Why Some GTA Homes Sell While Others Sit | Fall Market Update
Four offers on a house in Clarkson. Three showings in two weeks for a King West condo. Both are part of the same GTA real estate market, but the selling experience couldn't feel more different.
In Episode 26 of Real As It Gets with Gord and Trev, Trevor Thiessen and Gord Honor review September's GTA housing numbers and compare them with what they're seeing at showings, on listings and in conversations with buyers and sellers.
We look at detached homes versus condos, rising inventory and why buyers feel they have time to wait. Gord walks through the pricing and preparation behind his Clarkson sale, while Trevor talks about the challenge of getting buyers through the door of a professionally staged Toronto condo.
We also discuss why move-in-ready homes are still attracting attention, how longer selling timelines affect a move-up purchase and what we're watching through the rest of fall and into spring.
This is our September market review, with our observations and outlook at the time of recording.

A Bad Realtor Experience Changed His Career | Meet Gord Honor
Gord Honor's first experience buying a home involved three showings, a parked car beside a lake and a realtor asking which one he wanted to buy. He didn't want any of them. He did remember exactly how he never wanted to make a client feel.
In Episode 25 of Real As It Gets with Gord and Trev, Trevor Thiessen puts his co-host in the hot seat. Gord shares how he went from electronics and fire alarm sales to starting a real estate career in his 40s, with a mortgage and three kids at home.
We talk about earning those first clients, learning to negotiate and building a business through relationships rather than pressure. Gord also shares how an interest in drones became a photography business, why he has stayed a solo agent and what still makes him love the work nearly 20 years in.
Then we finish with a round of This or That. Trevor thinks he knows Gord pretty well. We'll let you judge that.

Mortgage Questions Buyers Are Afraid to Ask
What actually determines whether you'll qualify for a mortgage?
In Episode 24, Gord and Trev sit down with mortgage specialist Tom Winski from A Better Way Mortgage Group to talk credit scores, income, pre-approvals, fixed versus variable rates, affordability and mortgage renewals.
Tom explains why a pre-approval isn't necessarily a guarantee, what lenders actually look for, why credit utilization matters and how buyers can put themselves in a stronger position before applying for a mortgage.
We also get into the upcoming mortgage renewals for homeowners who purchased during the 2021 and 2022 market and what can happen when today's property value looks very different from the value when you purchased.
A practical conversation about mortgages without trying to make mortgages sound simple.
