The bonds and camaraderie among our people and the support and encouragement they provide to one another daily is so special and unique. It is something that has been built one good deed at a time, and all their efforts have contributed to our culture of collaboration, inclusivity, diversity and success. It reinforces what we have believed: YOU win by helping others. The work we do every day makes a difference in the lives of so many people. Our agents bring joy and happiness to families and help make their dreams a…

The 5-year Canada bond yield hit a 12-month low last week, causing fixed mortgage rates to drop.  This unexpected turn of events may be jump starting the spring market as potential buyers can now secure attractive rates. We saw many homebuyers putting their plans on hold due to high interest rates last year, but we're now seeing many of those buyers back are ready to jump into the market.

This is one of those times when the stats don't seem to match what is happening in reality. Yesterday, our brokerage held our first-ever "Liv Better Day": where we learned a ton, celebrated our award winners (we give out awards for customer service excellence, leadership, community involvement and teamwork, not sales), and ended the day with a charity challenge where we gave away $4500 to local charities.
