New property listed in Chatsworth

I have listed a new property at 135 Confederation Drive in Chatsworth. See details here

This custom-built raised bungalow is designed for anyone looking to simplify without sacrificing comfort or quality. Built in 2021, it offers a layout that feels easy, intentional, and well-suited to everyday living. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a newer subdivision in the village of Holland Centre, the home is surrounded by newer, well-kept properties, with a community park just a short walk up the street and the rail trail nearby. Inside, the main floor is bright and welcoming, with cathedral ceilings connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, and engineered hardwood floors add warmth throughout the main living space. A propane fireplace in the living room adds comfort and creates a natural gathering space. The kitchen is well organized and thoughtfully designed, featuring a central movable island, ample cabinetry, and a generously sized walk-in pantry. A door off the kitchen leads directly to the covered side deck, making it easy to step outside and BBQ all year round. The main floor primary bedroom is comfortably oversized and includes a sitting area, walkout access to the covered side deck, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with room to add a soaker tub. A separate laundry and mudroom provide direct access to the attached insulated steel-clad garage, offering everyday convenience and storage. The fully finished lower level features a large family room with a propane fireplace, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and storage, offering flexible space for older children, guests, or everyday living. Outside, the yard is well-maintained and easy to manage, with plenty of room for gardening, along with a 10x20 shed, an asphalt driveway completed in 2024, ample parking, and a hydro hookup for a camper or RV. This thoughtfully planned home is a great fit for those looking to downsize without giving up comfort, or for families looking for a well-planned, move-in-ready home that's easy to live in.

I have sold a property at 20 McGregor Court in Southgate

I have sold a property at 20 McGregor Court in Southgate on Jan 21, 2026. See details here

This bungalow feels good the moment you walk in. The main level is open concept with a cathedral ceiling that makes the whole space feel light and easy. The living room has a gas fireplace that quietly anchors the room, and the kitchen has plenty of storage and counter space so everyday cooking actually feels relaxed instead of crowded. There is space for people to chat, prep, taste test, or just hang out while dinner comes together. All 3 bedrooms on this level are a comfortable size, and the primary includes a 3-piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. The lower level is flexible and works well for real life. The family room and wet bar make Friday movie nights or sports nights something to look forward to. The den has a walk-in closet and could become a bedroom if the window is enlarged. There's also a 2-piece bath that has the plumbing and room to add a shower, plus a huge laundry room, storage space, and a smaller room behind the wet bar that works well as a pantry, hobby room, or just extra storage. Forced air natural gas heat and central air conditioning keep things comfortable year-round. Outside is where summer truly shows off. The back deck is oversized with a covered area for the BBQ or smoker, and there is room to enjoy both sun and shade. A pergola, a firepit area, and space to spread out make it the kind of backyard where you look up and realize you have spent half the evening outside without even noticing. The home has been very well cared for and is genuinely move-in ready. It sits on a quiet street with a cul-de-sac and a trail just a few doors away that leads right to the park. It works well for a family or for anyone who likes the comfort of main-floor living but still wants that extra space downstairs for weekend fun or everyday function.

New property listed in Grey Highlands

I have listed a new property at 13 Collingwood Street in Grey Highlands. See details here

The Oscar Phillips House is one of those homes people already feel connected to before they ever step inside. Sitting proudly at the top of the hill, it has a presence that quietly stands out and draws you in. Built in 1904, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with original character that you simply cannot recreate. The original wood floors and trim bring warmth and authenticity, while the windows throughout the home flood the space with natural light. The tall ceilings in the original section of the main floor make each room feel open, bright, and far more spacious than you would expect from a home of this era. The living room is oversized and full of flexibility. It could remain a generous gathering space, or be reimagined to create a main floor fourth bedroom, home office, den, or toy room while still maintaining a comfortable living area. This kind of layout adaptability is rare and adds so much value for growing or changing households. Upstairs, the large four-piece bathroom is a standout. Its size allows for a complete redesign, with room for a walk-in shower and a standalone soaker tub, turning it into a true spa-style space if that is your vision. The back addition adds everyday practicality to the charm. A spacious mudroom entrance opens directly into the family room, creating a natural hub for daily life. The main floor three-piece bathroom is perfectly placed for convenience, especially for families or guests. Under the addition, a large storage room provides something older homes often lack: dedicated and functional storage space. This home offers the best of both worlds. Historic character paired with thoughtful spaces and endless potential. Whether your plans are gradual updates or a full transformation, the foundation is here to create something truly special. *NOTE: the driveway access is off of Peter Street.

How’s the Market - December 2025

As of January 1, there were 200 active listings on the market, and we saw 28 sales in the month of December. That’s a strong number of sales for what is typically a quieter time of year. December actually proved to be fairly busy, including with showings, which tells us buyers are still paying attention and still ready to move when the right home comes along.

This is also why pricing continues to matter so much. If you’re not getting showings, you’re not getting offers. But if you are getting showings and still not getting offers, that can be just as frustrating, if not more. It usually means buyers are interested, but something about the price or presentation isn’t quite lining up with their expectations. Both situations are important signals, just different ones.

To put things into perspective, in December 2024 there were only 19 sales. This past December we had 28, which is a big jump for a December and a really positive sign of buyer activity.

One thing I can see clearly from the back end is that online views remain high. There are a lot of people actively looking, watching, and keeping an eye on the market from the sidelines. Even when they’re not ready to move immediately, they’re paying attention and getting informed, which is always a strong indicator of future activity.
