community hub.
To us, it isn’t just about real estate; it’s about building something much bigger: COMMUNITY.
This hub is designed to spotlight our local businesses, events, and hidden gems that make this area so special. It’s about celebrating the people and places that give our community its unique charm, along with sharing tips on life, mindset, and, of course, a few real estate insights.
But here’s the best part: this isn’t just a collection of my favourite spots—it’s a reflection of YOU, the community. Every recommendation and feature is sourced from the people who make this place what it is.
Let’s share, connect, and uplift one another.

The Market Is Moving, Just More Slowly The real estate market in Burlington and the surrounding areas - from Waterdown to Hamilton - is still very much alive, just taking a gentler pace this fall.
I always say I’m not the weatherman… I can’t actually predict what’s going to happen in real estate. And truthfully, I’d rather be upfront than promise sunshine only for it to start pouring rain.
We’re seeing strong activity, quick sales, and lots of interest… but make no mistake - it’s still a strong buyer’s market. If you are a seller and want to sell this fall - preparation and pricing are everything.
Showings are up. Confidence is creeping back in. But buyers? Some are still tossing out really low offers just to see what sticks. Sellers are getting wise. Pricing smart. Holding steady.
The market’s in a bit of a stop-and-go rhythm. More homes are hitting the market, but buyers are cautious. Homes that are priced right + thoughtfully presented are getting results - confusion tactics are turning buyers away.
April’s market was a bit of a mixed bag—much like the weather. Homes priced under $1M are seeing more movement, while higher-priced listings are taking longer to sell. Buyers are definitely out there and actively looking, but many are still holding back on making a move.
Yes, the real estate market can feel uncertain. And yes, there’s a lot of noise. But here’s what I know for sure: your personal timing matters more than the headlines.
Right now, we’re in the freezing mountains—peaks and valleys everywhere. Some homes (especially at lower price points) are still seeing competition, while others? Sitting still. For the most part, we’re in a deep freeze.
While there's always uncertainty as to where what 2025 holds in store, the market is feeling fairly balanced.
I’m defining this month as a “tug of war” between buyers and sellers and quite frankly I’m not sure who the winner is…

If you’re starting your own home journey, you don’t have to do it alone. I would be honoured to walk with you.
It feels like a dream to be fully supported, to be trusted, and to know I can pour into others without losing myself.
Let’s give ourselves permission to honour the space between the beginning and the becoming. To practice patience not as waiting, but as trusting.
Confidence isn’t about being perfect or always having the answers. It’s about trusting yourself, even in the unknown. It’s about showing up as you are - knowing you’ll figure it out as you go.
I took everything I’ve lived, everything I’ve learned, and all the tools I use daily - and shaped it into something tangible for us to use when collaborating.
Last week, I hosted Sales Without the Ick—a space for women in business to show up fully as themselves, without pressure or performance. Because when we stop trying to “sell” and start simply sharing, everything shifts.
Challenges will come and go. And every single time - We find a way through. Because your dreams still matter. Your future is still yours. And nothing external gets to take that away.
After a lot of reflection (and some big feelings), I’ve decided to join Real Brokerage—a move that feels so aligned with how I want to show up for YOU.
Is this an exciting time for you, filled with things to look forward to? Or are you feeling a bit burned out, ready to slow down and embrace the colder months?
Honestly, without COVID, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be who I am now, living this life I’m living.
