Your housing market is about to feel different, eh?
This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.
You know how everyone's always talking about the housing market? Well, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is shaking things up with their REAL TIME podcast. They’re bringing in Shaun Majumder as the new host for 2025. This isn't just a national thing, you know. What happens with real estate conversations at that level ripples right back here to the Queen City. It means the way we talk about buying and selling homes, even rentals in the Cathedral or new builds out in Harbour Landing, it’s all part of a bigger picture.
CREA’s recent podcast episodes, like "Building Long-Term Community in a Short-Term Stay" (Episode 74) and "Making the Real Estate Journey More Accessible with Jeffrey Kerr" (Episode 72), highlight how realtors are thinking about more than just transactions. They’re focused on making sure everyone, no matter their mobility or visual challenges, can find a place to call home. This focus on accessibility, _tâpowâw_, is something Regina needs to keep an eye on as our city grows. It's about making sure our housing market truly serves everyone, from those looking for their first apartment near the University of Regina to families settling into Parliament Place. We need to watch how these national conversations translate into local action right here on the prairies.
This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, and this is The Record for Regina.
