Market Update Chats with Chris & Colin

Posted on: August 28th, 2024 by Chris Scott

After a fantastic team meeting discussing the latest market trends, we decided to share our insights with you. This past week has been a busy one, with four conditional sales and a noticeable uptick in buyer activity. We’re seeing a range of dynamics – from competitive offers on new listings over a million dollars to increased interest in properties that have been on the market for a while. We’re also keeping a close eye on potential interest rate changes, with optimism around rates coming down soon. This could create more opportunities for both buyers and sellers in a market that feels balanced and full of potential. If you’re looking to buy or sell, or just want to chat about your neighbourhood’s unique market trends, our team is here to help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The CAF Clients Who Changed My Career Path

Posted on: August 13th, 2024 by Chris Scott

In 2008, I had the opportunity to work with Anny and Martin, a couple who were part of a BGRS move. What started as a regular real estate transaction turned into something much more meaningful. Their positive attitude, trust, and openness made the experience memorable, and it ultimately shaped my career.

After helping them purchase their home, I realized how rewarding it was to work with military families. It wasn’t just about the transaction; it was about understanding their unique needs, especially during relocation. This experience led me to specialize in military real estate, and I’ve never looked back.

Sixteen years and four transactions later, Anny and Martin contacted me to list their home in Kingston. This wasn’t just another listing; it was a reminder of the ongoing relationship we had built and how much of my business I owe to them and others in the CAF community.

Working with military families is about more than just buying and selling homes—it’s about being there for them during significant transitions. Anny and Martin are a big reason I chose this path, and they continue to inspire me to do my best for every client.
