If you're thinking about buying a fixer-upper, make sure your renovation budget includes a little room for surprises because projects rarely go exactly as planned.

Fixer-uppers can be appealing because they often offer more space, a better location, or a lower purchase price than move-in-ready homes. The challenge is knowing what renovations will actually cost once the work begins. This article explores common financial realities that buyers face, from contrac...

Design trends are leaning warmer and more personal again, with homes feeling less staged and a lot more comfortable.

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 ...

The most important factor to weigh before splurging is "adherence to the home's price range and location. If you over-improve — say, install a $200,000 kitchen in a $900,000 home in a $1 million neighborhood — you'll never recoup that money.

Upscale improvements can certainly be worth the investment if executed with a sense of balance between design panache, functionality, and market sensibility. The most important factor to weigh before splurging is "adherence to the home's price range and location. If you over-improve — say, install...

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for calmer conditions, this market feels a lot less frantic than it did a few years ago.

Ontario’s housing market is showing early signs of improving buyer confidence after a long period of hesitation and affordability pressure. More people are starting to re-enter the market, especially with borrowing costs easing and inventory levels improving in many areas. That doesn’t mean cond...

Before you fall in love with a place, it helps to understand which first-time buyer savings may actually apply to you.

Before you fall in love with a place, it helps to understand which first-time buyer savings may actually apply to you.

First-time buyers in Canada have a lot to sort through, and some of the most useful help can show up in the closing-cost details. Ontario buyers, for example, may be able to reduce land transfer tax costs through provincial rebates, while Toronto buyers may have another municipal rebate to consider....

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...

Canada's market is steadier than it was earlier this year, though prices and inventory are still moving very differently by province.

Canada’s March housing numbers show a market that’s steadier, but still far from simple. National prices edged up from February, sales were lower than last year, and inventory sat in balanced territory. The more useful part is the regional split: B.C. looks more buyer-friendly, Alberta and Quebe...

It’s a design element you definitely want to get right the first time around.

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.

Ontario’s housing plans are tied closely to infrastructure upgrades, which is worth watching in fast-growing communities across the province.

Ontario’s housing conversation isn’t only about listings and prices. This update looks at federal investments tied to new homes, transit, green infrastructure, homelessness support, and the water and sewer systems communities need as they grow. It’s helpful civic context because housing supply...
