Your condo lost value. So you should wait until it comes back before moving… right?

Maybe not.

Imagine you bought your condo for $525K and today it's worth $395K.

That's a $130K drop. 😬

But the home you want went from $1.2M to $900K.

The move-up gap actually shrunk by $170K.

That's the number I think a lot of condo owners are missing.

If you're planning to move up, don't just ask:

“How much did I lose on my condo?”

Ask:

“What's the gap between what I own and what I want today?”

Sometimes the best market isn't when your current home is worth the most. It's when the gap to your next home is smaller.

Your condo is down $130,000.

Sounds terrible, right?

But what if the home you want to move into is down $300,000?

A lot of condo owners are understandably focused on what they paid a few years ago versus what their condo is worth today.

But if you're thinking about moving up, that may be the wrong number to focus on.

The gap to the next home has actually shrunk by $170K.

Sometimes the best time to move isn't when your current home is worth the most.

It's when the gap to the home you want is smaller.

Before deciding to wait for your condo to “come back,” run the numbers on what moving would actually cost today.

Should buyers wait until September?
It's a question I'm hearing more and more.
With the long weekend here, new listings have slowed, and many buyers are wondering if they should just wait for more inventory.
My take? Quieter markets often create some of the best buying opportunities. Sellers with stale listings may be more motivated, while September typically brings more inventory—but also more competition.

We can hold a rate until mid-march. If interest rates go down we can float that rate down. If interest rates go up, you've locked in a good rate!

Should you consolidate debt into your mortgage? It might cost you.

AI is about to change how people get mortgages.

Soon, it will underwrite files, check income and down payment docs, and even feel empathetic. But will that be enough?

In this quick video, I break down what this means for borrowers—and why the human touch still matters.

Would you trust an AI mortgage broker?

📢 Mortgage Rate Update – Week of June 2

Here’s what’s happening in the mortgage market this week:

✔️ No Bank of Canada rate change expected
✔️ Fixed rates are stable for now but under upward pressure
✔️ Variable rates continue to lag behind
✔️ A 5-year fixed rate is currently a smart option for many borrowers

If you're buying, renewing, or refinancing, it’s a great time to review your plan.

🌷🌼💐 It’s gardening season!

Ania and I were excited to add some pops of colour to the front yard, so we headed off to the gardening centre where we had a field day picking from the huge variety available.

We settled on a colourful assortment of petunias and we also got some hostas for variety.

Then we got to work.

Ania was the director.😒

Pepper supervised from the walkway.😸

We’re happy with the way it turned out! And aside from a little weeding, it should be pretty low maintenance.

How’s your garden coming along this year?

🍩 Happy Donut Day!

Wait, is it “doughnut” or “donut”? 🤔

Who cares! They’re delicious!

As you can see, my daughter Stephanie agrees. So, we made a batch to celebrate. (Actually, every day would be Donut Day in our house if we allowed it.😄)

Donut fun facts:

Both spellings are correct. That settles that debate. 🤷🏼‍♂️

▫️Krispy Kreme sells the world’s most expensive donuts. Sprinkled with edible gold leaf & diamonds, it sells for just over $1,000!

▫️ Canda’s beloved donut shop, Tim Horton’s, opened in 1964 in Hamilton, ON.

Bonus fun fact:

🤫 I worked part-time at Tim Horton's on the drive-thru window when I was in university. 5:00am starts and then class afterwards.

If you’re wondering, my favourite donut is honey glaze, but I’m also a sucker with anything with sprinkles on it.

(Psst, don’t tell the kids I ate the last sprinkle donut. 😬)

Ok, your turn. What donut will you be eating today?
