I truly appreciate all the support I’ve received. I may have a relatively small channel. I wanted to recognize you for being there.

It’s come in ways of comments, shares, mentions to me live, messages received.

Thank you for providing me with feedback - good, bad and ugly.
Thanks for sticking around. 💛

Part 2 - How do you handle when family don’t think it’s a good idea to go grey? 💛

Part 2 - To go grey or not to go grey.

This one is all about me family’s reaction to the idea.

The next one is about ageism.

08/11/2026

To go all grey or not. It’s something I typically don’t talk about on my social media.

I’m talking it through one video at a time.

There’s a lot to think about. What my family says. Will I look washed out, being so fair? What about ageism?

Stick with me as I go through the pros and cons. 💛

My daughters are gone, off building their own lives, their own chapters.
I’m so proud of who they’re becoming.
And yet stuff remains here.

Clothes in the closet. Kitchen wares in a box. Things they just didn’t have room to take with them.
So I’ve become the keeper of it all. Theirs and mine.
I know I’m not alone.
No wonder moving feels impossible for empty nesters.

When you are the keeper, of not only your own stuff, and save storage place for your kids stuff, downsizing seems out of reach.

Even now, having downsized, I’m still holding onto things that belong to both daughters.
When you feel the responsibility to hold on, it’s hard to move ahead to a smaller place.

Can you relate? 💛

In this 3rd video I’ve broken down what’s really happening in the Waterloo Region’s real@estate market.

It’s not as simple@as saying it’s a buyer or a seller’s market.

It’s about who recognizes that we have 4 different markets depending on what property type you are looking at.

Here’s what happening for each property type:
✨Detached are holding their own. Price it correctly and it will move.
✨ Semi-detached have less then 2 months inventory. Likely will be in multiple offers.
✨ Townhomes are in a balanced market - meaning have room@to negotiate.
✨ Condos inventory is growing. Now at 8.8 Months supply. Lots to choose from; lots of room@to negotiate.

Downsizing n the next 12-18 months offers a potential window for you to have room@to negotiate hard on the buy side for a condo or townhome. And sell knowing there are interested buyers.

If you’re thinking of moving in Waterloo Region’s real this is the moment to sit down and talk through which of these 4 markets applies to you.

DM me for a 15 minute chat to discuss your situation. 💛

Everyone are watching interest rates.

The real story is real home prices, adjusted for inflation, have dropped 47% since the Feb. 2022 peak. According to Ben Rabideau, who tracks these numbers.

Most will say the market is slowing down. Buyers are backing off.

What’s going on are sellers are still pricing as though it’s 2022. Buyers aren’t playing along anymore. There’s a weird stand off.

The edge isn’t going o either buyers or sellers.
The edge is hidden among this data.
I’ll show you in the next video. 💛

Things are shifting for Waterloo Region real estate.

We aren’t in one market we’re in at least 2 markets.

The gap between property types is widening.
Detached & Semi-Detached are holding their own with limited supply.
Townhomes are in a balanced market.
Condos continue to decline with almost 9 months supply!

There’s one number that threw me. I’ll touch on it in the next market update video later today.

Want an update on your specific situation if you’re thinking of downsizing in the next 18-24 months? DM me and we can set up a 15 minute call. 💛
