Julie's Scoop
Happy cool & wet May! Let’s hope this rain does bring even bigger flowers! Let's not discuss the Leafs now that the Leafs are out of the playoffs.
Hope all is well! The Spring market is humming along, there has definitely been an uptick in listings, and not as many multiple offers, but it is neighbourhood and property dependent, ie. trendy hot spots or really well priced homes see competition.
We’re loving our new partnership of the Farquhar Advantage with The Julie Kinnear Team, bringing together two of the most respected names in real estate. With decades of experience and a proven track record, this collaboration is determined to deliver unparalleled expertise, personalized service, and exceptional results.
It is exciting to hear how much all our clients are enjoying an elevated real estate experience!
On a personal note, my Mom Brenda and I recently returned from Provence France to celebrate her special 80th birthday trip. It was an absolutely lovely adventure. Feeling very grateful.
guiding you home™,
Julie, Jay, Courtney and Ruairi

📊 Toronto Market Update – April 2025
Market Insights from Ruairi:
April Market Snapshot: 3 Key Takeaways:
1. Supply Outpacing Demand
Sales were down 23% compared to last year, while listings increased. This is putting downward pressure on prices across the board. There simply aren’t enough active buyers in the market to absorb current inventory levels.
2. Pockets of Competition Still Exist
Despite the overall market favouring buyers, well-priced homes under $1.5M in desirable neighbourhoods are still attracting multiple offers. This shows that quality and price point still drive demand.
3. Confidence, Not Just Rates, Is Holding Buyers Back
Interest rates are off their peak and selection is strong, but many buyers remain cautious. Ongoing economic uncertainty, including job security and trade concerns, is keeping them on the sidelines. If confidence returns, so will more competition.
