The highest-priced homes are usually influenced by unique features, privacy, and lifestyle more than broader housing market trends.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Beverly Hills estate has reportedly entered escrow after spending months on the market. The high-profile sale highlights how luxury properties often follow a different timeline than the average home, with buyers weighing location, privacy, amenities, and exclusivity....

For homes in Canada and the U.S., natural stone, warmer finishes, and softer lighting can make a space feel more inviting without feeling trendy.

All-white interiors had a long run, but home design is starting to feel warmer again across Canada and the U.S. Think natural wood, stone, textured fabrics, layered lighting, and colors that make a room feel comfortable instead of staged. This is especially easy to see in mountain, cottage, and reso...

Buyers tend to move quickly when they feel they're competing with others, and that's one reason a well-planned listing strategy matters.

Most people think bidding wars happen after a home hits the market, but some sellers are generating interest well before their listing goes live. This article looks at the strategies that can build anticipation, attract more buyers, and create momentum from day one. While every market is different,....

If your rental is sitting vacant, a small concession can sometimes cost less than another month without rent.

If your rental is sitting vacant, a small concession can sometimes cost less than another month without rent.

Vacancy can get expensive fast, which is why some landlords offer concessions like a free month, reduced deposit, or move-in credit to attract tenants faster. The key is understanding the tradeoff. A short-term incentive can preserve long-term rental income better than lowering the asking rent acros...

Grindr founder and former CEO Joel Simkhai is listing his Hollywood Hills estate for $14.99 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.

Simkhai has an eye for business — and real estate. When he launched the gay hook-up app Grindr in 2009, it was one of the first — if not the first — popular location-based apps. Since then, the LGBTQ+ portal has expanded into politics, a Politico article noted in April.

If you’re planning a move, the bigger question isn’t just whether Canada has hit bottom—it’s what prices, inventory and demand are doing in your own market.

After a prolonged housing slowdown, the conversation in Canada is starting to turn toward what comes next. The Financial Post looks at whether the market may be approaching a bottom and what could shape the path from here. National trends can provide useful context, but housing rarely turns at exact...

If you’re helping buyers compete, a strong price, sensible conditions and flexible timing now matter far more than a heartfelt letter to the seller.

Personal letters once gave buyers another way to stand out during intense bidding wars, but Canada’s slower housing market has changed the equation. Agents in Toronto, Vancouver and Kitchener say sellers are now paying closer attention to price, deposits, conditions and closing flexibility. A thou...

Small details like bathroom safety, doorway width, and easy outdoor upkeep may not feel urgent today, but they can help you stay independent longer.

Choosing a home for retirement means thinking beyond today’s needs. A manageable layout, main-floor living, accessible bathrooms, convenient laundry, and lower maintenance can make everyday life easier over time. Location matters too, especially when you consider healthcare, shopping, transportati...
