Beyond the Headlines: Real Talk About Real Estate in Peterborough

Let’s be honest—real estate headlines can feel like a rollercoaster. One day it’s “prices are up,” the next it’s “market’s cooling,” and somewhere in the middle are people like you and me, just trying to figure out what it actually means.

So let’s zoom in on Peterborough—because the national news doesn’t always reflect what’s going on in our neighbourhoods.

Spring is bringing a little more energy to the market. Listings are slowly picking up, and while it’s not the frenzy we saw in past years, well-priced homes are still moving quickly. Buyers are being more intentional, and sellers are realizing that presentation matters (hello, decluttering!).

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, here’s my advice: don’t stress about timing the market. It’s about timing your life. Need more space? Want to simplify? Ready for something new? That’s your cue—not the headlines.

Even if you’re not planning to list anytime soon, I’m happy to offer a no-pressure, personalized home value snapshot. Sometimes it’s just nice to know where you stand.

Let’s keep it real—real estate doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether we’re chatting over a coffee or from the front porch, I’m here to help however I can.
