New Colour Considerations

The spread of the global pandemic has meant that many of us have spent more time in our homes. This has inspired many of us to brighten up our surroundings.

In essence, it's believed that the threat of compromised health and the sense of social isolation will contribute to a desire for comfort and reassurance from our surroundings. 

Consequently, it's now expected that we'll be more attracted to natural colours that offer comfort and sanctuary, such as soft hues and soothing shades of browns, greens, and blues. However, while such a palette selection might range from earthy beiges to ocean blues, experts caution against having one colour dominate a home. Colour should be used to support the noticeable trends toward delineating various areas in the home for specific purposes and designating spaces for different users over the course of a busy day.

GTA REALTORS Release March 2025 Stats

Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices have declined over the past year, making monthly payments more manageable for households looking to buy a home. “Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power.
