It’s hard to believe that another year is coming to an end. With 2020 quickly approaching, the Toronto real estate market has certainly seen its fair share of ups and downs in 2019. At this rate, the new year should promise to be just as interesting as the last in the real estate sector.

According to a recent report released by Royal LePage, sales activity and appreciation in the GTA real estate market slowed in the first quarter of 2018. Luxury home sales in particular have slowed, while the average price of a condominium has increased by almost twelve percent year- over-year.

Despite the fact that most of us enjoy gaining an extra hour in the month of November thanks to the end of daylight savings time, the slight time shift has been known to wreak havoc on your daily schedules and internal rhythms.

I’ll begin by saying that I love my work.  I work as a Customer Service Representative at AccessEasyFunds, a commission advance company for Canadian real estate agents, and it’s been one of the most rewarding positions I’ve had so far in my career.  But, it does keep me busy, and along with my family responsibilities, I sometimes have precious little time left for exercising and keeping in shape.
