I Am Beyond Privileged To Know You!

I feel incredibly lucky to have the privilege of knowing Sarah and the Cycling with Sarah group. This empowering group of Winnipeg women 55+ get active on bikes (and beyond) while building friendships and confidence.

Sarah invited me to speak at their annual registration kick-off and talk about my upcoming trek, and I told my story. They marked my cause as the one they would donate to this year and this group came together in a huge way, donating a total of $1935 to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation in support of my upcoming Cambodia Challenge for Shelter.

You have a magical personality and have gathered up the most incredible group of women. I am so proud of everything you and Rose have accomplished and beyond privileged to know you and your whole group.

Southwood Circle Is Breaking Ground

๐ŸŒฟ Big news, Winnipeg! ๐ŸŒฟ

Southwood Circle is breaking ground on transforming the old Southwood Golf Course into a thriving โ€œuniverCityโ€ just steps from U of Mโ€™s campus โœจ

What to get excited about:

113 acres turning into homes, shops, offices, and parksโ€”all within a 5-minute walk to classes, transit, hospital, innovation hubs, and IGโ€ฏField!

20,000 residents in 11,000 units alongsideโ€ฏ300kโ€ฏsqโ€ฏft of retail, entertainment, and hospitalityโ€”built out in four phases over 20 years

21 acres of parkland (including 1โ€ฏkm of riverfront!), wildlife corridors, and preserved 5,000 mature treesโ€”two planted for each one removed

10โ€ฏkm of paths & rapid transit, with carโ€‘share and EVโ€‘bike options making it car-lite living at its best

Leading sustainability & culture, featuring Indigenousโ€‘inspired design, geothermal ideas, snowโ€‘melt roads, and home to the future National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation

Why it matters:

This is Winnipegโ€™s largest infill dev everโ€”turning unused land into a walkable, mixedโ€‘use community with a serious heart. โค๏ธ

Youโ€™re Costing Yourself Thousands Of Dollars

Letโ€™s talk about your curtainsโ€”and how keeping them closed all day might be costing you more than you think.

Especially for south-facing windows, when the sun beats down and the heat gets trapped between the glass and your curtains, it creates a mini greenhouse effect. That built-up heat can cause the seals in your windows to fail, leading to foggy glass, moisture issues, and a big hit to your homeโ€™s energy efficiency.

And hereโ€™s the kicker ๐Ÿ‘‡

โŒ Repairing broken seals isnโ€™t always a quick fix

โŒ Sometimes, youโ€™ll have to replace the whole window

โŒ Which can cost thousands sooner than expected

So what can you do to protect your windows (and your wallet)?

โœ… Open your curtains during the day to let the heat escape

โœ… Use sheer panels or heat-reflective film if privacy is a concern

โœ… Keep an eye on signs of seal failureโ€”like condensation between the panes

Small habits = big savings ๐Ÿ’ธ

Boomers Are Staying Put

Wondering why it feels so hard to find a home right now?๐Ÿค” Hereโ€™s one big reason: Boomers are staying put.

More homeowners are choosing to age in place, which means fewerโฌ‡๏ธ listings are hitting the market. That tighter inventory = more competition, higherโฌ†๏ธ prices, and faster sales. Itโ€™s a trend weโ€™re seeing across Winnipeg and beyond.

If youโ€™re a buyer feeling stuck or a seller curious about how this could work in your favour, letโ€™s talk strategy.๐Ÿ‘ˆ Because the truth is: timing does matter in real estate.

GST Rebate For First-Time Homebuyers

A little while ago, the government announced a plan to assist first-time homebuyers.๐Ÿคฉ For our first-time buyers, they are eliminating the GST on new builds (remember, resale doesn't have GST) for sales under $ 1 million. This is a huge help in reducing the purchase price of a home. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

A new home can be a condo, side by side, or a detached home... all of them qualify!๐Ÿ™Œ And in Winnipeg, there are lots of options under a million... better yet, there are lots of options under $500,000. 

If you have any questions about this new program or are ready to explore a new build home, reach out. We are here to help you! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Take Care Of Your Vent Covers

I see all too often where people put these covers on upside down, and it drives me crazy!๐Ÿคช It creates this perfect view of the ugly, dirty ductwork on the other side. ๐Ÿซฃ

Beyond that, I often see sellers who overlook cleaning their returns, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms,๐Ÿ› when selling their homes. It's the details like these that are crucial when selling your home. ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

How Does A Heat Pump Work?

Last year, we had a heat pump installed in our home, taking the plunge into new technology available in Manitoba.โœ… I am fortunate enough to have been on multiple home inspections and learning about this system over the years, but you may not have that same opportunity! โŒ And so, here is information on a heat pump. If your furnace and air conditioner are nearing the end of their lifespan, this is something to consider. ๐Ÿง

Congratulations!

Sometimes you meet people who are just the kindest souls, bravest people, and deserve all the best things in the world.... and this is that moment.

From the moment we first talked on the phone to our in-person meeting, I heard your story and couldn't wait to become part of your journey. The journey towards building the life you want, to your happiness, and witnessing you build your life.

I am proud of you, you deserve all the amazing things that are coming your way. Congratulations!

Doorbell Cameras Are Spying on More Than Just Porch Pirates

Doorbell cams... ๐Ÿ“น They are quite a hot topic, catching so many things that people don't want to be caught on camera.๐Ÿ˜ฌ They are in 80% of homes, and you need to be very aware of them as you are entering or exiting a property. They are watched, you are watched,๐Ÿ‘€ and you need to be careful what you are doing.๐Ÿคจ

Records Were Broken

Nearly 50% of the people who viewed this home wrote an offer, and with that we broke records in this neighbourhood on this incredible home.

Thank you to the two of you for all the hard work that you put into your home. It showed to complete meticulous perfection, and every buyer that walked through that door saw how well you cared for the home.

The two of you are amazing and I am so happy for your step up into your new home!
