Spent the morning showing a couple of condos on St. Joseph St., then wandered over to for a bite to eat, a coffee, and some of the best people-watching in the city.

One photo captures a walking tour introducing visitors to Jamaican beef patties, another shows some bicycle police enjoying a well-deserved pit stop, and I even caught a fire truck cruising by while broadcasting music through its speakers. Only in ! I also saw a bunch of school kids working on a Kensington related assignment - the same one I did at their age after being bussed to Toronto on a school trip years ago!

I absolutely love Kensington Market. It’s one of Toronto’s most vibrant, eclectic neighbourhoods, and I make a point of visiting whenever I can.

The first four weeks of a listing are the most critical window for sellers, with Realtor.com research showing that homes closing around the four-week mark consistently achieve the best sale-to-list price ratios. Homes that go under contract in the first two weeks command the highest premiums above asking, while those that linger to 18 weeks see the worst outcomes as buyer psychology shifts from interest to skepticism.
