Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
### Your housing market, right now, it's about community
I'll tell you what, there’s a real buzz building around the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA)'s REAL TIME podcast, especially with Shaun Majumder coming on board for 2025. You know Majumder, right? From Burlington, Newfoundland, a true East Coaster. Bringing that kind of genuine community focus to how we talk about real estate is crucial, particularly here in Saint John where housing, whether you're buying or renting, is always a hot topic.
The latest episode I’ve been listening to, "Building Long-Term Community in a Short-Term Stay," it really hits home. It’s about how REALTORS® aren't just selling houses; they're connecting people to the very fabric of our city, helping new folks feel at home in places like the South End or up near Rockwood Park. And Jeffrey Kerr's discussion on making the real estate journey more accessible, that’s vital, right? Making sure everyone, no matter their mobility or visual barriers, can find their place in this town. It shows a thoughtful approach to real estate that goes beyond just the numbers, focusing on the human side of things.
This shift towards understanding real estate as a community builder, not just a transaction, is something we should all be watching. It's about ensuring our city, from King Street to the Millidgeville flats, stays a welcoming place.
