Today I had the pleasure of working with a great Buyer's agent and my wonderful sellers to make everyone's dreams come true.
My Sellers now have peace of mind that they can move into their "Dream Home" in January 2013 and feel good about the price and service they received on the selling of their first home to another first home buyer.
It was really nice to see the smiles and the hugs and genuine care and concern that both sides were provided.

Selling your home can be stressful enough. That is why the right Listing Agent is so important. Work with someone you can trust, someone you can get a hold of, someone who returns your calls and texts right away or as soon as possible. Not someone who takes your business for granted. Your home is your biggest investment and you deserve to be treated as such.

Rightsizing Your Home
Is Rightsizing Right For You?
Over our lifetimes, we may change homes many times for
many reasons. When the move is to a larger, more spacious
home, weʼre conditioned to feel a sense pride and
accomplishment. When the move is to a smaller living space,
however, the decision can seem much harder to make.
The truth is choosing to downsize presents a real opportunity.
Itʼs actually a chance to right size and gives you a signed
permission slip to begin the hunt for a new home that offers
you the lifestyle that youʼve been dreaming of.
Think of these scenarios.
With a baby on the way, a The Petersonsʼ decide to move into
a smaller apartment and give up the rental home theyʼve been
sharing with friends since college. It may be a cozy one, but
having their own space to raise a new family provides them
with a chance to build memories once baby makes three.
After landing a new role that requires frequent travel, Sara
Smythe opts to make a switch from a suburban townhouse to a
small city condo with airport access so itʼs easy to pack up and
go. Sheʼll be a short taxi away from her girlfriends when she is
back in town though who wants to leave that indoor pool and
sauna...
Finally, as empty nesters, The McDonaldsʼ decide they no
longer need so many extra bedrooms to keep tidy or so much
lawn to mow. They choose to move into a fully maintained
community where they can own a 2 bedroom bungalow with
less upkeep. Theyʼre able spend time exploring interests and
playing grandkids instead of managing household chores.
Though itʼs easy to highlight the bright side in these scenarios,
In your own life this might be a situation wrought with emotion
and so many questions: What will life be like with far less
space? What will we do with all our STUFF? What will the
extended family think?
All of these uncertainties can be resolved with the help of a
realtor whose mission is to help you choose a new home
based on the lifestyle you want (like less yard maintenance
and more budget for travel). A great realtor will also help you to
plan for your new space or recommend help from within their
trusted professional network of organizers, storage providers,
interior decorators and more.
Remember, rightsizing is about transitioning into a home that is
right for YOU, right now. Being free to live the lifestyle that you
want is so full of possibility and thatʼs always a good thing.

December 2012 Market Watch
Second-Best Year on Record for Sales
January 5, 2012 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,718 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in December 2011. The December result capped off the second-best year on record under the current Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) boundaries. Total sales for 2011 amounted to 89,347 – up four per cent in comparison to 2010.“Low borrowing costs kept Buyers confident in their ability to comfortably cover their mortgage payments along with other major housing costs,” said TREB President Richard Silver. “If Buyers had not been constrained by a shortage of listings over the past 12 months, we would have been flirting with a new sales record in the Greater Toronto Area,” added Silver.The average selling price in December was $451,436 – up four per cent compared to December 2010. For all of 2011, the average selling price was $465,412, an increase of eight per cent in comparison to the average of $431,276 in 2010.“Months of inventory remained below the pre-recession norm in 2011. Very tight market conditions meant substantial competition between Buyers and strong upward pressure on selling prices,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.“TREB’s baseline forecast for 2012 is for an average price of $485,000, representing a more moderate four per cent annual rate of price growth. This baseline view is subject to a heightened degree of risk given the uncertain global economic outlook,” continued Mercer.

Pickering Mayors Gala 2011
Well everyone on Saturday, I had the extreme pleasure of attending the Mayor's Gala in Pickering with our Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues. It was a fabulous affair at the Pickering Rec Centre.
As many of you are aware, this was Pickering's BiCentennial Year. All of the funds raised for this year's Gala went directly back to the community to support those in need. For example, Epilepsy Durham Region is committed to promoting independence and optimal quality of life for individuals living with epilepsy; the Children's Wish Foundation provides a once in a lifetime experience for children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses; and FOOTPRINTS provides respite services for families with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Finally, the Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering Hospital will receive the remaining funds which will go towards the Image is Everything MRI campaign.
Pictures of the event are hosted on http://www.hadaball.com/ .... Definitely a night to remember. Durham Region is a great place to live and raise your families.
Thanks Peter for the invitation and to all our Durham Council for their efforts and hard work to keep our Region one of the best there is to live in !!
