This was the original house hack: Buy a duplex, triplex, or small multi-family. Live in one unit. Rent out the others. It's been working for decades — and it still does in 2026.

CMHC mortgage insurance allows buyers to purchase owner-occupied properties with as little as 5% down on homes up to $500,000, sliding to 10% on the portion between $500,000 and $999,999. As of December 2024, the insured mortgage ceiling was raised from $1 million to $1.5 million — opening the door to more buyers in higher-priced markets.

The financing options are more accessible than most buyers realise. For those willing to share a property line with their tenants, the income potential is typically higher than a single secondary suite, and the strategy is time-tested. If you're serious about house hacking, don't overlook the classic approach!

Before a buyer ever steps through the front door, they’re already making judgments.

In summer, curb appeal does a lot of heavy lifting. Here is what Buyers notice:

• Overgrown landscaping vs clean edges

• The condition of the front door and entryway

• Dead patches in the lawn vs fresh seasonal color

• Outdoor furniture and whether the space feels usable

• General signs of upkeep

The good news is that curb appeal usually doesn’t require a huge budget. Mowing, trimming, mulching, pressure washing, and adding a few simple touches can change the entire first impression.

When the outside feels cared for, buyers tend to assume the inside has been cared for too.

If you’re listing this summer, start at the curb. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

Jen, Ramona, and I recently grabbed a coffee at a local café, and while putting together this short video, it reminded me of one of the things we appreciate most about Ramona, how genuinely kind, caring, and thoughtful she is. Whether she's spending time with friends, colleagues, or clients, she has a way of making everyone feel welcome and valued.

As a devoted family person, Ramona understands that buying or selling a home is often about much more than real estate; it's about family, life changes, and building a future. She takes the time to listen, understand her clients' needs, and guide them through the process with patience and care.

Having lived in several countries before making Canada her permanent home, Ramona brings a unique perspective and an ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Fluent in English, Persian, and Hindi, she has a natural gift for building relationships and making people feel comfortable and understood.

What really stands out is her work ethic. Whether she's helping buyers find the right home or going above and beyond to market and sell a property, Ramona is committed to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine desire to help others are a big reason why so many of her clients become repeat clients and referral sources.

We're fortunate to have Ramona as part of our team, and I look forward to seeing her continued success. Dog-Eared Café Ramona Vejdani Home and Property Real Estate Ltd.

It’s easy to get emotionally attached to a home fast — especially when it photographs well and checks your first few boxes.

But before you fall in love, ask yourself these three questions:

1. Does this home actually fit my daily life?
Think commute, storage, layout, parking, and how you’ll use the space.

2. Can I comfortably afford more than just the purchase price?
Look beyond the mortgage and think about utilities, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and moving costs.

3. Am I excited about the home — or just reacting to the pressure of the market?

A competitive market can push buyers to move emotionally instead of strategically.

The right home should make sense on paper and in real life. So a little pause up front can save a lot of regret later.

One of the quieter shifts in how buyers evaluate homes is the move toward wellness design - the idea that a home's layout and materials should actively support how you feel in it, not just how it looks.

Mentions of "wellness" in listings are up 33% year over year, and "spa-inspired bathrooms" climbed 22%.

But the concept goes far beyond the primary bath. Biophilic design — bringing in natural light, organic materials, living plants, and visual connections to the outdoors has become a core consideration. So has circadian lighting that shifts with the time of day, and dedicated quiet spaces designed for rest and focus.

These aren't just luxury add-ons anymore. They're showing up in mainstream listings because people are prioritising how their home makes them feel on a Tuesday afternoon, not just how it presents at a party.

Buyers have moved on in 2026. Here's what's working against sellers right now:

❌ All-gray and stark white interiors
❌ Shiplap for the sake of shiplap
❌ Matching every fixture and cabinet pull to one metal finish
❌ Open shelving as a kitchen default
❌ The undifferentiated open floor plan
❌ Single-use bonus rooms — man caves, dedicated wine rooms, home theaters that can't flex

None of these will tank a sale on their own. But they can create hesitation — and hesitation shows up in longer days on market and more negotiated offers.

The good news? Most of these are fixable without a contractor. Reach out to talk about what's really worth addressing before listing your home.

We recently had the interior of our home painted by Prestige Home Construction and were very impressed with the attention to detail. They properly prepared the walls by filling in scuffs, screw holes, and nail holes before painting. They also removed and reinstalled all outlet and light switch covers for a clean, professional finish. As an added touch, they installed beautiful decorative trim around our skylight, which really enhanced the space.

They were friendly, professional, and very polite throughout the entire project. They also offered thoughtful recommendations we hadn’t considered, without ever being pushy or sales-focused. At the end of each day, they cleaned up all of their painting materials, which made it easy for us to continue using the space comfortably. Their experience really showed—they worked methodically, efficiently, and completed everything promptly with great attention to detail and no mishaps.

Prestige Home Construction is truly a one-stop shop for home renovations and improvements, offering services ranging from full kitchen and bathroom renovations to flooring and everything in between. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent customer service. Thank you for all your hard work in helping make our home look beautiful!

We recently had our siding updated by Savalan Exterior and couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and completed the job in a timely manner.

They kept the work area clean every day and consistently updated us on the progress of the project. Any issues that came up were communicated right away, along with helpful solutions and recommendations.

I highly recommend Savalan Exterior to anyone looking for quality work on siding, soffit, fascia, gutter leaf filters, or capping for their home. Excellent workmanship and great customer service!
