It is rare to see back-to-back housing reports that feel like mirror images. Yet Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)’s data for June reads almost like a script re-run of May. Another modest rise in sales. Another month of flat prices. Another subtle shift in market dynamics that feels more whispered than shouted. In the lexicon of real estate, rebounds are often loud and unmistakable. But this one is quiet, deliberate, almost contemplative. Two months into what some hoped would be a sharp resurgence, Canada’s housing market instead moves with the slow, deliberate cadence of someone testing the ice before stepping…

Ten years ago today, I launched a small marketing agency to help real estate agents get more clients. I didn’t have a master plan. I had just been fired from a job, and bills were due. I was in talks with another company that was more “industry-adjacent” than in the industry.  I had bills to pay in the meantime, and so I figured I’d help agents with their marketing. I thought it might just be temporary until the new job happened. Then, in a couple of weeks, I had already started making more than I did at the job I…

Montreal’s housing market recovery has hit a wall this year, weighed down by trade tensions. Even with recent signs of easing in tariffs, the real estate market remains sluggish, according to RBC. Home resales fell an estimated two per cent from May to June — the third monthly decline in a row. Still, resales are holding up at what would have been considered solid levels before the pandemic. “June’s modest pullback may have more to do with fewer sellers entering the market than buyers shying away,” said Robert Hogue, RBC assistant chief economist, in his monthly market report.
