T H E S H I F T I N G R E A L E S TAT E M A R K E T Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER
Who could have imagined a global pandemic would cause such a rise in housing demand and prices? But here we are over two years later, and after a brief pause in activity during the first lockdown in 2020, house prices have been rising ever since. A mass exodus from Toronto condos and homes to more rural spaces coupled with record low interest rates established a trend that has continued into 2022. After two years of bidding wars and overinflated prices, the market finally seems to be poised for some sort of correction. But what does that mean? Is the market softening? Our real estate experts say no, there's no need to push the panic button. The market is simply shifting and adjusting after two years of turmoil. The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) explains that after explosive growth in the first quarter, the second half of 2022 should see "a more moderate pace of price growth" due to rising interest rates and a slight increase in inventory. Alex Irish from Alex Irish & Associates in Oakville explains, "The market is adjusting and becoming more balanced. It's been skewed for sellers and made it very difficult for buyers, but now we're seeing a market that favours both buyers and sellers." Alex reminds us that spring is typically a busy

selling season. The grass is green, pools are open, and homes look more attractive than in winter. Despite new restrictions on foreign buyers and interest rates on the rise, it's not enough to get people worried. Some buyers may be holding off, but many more are anxiously diving in now that they can compete. "Buyers are always optimistic that prices will drop," says Alex. "They recognize a great opportunity as listings increase, and many have been waiting a long time to break into the market." While homes in desirable neighbourhoods are still going into multiple bids, sellers are no longer listing low and hoping to get well over asking. "Buyers are fatigued from the competition and many put purchasing a home on the back burner," explains Michael Brejnik from Royal LePage Burloak Real Estate Services in Burlington. "Stabilizing prices mean fewer bidding wars and a more traditional market, so buyers are looking again." Michael explains that there are now fewer listings with offer dates, which means homes have to be priced more accurately, rather than the practice which had become common of underpricing and holding offers on a specific date. This scenario gives buyers more confidence and the ability to negotiate, something they haven't been able to do in two years. Another factor that may be impacting the market is that homeowners who bought in 2017 when interest rates were very low now have mortgages coming up for renewal, and they may find that they can't afford the new payments. Some are looking for homes with rental apartments to create a source of income to help offset mortgage payments. Or they are forced to downsize or move out of the area. In other cases, buyers who were pre-approved at lower interest rates a few months ago now have 60-90 days left before their paperwork expires and they need to find something quickly. And then there are the buyers who left Toronto at the start of the pandemic and moved to the outskirts but now find they are going back to the city to socialize and work once restrictions were lifted. "People realize they're ok sharing common areas again, so some are heading back to the city," says Michael. Overall, the market is in flux, and multiple factors continue to affect buying and selling decisions. It's too soon to make solid predictions, but all indications point to a more balanced market which is good news for buyers and sellers.

6 GREAT
BATHROOM TRENDS TO TRY
Bathrooms aren’t just utilitarian spaces anymore; they’re becoming personalized, spa-like retreats. If you’re ready to hit refresh on your bathroom, these eight ideas will inspire you to turn this everyday space into a calming sanctuary.
1. ACCENT WALLS Homeowners and designers are increasingly using accent walls to amp up interest in the bathroom. These can be used to liven up a neutral palette or help draw focus to a show-stopping feature, such as a soaking tub or custom vanity. If you decide to add an accent wall to your bathroom, carefully choose which wall to showcase. Look to the features around or on the wall to help you decide. If you’re still not sure which wall is best, select the one most visible from the doorway.
2. FREESTANDING VANITIES Personalization continues to be a top priority for homeowners, and freestanding vanities (with their furniture-like appeal) present a great opportunity to add a custom look. Plus, freestanding vanities generally offer the same design and storage options as built-ins, but at a less expensive price point. Updating your vanity is one of the quickest ways to change the look of your bathroom without undertaking an entire remodel. To customize your freestanding vanity even further, swap out the hardware with pulls in your favorite metallic finish, then accessorize the countertop with a pretty tray or vase.

3. BLACK ACCENTS Though hardware and faucet finishes are one way to try this trend, you can also go with deep-hued vanities, black accent walls and even plumbing fixtures. Used sparingly, black accents can provide a pop of contrast in a traditional white bathroom. When applied liberally, black accents help foster a glamorous vibe.
4. NATURAL TONES AND TEXTURES As homeowners seek to create a calming space, subtle natural hues are on the rise. In addition, natural materials like wood and marble blend beautifully with a wide range of colour palettes. Whether you prefer a minimalist Scandinavian look, a rustic farmhouse vibe or a traditional feel, natural tones and textures work well with a variety of design styles. To help modernize the space, incorporate a small dose of black to ground the look.
5. DOUBLE VANITIES As the average house size increases, bigger master bathrooms mean more opportunities to incorporate convenient design elements like double vanities. Although double sinks can reduce the amount of usable counter space, many manufacturers are now addressing that issue with creative storage solutions. Vanities outfitted with power outlets, full-extension drawers and custom holders for grooming tools can help minimize clutter and make the most of limited space. Sideby-side vanities are another stylish choice with numerous customization options.
6. LARGE SHOWERS When space allows, homeowners are ditching the shower-bath combo and opting for a walk-in shower and equally luxurious tub. A larger shower area presents ample opportunity for introducing customization and spa-like extras. Add an element of luxury with built-in storage niches or a teak bench lined with pampering products. ©2022 Kathryn Weber. Distributed By Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
