Merry Xmas from The Agent DK Team!

If there is one thing that 2020 has taught us, it is that staying connected and supporting one another can be done, even from miles apart. See how we are coming together as a community this Christmas Eve to spread the cheer and celebrate. With pictures hanging in windows, signs draped over fences, and 6 pm cheers, we came together and celebrated the front line workers who made sacrifices to care for us and our loved ones this year. As many of us may not be able to spend time together this holiday season, there is no better way to continue to bring joy than to take part in this epic, Worldwide Christmas Jingle. See how you can participate and make some amazing, magical memories for people right in your community.

Ottawa Real Estate Market Snapshot – September 2020

Market Snapshot: No Fall for September’s resale market as Ottawa saw 51% more properties sold over September of last year.

A continued increase in new listings and the demand for housing staying strong support the upward trajectory in the volume of properties sold.

Frolic Into Fall

Getting ready for fall and winter can be a chore. However with a few simple tips and tricks, getting it done can be quick and will pay off for homeowners. Insuring the appropriate maintenance has been performed to keep your home in top shape before the snow flies is important.

There are a few major things to remember when it comes to cold weather. A large part of getting ready for fall is to prepare your outdoor landscapes for the harsh reality that is Canadian winter, including (but not limited to) storing patio furniture, wrapping cedar trees and putting away decorative items that could be damaged. Freezing water can cause damage to concrete, metal pipes, gutters and landscapes and the thaw/freeze cycle can worsen the damage. Cleaning gutters and downspouts is a task that should be completed.

Here are a few other tips, and suggested areas to focus on in order to winterize your home this year.
