This 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom charmer in the heart of This 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom charmer in the heart of Yonge and St.Clair has just been sold and we are honoured to have represented the sellers!

Here is how we prepped their home for sale:

✅ Sent in a cleaner to shine the home from top to bottom.
✅ Had our stager use her creative mind to design the space to show case all its beauty.
✅ We coordinated the home inspection in advance to give him and any interested buyers peace of mind about the condition of the property.

After all the finishing touches were done, brought in our brilliant marketing team to take, photos, drone shots, videos, virtual tour and floor plans.

Our tireless efforts and commitment we poured into this listing paid off! After dozens of buyers had seen the property in person (and hundreds online), our sellers was happy with the offer they accepted. 🔥

It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with our sellers through this process! 🥰

Are we headed into a recession? There are conflic Are we headed into a recession?

There are conflicting opinions about a Canadian recession. Some say we’re experiencing a technical recession, others are partial to the idea of a rolling recession, while others have cleverly coined a new phrase, “richsession.”

We’re here to help make some sense of the situation. 👊

Our journey with these amazing clients began back Our journey with these amazing clients began back in May when we first met at a North York building, one of the two areas we narrowed down for their search. The chemistry was instant, and they came with high hopes - to say goodbye to their shared accommodation and find their second dream home.

After months of showings, we found the perfect gem, as they narrowed down their ideal property. It was priced just right and we knew it was 'the one.'

We're excited for our clients as they eagerly look forward to their next chapter. Congratulations! 🎉🗝️

Would you buy a home without seeing it? 😬 You Would you buy a home without seeing it? 😬

You can... but is it a good idea? ⬇️

We live in an age where most home buyers leverage online tools. With virtual and 3D tours, you’re able to tour homes and get a good understanding of the layout all from the comfort of your couch! 🛀

Does this mean we’re entering a new age where people buy property without ever stepping foot in the home in real life? 🤖

Probably not. However, depending on your situation, it’s still an option that can help.

What’s happening in the Toronto Real Estate Mark What’s happening in the Toronto Real Estate Market!? ⬇️

During the summer, we saw an 0.25 point interest rate hike that really affected the home sales in August. We saw:

📉5.2% less transactions when compared to August 2022, but relatively the same amount of transactions as July 2023

💰 Little to no change in the average-sale price of homes

🏡 16.2% increase in listings compared to August 2022

What does this really all mean for you? 🧐

As a buyer, you have options! 🙌 The market is balanced and there are more homes for you to view and offer on. This leaves you with room for negotiation and the opportunity to find a home with all your checkboxes ticked!

As a seller, it’s time to strategize. 🎯 With the current interest rates and economic trends, you’re not entering into bidding wars anytime soon. Pricing and marketing your property the right way is going to be crucial in selling your home.

As an investor, you need to really dig deep to find that lucrative deal. 🕵️‍♀️ With immigration levels this year, the demand for housing will continue to be there. That’s why finding the right property that will appreciate and cashflow for the long-term is very important.

Selling your first home and then buying a home rig Selling your first home and then buying a home right after can be stressful and daunting...

But working with the right people it doesn't have to be!

Stacey writes, "We are so grateful for the support we received from Heather and The Christine Cowern Team. As a first-time seller, I appreciated Heather’s amazing communication, availability, empathy, experience and knowledge. She made the selling process so painless and I was amazed at how quickly my condo sold in an unpredictable market. Heather was incredibly helpful when looking to purchase a home in Toronto. Most of the homes we were considering needed renovations. Because of Heather’s background as a contractor, she was able to provide us with information about the scope of work that each house needed and approximate costs. We found an amazing home within a few weeks of looking and are excited to move in!"
