Welcome to my May email newsletter! 

The first long weekend of spring is here. If you're looking for something to do, whether it's in the city or just outside, scroll down.

Have you ever wondered how some of Toronto's neighbourhoods were named? Take a look at the interesting piece below from BlogTO! 

There has been a large number of new listings hitting the market as of late. Whether this is due to the new housing regulations being put into place or homeowners looking to cash out, it's good news for buyers! Below you'll find my two newest listings; both are Cabbagetown Victorians but very different. 

If you are considering making a move this year, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
