Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
### Your Saint John real estate journey could get easier
I'll tell you what, finding a place to call home here, especially with the housing crunch, can be a real headache. But the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is putting a spotlight on how to make that journey a bit smoother for everyone, right? Their recent podcast series, "REAL TIME," is digging into some important stuff, and it's good to see.
Episode 72, "Making the Real Estate Journey More Accessible with Jeffrey Kerr," specifically talks about accommodating clients facing mobility, visual, or auditory barriers. That's a big deal. Think about trying to tour a house or even just sign papers when you've got challenges like that. REALTORS® here in Saint John are deeply connected to the community – they're the folks who often help new arrivals settle in and find their footing. CREA's focus, as highlighted in Episode 74, "Building Long-Term Community in a Short-Term Stay," shows an industry trying to evolve beyond just transactions. It's about building lasting connections. New host Shaun Majumder coming on in 2025 for REAL TIME signals they're serious about reaching a wider audience, which is a good thing for folks right here on the Bay of Fundy.
This kind of focus could really help make sure our community remains welcoming and accessible for everyone who wants to call Saint John home, whether they're moving uptown or out to the Valley.
