Welcome to my March newsletter!
It's a cold one so far but you know what they say..." March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb"; fingers crossed! Regardless if you're still dreaming of a getaway from our remaining winter weather, check out the piece below from Toronto Life which showcases the spots where local celebs are wintering!
A great discovery in the past month's has given us a little more insight into Toronto's history as the dig for the new courthouse unearthed some hidden artifacts of the city's past. That piece is below along with a link to some great shots of the city at night.
It's no surprise to anyone now to hear that real estate prices continue to rise which, of course, is making it a challenge for many buyers. Check out my latest blog entry on navigating the waters of our market.
The spring real estate boom traditionally starts after March Break and I'm busy prepping for the launch of a bunch of new listings. See below for a sneak peak of a couple that are coming soon!
As always, I thank you for your past and future business and any referrals you may have are greatly appreciated.

Buying In The Toronto Real Estate Market? Here's What You Need To Know!
The first challenge is the lack of inventory. It's no surprise that when there's a shortage of listings, one of the results is that buyers are willing to make more compromises on their "wish list" than ever before.
But what makes it that much more frustrating is that those homes are often sold before we have a chance to see them... the market is incredibly fast and it forces prospective buyers to step up their game and be on high alert with flexible schedules.
