Saint John, is your real estate journey truly accessible?

Your real estate journey can be smoother

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

I'll tell you what, the real estate market here on the Fundy shore is always a big topic, right? Everyone's either looking to buy, sell, or just wondering what their neighbour's place went for. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has been putting out some interesting stuff lately on their "REAL TIME" podcast that really hits home. They're talking about making the whole process more accessible for folks.

It’s not just about the numbers, is it? Episode 72, for instance, featured Jeffrey Kerr discussing how to make the real estate journey more accessible. That's a big deal when you think about our aging population, or anyone facing mobility, visual, or auditory barriers. It's about ensuring everyone has a fair shot, from navigating open houses up those steep King Street hills to understanding the paperwork.

Here’s a quick rundown of what they've been focusing on:

* **Accessibility First:** Thinking about all kinds of clients, not just the usual ones. * **The Power of Social Media:** How REALTORS® are using online platforms to connect, as explored in Episode 71 with Katie Hession. * **Community Focus:** What the "REAL TIME" podcast promises for 2025 with new host Shaun Majumder – more connections, community, and curiosity.

It's a good reminder that real estate isn't just about sales figures; it's about people and their ability to find a home in Saint John. We'll be watching to see how these ideas translate into practical changes for buyers and sellers in the city.
