Toronto Market Insights (TMI) for the month of March are in. And the burning questions we all have is "Where oh where did all our Sellers go? Why didn't they show up?? Are there ANY bright spots in this market?" Get some answers here:)

Your February Toronto Market Insights are ready to be revealed and this Realtor, while acknowledging that "hope" is not a strategy, has decided to keep her hopes UP for a positive Spring market going forward, even though all the usual metrics we see in the stats are pointing DOWN.

Expressing so much gratitude to my loyal clients who continue to trust me with such important decisions when it comes to buying and/or selling their homes. As many of you know, the stories I often post about our Real Estate journeys entitled "INCOME VS OUTCOME", illustrate my guiding principle that it's NEVER about the income. It's ALWAYS about the outcome. So I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for continuing to allow me to be your "Toronto House Whisperer" and I so look forward to helping you in this "tricky 2026 market". As you all know, YOUR Home is where MY heart is 🧡

I’m working on some creative magical thinking to dazzle my clients with in this otherwise lacklustre housing market we seem to be in. As all caring and experienced Realtors know, there’s a lot of pressure baked into real estate that doesn’t need to be there. Buying or selling a home is a big decision, and my job isn’t to rush anyone through it — it’s to help them make the right move with confidence.
Here are a few things I genuinely don’t care about as your realtor:
I don’t care if you change your mind. That’s part of the process. Clarity comes from seeing options, not forcing decisions.
I don’t care if you’re nervous. You should be. This matters, and it’s normal to feel that weight.
I don’t care how many homes we look at. We stop when it’s right — not when it’s convenient.
I don’t care what AI or the algorithms say it’s worth. The market decides. Not an algorithm.
And I don’t care if your house is messy. I’m not judging your life — I’m evaluating the property.
Real estate works best when there’s room to think, ask questions, and move at a pace that actually makes sense for you.
Everything else I DO care about because at the end of the day, people don't care what you know, until they know that you care.

This was not a soft start to the year. It was one of the slowest January’s in decades, including periods that covered the global financial crisis and multiple pandemic lockdowns. So now what!?!

What's in Jill's Real Estate Playbook for 2026?
1 Attention all Buyers: Motivated Sellers are looking forward to your visits!
2 Pre-construction market is still searching for a floor
3 Condo prices will continue to drift south until they look like places to live in, not vehicles for speculation
3 Attention all Sellers: Lower rates are not cutting it! Your job will be to set realistic prices that align with local incomes.
The End. (It's a short book!)

My final Toronto Market Insights report for the year begs the following question: What's the "prognosis" for the market in 2026?? In my 20 year Real Estate career, never have I received as many calls from my clients asking for advice on whether to buy, to sell or to just stay put, as I have in this 4th quarter of 2025.
Tune in to listen to my take on where we are now and where we're headed! Oh, and happy Holidays to you all 🥂🧡

Your TMI (Toronto Market Insights) for the month of October are ready to share (along with an apology from me!).....This market correction has a little more room to run than I had previously anticipated...so tune in here and remember to contact your Realtor of choice before you dip your toe in these slightly "troubled waters" 😇

I have (chronic :) OCD (Obsessive Closing Disorder!)
..and I have to tell you this one was "magical"! The search was extensive. The reward was beyond magical! Lush and private 2 acres in the country, gorgeous pool and lounge area, walking trails, fruit trees, natural and protected conservation areas, room for raised vegetable and flower gardens and so much more....oh, and a beautiful 4 bedroom country home also happened to be included in the purchase!! Cannot WAIT to see how my clients make this one "their own". 🧡🧡

Your Toronto Market Insights ( ) for the month of September are especially "insightful" as buyers tiptoe back into the market! Sales are climbing week by week! Prices, on the other hand are NOT. /goodnews
