Very nice to receive this Q4 notice today. Year end stats will be out soon and I am excited and looking forward to the entire year wrap up.
I am feeling very grateful. Beyond thankful for all the people who have chosen to place their trust & confidence in my services to represent them & achieve their success.
Integrity & work ethic wins.
I have included the 2nd and 3rd Quarter Achievement Awards as well as I was a little busy and did not get a chance to post them!
Hello & Happy 2024 to anyone who happens to be interested in the market enough to read my blog post : ) Wishing you the best of all things and especially your health and peace in 2024. Protect this with all you can and the rest of your goals are likely to fall into place.
With many still affected by affordability and unable to qualify for a mortgage, which includes being able to meet the criteria with the “stress test” in place — we will be watching as the early days before spring market unfolds to see where the market is going. Is there pent-up demand, is there affordability and/or enough consumer confidence to boost the spring market? Will there be enough listings or a constrained supply? This all remains to be seen. I do not predict markets but I do watch them closely. I will say there is an uptick in showing requests and potential buyers in my anecdotal experience. I will keep updates happening so you may be informed as the market unfolds.
December 2023 transactions were up from October & November 2023. October to November 2023 Sales were a lower number of transactions/sales compared to October & November 2020 and 2021 and slightly lower than 2022…so it was not hard to beat.
The Year over Year Comparison shows December 2023 number of transaction/sales were up slightly from December 2022 number of transactions/sales, but still not as high amount as December 2020 or 2021 sales. The increase in the number of December 2023 sales could have to do with the interest rate pause after the 3 previous Bank of Canada rate announcements. Perhaps this has instilled some consumer confidence. There were also some slightly adjusted-down mortgage rate options being offered at some providers – some fixed rates were achieved at 4.99% or 4.74%. This too could have been a reason for the December 2023 slight uptick in number of sales. Seasonally, December is not a great market indicator as it is traditionally a low volume sales month.
The Sales-to-New-Listings ratio is up 15% December 2023 compared to December 2022.
The inventory of New Listings is down 6.6% compared too December 2022. We will need to watch and see how much inventory becomes available as if the supply tightens the normal affects of supply and demand usually play out…increasing average prices.
Finally the piece many are interested in. The average sale price on TRREB® for the month of December 2023 was $1,084,692.00 which is up 3.2% from the $1,050,569.00 average price for the previous December 2022.
“Property Days on Market” were 49 days as of December 2023 which is 22.5% longer than the 40 days on market noted as of December 2022.
IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW: Property Days on Market is a more clear picture of how long a property takes to sell – as listing days on market can be “reset” if a listing is expired or terminated and then it gets relisted on the system. The agent “refreshes” the listing, as they say. It is still the same property they are trying to sell and close to the same time period — but it seems like a NEW listing but just has a new MLS® number and a reset start date for when they listed it… This makes it appear that it has not been on the market for as long as it actually has been (but under a previous MLS® number.)
The stat for the “Listing Days On Market” you can see it is lower for as they only count from the date of the “new listing” even if it was on market prior before setting a new MLS number and “refreshing” it. Listing Days On Market were noted as only 32 Days on Market as of December 2023 which is an increase of 18.5% compared to December 2022 when they noted 27 Days on the market.
Call if any questions or to discuss this information. I am currently setting up my portfolio of new listings for the coming Spring Market and it is the best time to get your property readied for sale and evaluated so we can hit the ground running to get you listed in the best possible time frame. Please do not hesitate to call with any inquiries or if you are interested in purchasing or selling a property.
See in below the Charts showing the comparison for the December Market statistics for Sales, New Listings, Sales to New Listings, and Yearly Sales as compared to 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
HAVE A HEALTHY, JOYFUL & SUCCESSFUL 2024 IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS!
PEACE & COMFORT WISHES TO ALL IN THE COMING NEW YEAR.
A CHEERS TO THE RINGING IN OF THE NEW YEAR
A PAUSE TO APPRECIATE THE PAST & ALL GOOD THINGS WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE EXPERIENCED!

At a certain time of life there is a changing of the guard, so to speak. This is that time and this means a big opportunity for the next owner to be able to enjoy this rarely found gem. This home had the same owner since the early 70’s and was originally built in 1955. A Classic Canadian Brick bungalow style still very popular and purposeful today. The most unique and rare part of this is the size of the land it is situated on.
A lot size more scarce each day. Surrounded in natures’ splendour. This home is sited on a 76ft x 200ft lot surrounded by impressive, old-growth trees & perennial gardens, providing illusive Privacy.
