Panoramic Okanagan Lake views, a world-class golf course next door, and award-winning dining—welcome to The Rise. ⛳️🍷

​Set on the hillside just 7km from downtown Vernon and minutes from the lake, this quiet neighborhood features Tuscan-inspired architecture with a great mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes.

​Right next door is The Rise Golf Resort, featuring an 18-hole Fred Couples signature course. Perched 1,000 feet above the lake at the top of the course is the resort’s new clubhouse and The Edge—named Vernon’s Restaurant of the Year in 2025! 🍽️

​Plus, walkers and bikers can jump right onto the Grey Canal Trail in the neighborhood and head north for about 8.5km toward Turtle Mountain. 🥾🚲

Planning a move in 2027? Here’s where to actually start. ⬇️

​Most homeowners think downsizing begins with decluttering the attic or renting a dumpster. But if you’re planning to move in 2027, starting with packing boxes usually leads to burnout before you even know where you’re going!

​Every good downsizing plan flows from one foundational number: what your current home is actually worth in today’s market.

​Swipe through the carousel above for the step-by-step timeline you can follow between now and spring to make your move smooth, calm, and completely on your schedule. 📲

​Summary of the steps:

1️⃣ Get a baseline valuation

2️⃣ Define "downsize to what" & window shop

3️⃣ Calculate your real net walk-away cash

4️⃣ Address the hidden bottleneck (family heirlooms)

5️⃣ Declutter with a clear target layout

6️⃣ Tackle your winter fix-up list

​Whether you’re exploring patio homes, single-level living, townhomes, or lock-and-leave condos, I’m happy to provide a simple, zero-pressure estimate of your home's current market value so you can start planning with total confidence.

August sales numbers might make it look like buyers are running the show in the North Okanagan… but the full story is in the listings. 📊

​While sales are down 34% YoY, new listings are also down 17% compared to last year. When supply drops right alongside demand, prices hold steady.

​Here is what you need to know right now:

• Sellers: Pricing accurately is key. Well-priced homes are still moving fast.

• Buyers: A slow market isn't a discount market. Lowballing fresh listings rarely works in balanced territory.

Ready to sell, but missed the summer rush? 🏡 Fall could actually work in your favor—lower inventory means less competition for serious buyers. But there’s one catch you need to check before putting up the sign. Watch this before you decide whether to list now or wait for spring! Message me to map out your next move.

The Bank of Canada held its benchmark interest rate steady at 2.25 per cent for a seventh consecutive decision today.

The central bank has been on the sidelines since late last year and was widely expected to remain on hold heading into today’s decision.

Monetary policymakers at the Bank of Canada use the policy rate to keep a lid on inflation and support economic growth when prices are contained.

Inflation rose to three per cent in July after the war in Iran drove a volatile period for gas prices over the spring and summer.

Economic growth, meanwhile, has shown signs of rebounding after stagnating for much of the last year.

Economists weighing in ahead of today’s decision expected the Bank of Canada would wait to see how new tariffs between Canada and the United States will affect growth and inflation before adjusting the policy rate.

If city, valley, and lake views are high on your wishlist, Turtle Mountain needs to be on your radar. ☕🌅

​Started in 2006, this community has proven its value while still offering space for new builds. Most homes here are low-maintenance ranchers with walkout basements—ideal if you want main-level living without a ton of weekend yard work.

​Plus, having direct access to the Grey Canal Trail right in your backyard is a major bonus for daily walks and taking in the views. 🌲

​Quick Snapshot:

• Duplexes: Starting around $825K

• Single-Family: Starting just north of $1M

• Location: 7 min or less to downtown, north-end shopping, Kal Tire Place, and the new Active Living Centre

I talk a lot about real estate, but let's play 'dream scenario' for a second. Money is no object: If you could retire anywhere in Canada, where are you setting up shop? Lakefront, mountain town, ocean view, or big city?
