The starter home isn't dead — it just looks a lot different than it used to 🏡

A new build that cost $120,000 in 1997 is selling for $600,000 today 😳 and that shift has completely changed what getting into the market looks like for first-time buyers. The good news? Condos, townhouses, co-ownership, and markets outside the major city centres are all opening doors that didn't exist a generation ago.

Linked below is a great read for anyone thinking about their first purchase. When you're ready to talk through what's actually within reach for you, let's chat! 📞

It used to be that almost everyone’s first home was considered a “starter home.” But between a lack of housing supply and economic challenges, is the concept even a thing in Canada anymore?

City or suburbs — where do you land? 🏙️ 🏘️

Some people thrive on the energy of downtown living, with everything happening right outside your window. Others wouldn't trade the space, quiet, and breathing room of the suburbs for anything. And plenty of people have made the switch both ways!

Which side are you on, and what would make you switch? Drop a comment below! 👇

Presales are one of the most underused tools in a buyer's toolkit. 🏗️ Here's why smart buyers are paying attention right now:

→ Lock in today's price before the building is complete
→ Smaller upfront commitment than a resale purchase
→ Time to save while the project is built

Mortgage rates shift often, so the window to secure a presale unit at a given price may not stay open long. 🏡

Curious whether a presale makes sense for your situation? 💬 Get in touch — let's walk through the numbers together.

Which would you consider first — presale or resale? Vote in the comments!