The home has been enjoyed by a lifetime of love and family. It is very well kempt as evidenced by the Home Inspection report we just has done as a pre-inspection to selling – available for your review.
This home features updated furnace, copper wiring and newer windows and shingles. You can move in and relax…and plan your edits to the garden and landscape — or maybe you want to just light a back yard small bonfire over thanksgiving weekend to toast marshmallows around and decide if you like the natural trees and plants just fine as it is.
Take a short stroll to the Lake and skip stones from Lookout point. This is the perfect time to purchase this home and watch as the leaves bring their Autumn colourscape.
This home is Vacant & move-in ready. It can be easily enjoyed as is or it provides a clean slate ~ a sweet backdrop for your upgrade preferences. You can afford to go more high end on your upgrade materials with an easy-sized house as it is less materials cost…but many may just like to keep it simple and skip the reno altogether. Some may go even bigger with their plans and add on to this lovely home since you can always change a home but you can rarely find this much of a private lot in the Town of Cobourg anymore that allows for expansion of a larger home.
Enjoy the richness of the Refinished Oak flooring along with newly-laid Laminate flooring in the bedrooms and lower level. AFully carpet-free home. The quaint, crisp, compact & well-kempt kitchen jas a pretty window to the yard and walks out to a large south facing deck overlooking the park-like setting.
The Side entrance leads to a fully finished LL inlaw unit featuring just-installed Laminate flring, a 3pce Bath, 2 BRs & a kitchenette – which brings the potential for Apt. to offset the cost of living (all requirements to be check with the town of course for any codes and retrofit as needed) Or simpley enjoy the lower level as bonus Rec Room and added bedrooms and bath space to your family.
This sought-after location is just a happy 5 min stroll to the Lakefront, Parks, Great Schools, Trails, Playgrounds, Convenience Stores. It is about a 2 km walk to Downtown amenities, beach, marina. A perfect bungalow in an enclave neighbourhood of low-density, maturely-landscaped homes on a “dead end” street w/ low traffic.

Attended an invigorating Art Exhibit Opening event for a former client who’s art I have very much enjoyed in past. Her fashion illustrations have been very impressive and she has now entered into a new style era of abstract art full of colour. This exhibit opening was at The Art Gallery of Northumberland in downtown Cobourg. The extremely enjoyed and well-attended Opening was Saturday August 12th at 1 p.m.
Click on the photo below for a Link to my photos of the event/opening.
Forever Lately with artist Shelagh Joy Stewart (Joy is her middle name and it shows! 💐) #atagn #artgalleryofnorthumberland
Exhibit is available for you to view in @downtowncobourg through September 30th
Suggestion: Go view these beautiful and bright works of art, and enjoy checking out some of the downtown shops and cafes or restaurants before or after!
Attended almost all the 6 businesses’ Ribbon Cutting 🎉Grand Openings in 🛍️ Downtown Cobourg this morning. Lots of great conversations and happy energy! Especially pleased for my client @Compassionate Heart Home Care for filling a very needed void in the area. If you are needing home care advice or PSW support be certain to reach out staff for their compassionate guidance. 🙏🫶 Some new owners literally just had pulled all nighters to be sure they can open today ~ a testament to their energy & likelihood for success since nothing will stop their drive! (Hope The Fabled Bean gets some rest soon ☺️ ) Their iced latte shocked me at first sip ~ it was soooo good. You can really taste the difference of the roast in their brew! Wow factor! I did not get to Mending Roots opening – or have a chance to sample Lalie’s & The Dutch today but I’ve enjoyed them so much at the Farmer’s Market before. I love how they transformed the former Dutch Oven space. Clothier retailer “Bon Bon” is a trip and I cannot wait to head back to the 90’s to shop there🛍️🙃 The gentlemen from Sense Home & Garden were looking as spectacular as their beautiful building did. All very regal, gracing the Main Street. I’m sorry I missed out on Mending Roots..but will drop by to learn more about their business soon. The paparazzi were all around – me being one! Hope you enjoy the random shots. There are better, more official photos to be shared around I’m sure. Due to schedule conflicts I missed the last 10 or so Grand Openings in the recent couple of months (sadly as many were my commercial clients.) I was very happy to be able to participate today. Its always a joyful time to wish new businesses well on their launch, which I used to do on behalf of the Chamber and/or when commercial clients launched. Nice to see the Mayor, Councillors, DBIA, and business partners out to support. Be sure to consider Downtown Cobourg as it just keeps getting more vibrant & successful. Many fantastic new businesses have launched. You may be quite surprised! Congratulations to all in this exciting phase. Thanks for letting us all welcome you.
