Canadian Housing Demand and Prices Slide Further in March

 

On April 15, 2025, it was reported that home sales in Canada dropped again in March. Sales fell by 4.8% from February, and overall sales are now 20% lower than they were in November 2024. Experts believe this drop is mostly due to concerns about new tariffs and the uncertainty they bring. The biggest declines were seen in Ontario and British Columbia, but almost every region in Canada has been affected. People are becoming more cautious about buying homes, unsure of what will happen with the economy.

Compared to March 2024, home sales were down 9.3%, making it the lowest March total since 2009. Even though the number of newly listed homes went up by 3%, prices continued to fall. The MLS® Home Price Index dropped by 1% from the previous month and was 2.1% lower than a year ago. The actual average home price also dropped 3.7% compared to March last year, showing that the market is clearly slowing down.


Overall, right now, it would not be fun to be living in Toronto, especially owning a condo in the city. They always feel the hit worse.

Oh, and did you know, you can refinance your property to cover the renovations!?



AI is crazy!

 

I was playing around with AI and so forth, this is a picture it made of me! There was a bit of a trend going on a few weeks ago, so thought I'd try.

I also tried the voice/video one. The video part was good, the voice, far off. Gave me some weird accents!

Soon enough you won't know if it's me or not!!



Mother's Day!

 

A Tribute to All Moms on Mother’s Day

We pause to celebrate the women whose love is the foundation of our lives—our mothers.

To all the moms who nurtured us from our very first breath, who stayed up through sleepless nights, who cheered us on when we struggled, and who stood by us when we stumbled—you are the quiet strength behind every step we take. Your sacrifices often go unseen, but they are deeply felt in the hearts you've shaped and the lives you've guided.

You are teachers, healers, protectors, and dream-builders. You give without expecting, love without conditions, and show up even when the world feels too heavy. Whether you're a birth mom, adoptive mom, stepmom, grandmother, or a mother figure in someone’s life—your impact is immeasurable.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the warmth of your embrace, the wisdom in your words, and the power of your presence. Thank you for every hug, every lesson, and every moment you gave of yourself.

You are appreciated. You are admired. You are loved.

Happy Mother’s Day.
