Greetings, friends! As winter approaches as the ski slopes start to open, a multitude of thrilling activities awaits you both in and beyond the city. I’ve personally curated some exceptional events for you to enjoy this month.

Now, let’s delve into the current housing market. In November, we’re observing a notable uptick of 1.93% in active homes, offering increased choices for potential buyers. Although home sales have experienced a modest dip of 11.58%, aligning with the usual seasonal trend, prices have stayed stable.

It’s crucial to note that attractively priced properties in top-notch condition continue to draw attention. Some are swiftly securing contracts, and “creme puffs” may receive multiple offers. Staying vigilant in the market, especially if you’re contemplating a move, is a wise strategy. Feel free to reach out if there’s a specific topic you’d like to explore or discuss.
