But here’s something only the savviest buyers realize:This summer might actually be the best time to buy in years.

Also when I come home over the summer what should I do with the property as for roughly 2 months I would be about 4 hours away which would not be ideal for a young investor.

Summer is here, and with it comes increased demand on your air conditioning system.

More inventory, steady prices, and quicker closings = a strong summer market for buyers & sellers alike!

By November you enter the holiday season.All my LTR leases are written to expire in late spring or early summer.  

As I have a lot of time on my hands right now (on summer break from college), I wanted to learn a little bit about real estate in Canada.

When I vet a future-proof market, I’m watching for:Improving habitability: Milder summers, cooler nights, stable air quality, lower flood and fire risk.Water security: Access to groundwater, rivers, or steady rainfall.Lower wildfire exposure: Coastal edges or greener corridors where burn risk is historically lower.Existing migration momentum: People already relocating from higher-risk zones like the Southwest or parts of Northern California.Cost of living: Still affordable enough that buyers, retirees, and remote workers aren’t priced out.Business/food pivots: Watch vineyards, growers, and small ag operations — many are migrating north for better growing conditions.Coastal Edges Are Back in PlayOne of the most interesting shifts?
