For many Canadians, the Victoria Day long weekend signals the unofficial start to cottage season. However, this year, recreational real estate is attracting a demographic of buyers looking beyond the traditional vacation property.

Royal LePage forecasts the median price of a single-family recreational home in Canada will rise four per cent this year to $604,552, following a 4.3 per cent increase in 2025 to $581,300. The brokerage expects prices to increase despite the broader economic uncertainty.

Why buy early?: Some parents are purchasing homes for their children long before adulthood to lock in current prices and hedge against worsening affordability.

A growing number of parents are purchasing property for children still in elementary or middle school, aiming to secure housing before prices climb further. In one Australian case, parents spent over $500,000 on a two-bedroom apartment for a child under 12, a move echoed by U.S. families facing simi...

Across Reddit, a growing number of first-time home buyers are marking their milestone moment with a now-familiar caption: “We did it.”

The posts are simple but striking. A snapshot of a new living room. Cardboard boxes stacked against bare walls. A couple sitting cross-legged on the floor, keys in hand while digging into a pizza like it’s a five-star meal. Sometimes they add the mortgage rate they locked in.

If your space has been feeling a little cold or overly minimal lately, this year’s design ideas are heading in the opposite direction.

More designers are moving away from ultra-minimal spaces and leaning into homes that feel warmer, softer, and more lived in. Richer colours, layered textures, vintage pieces, and comfortable layouts are showing up everywhere right now, especially in spaces people actually use every day. It’s less ...

Former "Today" show host Kathie Lee Gifford has put her enormous Connecticut estate on the market for the staggering price of $100 million—32 years after she purchased the expansive abode with her late husband, Frank Gifford.

The TV personality—who left "Today" in 2019—also built an in-home recording studio where she was able to pursue her music career from the comfort of her own house, which is known as Cedar Cliff and is listed with Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty.

In recent years, zellige tile—handcrafted clay tiles traditionally made in Morocco—have also entered the chat, and their subtle irregularities lend pretty texture to a kitchen.

A backsplash can set the tone for the entire kitchen, especially if you’re looking to tile an accent area, a whole wall, or even the entire room.

Single Gen Z women are outpacing their male counterparts when it comes to buying a home.

NAR surveyed people who bought a home between July 2024 and June 2025. The survey included homebuyers from several generations, from Gen Z, ages 18-26, to the Silent Generation, ages 80 to 100. No other generation had a bigger share of single women homebuyers than Gen Z.

The “best place to buy” really depends on your life, your budget, and how each local market is moving right now.

The “best place to buy” really depends on your life, your budget, and how each local market is moving right now.

This look at Canada’s 2026 housing market points to places like Edmonton, Ottawa, St. John’s, and Fredericton as markets where buyers may find more value than in the country’s priciest cities. It’s not a one-size-fits-all list, though. Some areas are more affordable, some are heating up, and...

Pros share where to focus your effort.

Selling your home can be a bit of a guessing game. While you can certainly work to make sure your home looks its best, it’s hard to know what potential home buyers are actually reacting to (or looking for) as they walk through your home. That said, there are ways to stack the deck in your favor to...
