife #Buying #VacationProperty #VacationRental #Cottage #Buy #Ontario #ON #Cottages #CottageMarket

We sold our lake front home in Burlington with the help of Andrew Mclellan. We could not be happier!Marion &amp; Steve (Luxury lakefront Sell and Buy DT Burlington)

We met Andrew at an Open House 5 years ago and immediately decided he was the realtor for us. He did not disappoint... He had everything under control and his attention to every detail was impressive, from listing to closing. Staging, marketing, communications and feedback were all excellent. He took all the pressure off us.

Andrew Mclellan, my agent, efficiently organized top quality photos and a video to list my home. His attention to detail to make the photos “pop” did not go un-noticed! After a mind blowing 35 showings, my home sold quickly and for top dollar.

We recently moved to Canada and were looking to buy our first home here. We've been working with Andrew and his help and professionalism was key in finding our new home in one of the craziest market condition of the last decade

Andrew pulled out all the stops to prepare our home in a very short period of time. It sold quickly and on point. They truly listened and conferred with us both. They're true professionals and know their stuff!

Andrew, who was the lead on our sale, was amazing throughout the process. Always making sure we were aware and comfortable with everything that was going on. We would strongly recommend Team Deborah Brown for anyone in the market.

Andrew Mclellan was so professional in his demeanour with me. He was understanding and very helpful walking me through the process of selling my home. He was respectful to all of my needs (and there were many) and very considerate. I followed his advice which benefitted all. You cannot go wrong using Andrew for your real estate agent, buying or selling!

Andrew gave us tremendous service and support through out the entire Buy/Sell process. We feel we received maximum $ value on our sale.On the purchase end; Andrew supported us well at negotiating the eventual purchase price. Andrew was very attentive to any request we had.

...we were like- "Andrew must have checked that , so should be good'. Completely trust him. He was always available when we had questions and booked the house showings to suit our timings. He is very hardworking and has excellent negotiation skills.

The second stage of buying my new home, was equally impressive. Andrew listened to my needs for my forever home and even researched valuable information for the zoning, of my desire, for a B&amp;B. After finding “the one,” we found ourselves in a multiple offer situation. He guided me with his solid knowledge and calm demeanour, through the process and we won!

The presentation that was created for our home was top notch, including a beautiful brochure and floor plans.

Buying a new home can be an exciting and overwhelming journey. I am so glad we chose the Deborah Brown team to help find and sell our home! Working with Deborah and Andrew was a great experience because of their professionalism and dedication towards their clients. Highly recommend the Deborah Brown team!

Andrew McLellan was very professional at all times - when I needed any questions answered he would reply immediately - customer service was great! He mentioned the staging - at first I was not sure (I loved my place the way it was), but went forward with it anyway. I'm so glad I did, it looked great and gave me some new decorating ideas! First impressions make all the difference - we had showings booked the very next day of it being listed.

It was a pleasure working with Andrew from the Deborah Brown team! He is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. His quick response to our many questions was much appreciated. He was able to help us find a new property, list our existing property with great staging and sell our unit for a great price. All of this done within a short period of time! We would recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking for anything real estate related. Thanks Andrew!!

10/10 would recommend. Our realtor Andrew was incredibly responsive, answered the millions of questions we had with as much detail as he could, and just went above and beyond in every way possible. Definitely made a typically stressful process the exact opposite.

The Picture of professionalism. Andrew went above and beyond ensuring every aspect of the sale was looked after. He was also a wealth of knowledge regarding trade contacts for every need along the way. Great work all around.

Awesome team and Andrew is an absolute rock star!
