Photo by Jakob Owens on Unsplash Fall. Autumnal Equinox. Pumpkins. Turkey. Hallowe’en. Traditions to follow and new ones to make. A time of sweaters, raking leaves and walks in the woods. Bright blue skies dominate memories. It’s also a season of storms and preparing for winter. But we’ll leave yard clean up and dead heading [...]

Gears have changed. School is in session. The summer folk have left. The place seems a little empty. Yes, they’ll be back, but it’s not the same. Our summer vibe is on hold. Not for a year, but certainly through the week. Come the weekend, and the weather’s fine, the vibe will be felt throughout [...]

Photo Credit: Scott Webb MarketWATCH Muskoka: 14 October 2020 Colour has passed its peak. Leaves, now turning from gold to brown, are soft upon the forest floor. Their scent evoking a time of hiding in piles of them, playing in forts of them, throwing armfuls of them at one another. Fall smells good in the [...]

MarketWATCH Muskoka Autumn. This week is classic. Warm days, cool nights, gentle breezes. Morning mists, glasslike waters and no bugs. Perfect for paddle boarding, taking the kayak out or just soaking in dock time. It's a time to decompress and marvel. Leaves are starting to turn. There's the occasional flash of brilliant red as one [...]

Carefully, oh so carefully, we have been working. In the past couple of weeks we've had 5 offers accepted. Two of our listings have sold and we have successfully negotiated deals for 3 buyers. Real estate in the time of COVID is different, but it's still active. We've also had enquiries from people who did [...]

MarketWATCH Muskoka: 4 September 2019 September, to our way of thinking, is one of the nicest months in Muskoka. The days are warm, nights cool (very nice for an evening by the fire pit) and the lakes are quiet. Along the shore, the number of lights twinkling across the lake has diminished. An evening cruise [...]

Last week we talked about the fall market and mentioned that properties being listed at this time of year represent good value as sellers want to sell their properties this year. This week there's a property coming to market on Kahshe Lake, one of the shortest commutes from the GTA, with great privacy, SW exposure, [...]

It's here! The last long weekend of the summer. We have a warm week leading up to it too! In fact, records are being set as we speak. Night time temperatures in Muskoka are staying warm. The lakes are not cooling yet. They might even be getting warmer. Some years, nights have had their cooling [...]

As we approach fall in Muskoka, the pace of play changes. Think languid. Think reflective. Think art. For 40 years the Fall studio tour has been a highlight for those who live here and those who want to. The Artistic community in cottage country has grown over the years. Although we think of The Group [...]
