Mike puts his 22 years in real estate to test, identifying the overlooked influencing factors, to arrive at a forecast for the Canadian real estate market in 2023 that differs from much of the main stream media, whose primary motive is to turn heads and add up the online clicks.

Mike recounts events of the July 15th 2021 when an F2 Tornado passed through residential neighbourhoods in South Barrie Ontario, and a few things we can do better in preparation for such events.

With restaurants reopening once again (soon I hope) I thought I would list some of my favourites in Barrie. Let me know if I missed yours.

Joining us from warm and sunny Laguna Beach California, Terry LeClair ran a successful real estate Brokerage firm in Barrie for a number of years before trading it all in for warmer climate, and a Vice Presidential role with First Team Real Estate, one of Southern California's top Real Estate firms. He is also the Executive Vice President of Title Sales with Western Resources Title Company in California.

Whether you live in Barrie, The GTA or anywhere else, selling ones home can be a truly emotional experience, especially if you have an accumulation of memories attached to that home.

It is also a daunting task, more so a series of daunting tasks, to prepare a home to sell, to then find your next place, to pack up and purge your possessions, and then to finally transport and fit your life and your belongings into a new and unfamiliar space at a new address. Those things don’t get easier in our latter years.

There has to be significant and good practical reason for most of us to want to move and especially to downsize our living accommodations.

So what are the signs it may genuinely be a good time and also be your time to consider downsizing? Let's take a look.

When buying or selling a home during the Covid-19 Pandemic, or any time, it is always sound advice to have a good Realtor® by your side, and even better advice to have a good lawyer working on your behalf, as there can be a seemingly endless number of challenges to each real estate transaction that are too often discovered the hard way. Mark Weisleder is my guest for this episode of Who Moves You?, Mark is a Senior Partner at RealEstateLawyers.ca and is well known for his best selling books and media presence covering the complexities of Ontario real estate law.

Mike gives some thoughts on how the real estate market may look in Central and South Central Ontario once Covid-19 has been put behind us. Doom and gloom may make for convenient headlines and click-bait to the print and internet media, but the reality is likely to be far from any worst case scenarios being floated by many of them. Have a listen.
