We really enjoy living in Markham and I always share this with all my real estate clients. With the weather getting better (FINALLY) we were able to take my son yesterday for ice cream and then to Milne Park where he insisted on chasing after the Geese in the park! Poor Geese but he was very polite and continuously said "bye ducky" when we were leaving the park.
Today we will be heading to the zoo to see the new polar bear exhibit that opened yesterday! He will be so excited.
Being in Markham as we are in close proximity to several activities for the kids.
This weekend I will be doing 2 open houses if anyone is in the area or looking in the Markham/Pickering area:
Saturday 2-4pm 16 Sir Gawaine Pl, Markham - $499K
Sunday 2-4pm 3895 Kinsale Rd, Pickering -$339K

Hello out there!
This is my official first blog. I have been specializing in Real Estate throughout the Greater Toronto Area ranging from Oakville/Mississauga to Markham/Ajax. Real Estate is my passion and I enjoy helping families finding their dream home. First time buyers are also a specialty of mine as I enjoy helping new home owners make one of their biggest decisions in their life.
Real Estate has to be looked at more then purchasing or selling a home but an investment. Real Estate can guarantee you a larger return then the stock market and at a lower risk. We have all seen the stock market go up and down over the past couple years and is still in that state. In Canada we have been fortunate inlike the Americans as our government has made proper decisions to protect home owners. Unlike the American house crisis, the housing market in Canada has remained stable and has began to pick up again. Even though our real estate market slowed down the house prices didn't fall. The slow down was a result of the American media making Canadian consumers cautious.
With interest rates starting to inch up and the regain in consumer confidence we are seeing the Real Estate market starting to pick up and push the house prices up once again. In Markham and across Ontario we are seeing multi offers again.
In the past month I was very fortunate to work with 4 first time buyers and found them homes of which they are all proud of and excited to start their lives in. Congratulations to David, Fonis, Mishele, Bobbie.
