On a non Real Estate Matter Helene's Hair Donation Ottawa event raised another $95,000 (and still counting) bringing the total that she has raised over the last 7 years to over $570,000.  Well done.

The trendy neighborhoods continue to be trendy with $750,000 homes selling $100,000 over list price.  Not to be outdone, a very large percentage of townhouses in Kanata/Barrhaven/Stittsville/ others are also becoming trendy it seems :-) they are also selling in multiple offers and selling from $10-$30,000 over list.  Come one town home owner come all, call us.  Time to reap the benefits of where you have lived.

Spring has been in the air for a couple of months from a real estate perspective with no slow down forecasted.  That being said, Rural is not as vibrant as the Greater Ottawa city properties.

New BuzzBuzzHome report explores how the Fair Housing Plan has impacted the new construction market 1 year later

It's been just over one year since the Fair Housing Plan (FHP) was announced by the provincial government in an attempt to slow demand and improve affordability in Ontario's hottest housing markets.

While the reach and efficacy of the policies that the plan introduced have been debated endlessly, there is now more data to assess just how effective it was in accomplishing its objectives.

Using internal data, BuzzBuzzHome  compiled a report  that examined the impact of the Fair Housing Plan on the province's new construction home market, with a focus on how it affected investor activity and buyer preferences through the past year.

12 emerging home decor trends from Pinterest's 2018 Home Report

Earlier this week, Pinterest released its  2018 Home Report . From more than 14 billion home ideas, it's pinpointed (pun intended) 25 emerging home decor trends that are expected to take over our feeds in the coming months. While some ideas were commonplace - like open-concept interiors, which saw a search spike of 150 percent year-over-year - others surprised us. Take fringe, for example. Who knew the Art Deco-staple would be so popular in 2018? Read on for our top 12 home decor picks from the discovery platform's latest report.

1. Lagom

First there was hygge, then came wabi-sabi, and now we've got lagom - yet another lifestyle concept that's difficult to pronounce (for the record, it's lah-gohm). Searches for the Swedish word meaning "just the right amount" were up 905 percent. The trend is all about balance, encouraging practitioners to cut down on clutter, streamline their to-do list, and utilize functional furniture pieces.

Understanding regional farmland prices across Ontario
      
Farmers and prospective land owners have raised some concerns about the increasing values of Canada's agricultural land.

So, in an effort to provide Ontario's agricultural industry with current farmland prices and rental rates, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) conducted an online survey earlier this year.

A total of 2,367 individuals - including farmers, farmland owners, tenants, landlords and farm managers - provided data on their acreage and price perceptions. The OFA and University of Guelph published this information in the  2017 Farmland Value and Rental Value Survey report last month.
