Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
Your next home buying trip might look different
I'll tell you what, when you're thinking about real estate, sometimes it's all about the numbers and the market, right? But the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is putting out some interesting stuff in their "REAL TIME" podcast. They're really digging into how to make finding a home more accessible for everyone.
It's not just about what's for sale on King Street or up by Rockwood Park anymore. According to Episode 72 of their podcast, featuring Jeffrey Kerr, they're talking about accommodations for folks facing mobility, visual, or auditory barriers. That's a big deal. Buying a house, whether it's an old Loyalist home uptown or something newer out in Millidgeville, is already a tough go. Thinking about how the process itself can be a barrier? That’s something new, and important for a city like ours with such varied housing stock. It’s about more than just the property; it’s about the journey to get there.
This kind of focus means we might start seeing changes in how real estate agents operate right here in Saint John, making the whole experience a bit smoother for more people.
That’s the morning wire from the Fundy. You know Keith and the gang are chewing on this — check them out every morning at mornings.live.
