Save Time & Money and isn't that something we could all use a little more of these days?

02/05/2026

Recent events involving iPro Realty and Save Max have exposed a hard truth about parts of our industry. When brokerages grow fast, cut corners, or prioritize profit over people, the risk does not land on the brokerage owners alone. It lands on agents, clients, and families who trusted that their money was being handled properly.

Trust accounts exist for one reason. To protect consumers and professionals. When those safeguards are ignored or abused, confidence in the entire system takes a hit. These situations are not about business models or branding. They are about stewardship, accountability, and culture.

This is why the stability of a long standing brokerage matters.

Firms like Royal LePage have operated for generations under strict compliance, deep financial oversight, and a people first culture. Longevity in real estate is not accidental. It is earned through consistency, transparency, and putting clients and professionals ahead of short term gains.

New brokerages often sell speed, splits, and profit as innovation. But real trust is built slowly. It is built by doing the right thing when no one is watching, by protecting funds without exception, and by understanding that real estate is not just transactions. It is people’s lives.

In moments like this, experience matters. History matters. And choosing who you align with matters more than ever.

January 2026 local market snapshot across Burlington, Hamilton, Milton, Mississauga, and Oakville.

Activity remains uneven by city. Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and Milton all saw fewer new listings and fewer sales compared to last January, with homes taking longer to sell and prices softening modestly. This reflects buyer caution and more deliberate decision making at today’s price points.

Hamilton stands out as the exception. New listings, sales activity, and average prices all increased year over year, showing continued demand and relative affordability compared to surrounding markets, even as days on market edged higher.

The takeaway is clear. This is no longer a one size fits all market. Neighbourhood, price band, and property type matter more than ever. Strategy needs to be local, realistic, and data driven.

If you want to understand how these conditions apply to your specific area or plans for 2026, I am always happy to break it down.

January 2026 GTA market snapshot.

Average sale price sits at $973,289, down 6.5 percent year over year and 3.3 percent month over month. Sales slowed to just over 3,000 transactions while inventory continued to build, pushing months of inventory to 5.0. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with average days on market rising to 45.

By property type, detached homes remain the highest priced segment, while townhomes and condos continue to see the most price sensitivity. Condo prices, in particular, remain under pressure compared to last year, reflecting affordability limits and higher supply.

Overall, this is a more balanced market with increased choice for buyers and a clear message for sellers. Pricing and preparation matter more than ever.

If you want to understand how these conditions affect your specific neighbourhood or property type, I am always happy to walk through it with you.
