March Is Here & So Is Spring!
First and foremost our hearts and prayers go out to the citizens of Ukraine!
The PEDLAR Team found ourselves off to Las Vegas at the end of February and it felt so good to enjoy some sunshine! We went down to Las Vegas for the Re/MAX R4 Convention to pick up some awards! We also learned about the ever changing technology that is coming into effect to better ourselves as real estate agents to help our clients better. We can't thank our clients, friends and family enough for the support in 2021 to make it our best year yet. Not just in revenue but in relationships created in one of the most challenging environments due to the pandemic we found ourselves in. So a huge THANK YOU goes out to all of you!
Re/MAX continues to be the leading real estate company in the world and has the numbers to prove it! Re/MAX is #1 in per agent sales and nobody in the world sells more real estate than Re/MAX. Re/MAX was the first real estate company to close 2 million transactions in one year! The most important stat is that Re/MAX agents are the number one trusted agent in the business amongst consumers in USA and Canada. We take great pride in being with Re/MAX and wouldn't want it any other way! We are proud to share that Re/MAX is the Official Real Estate Agents of the NBA as part of an exciting multi-year sponsorship with The National Basketball Association (NBA) in Canada.
We are excited to be back from holidays and hit the floor running with multiple new listings coming this week and more listings to come!
The spring market appears to be another strong one so give us a call if you are thinking about selling. We will provide all the info to you so that you can make the best decision for yourself!
Other exciting news we are back in the office after renovations and will post photos in the next few days! We are excited to have people come back into the office and show it off!

A Word From Our Trusted Financial Advisor
The start of 2022 has been incredibly exhausting for investors. While Canada is level on the year solely in part to sky rocketing oil prices, global markets are down across the board. The S&P 500 and Dow Index have entered correction territory (down -10% from peak) while the Nasdaq, Russell 2000 and European indexes have entered or are getting near bear market territory. Investors who have been nervous about a potential policy mistake by the U.S. Federal Reserve have to now deal with the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Over the past decade, only 2016 and 2020 saw a drop of more than 10% in the S&P 500 in the first quarter. Historically, we typically don’t experience weak starts to the year, but the most recent turn of events has put additional pressure on markets. Attached is my monthly “market perspectives” as I do my best putting recent market movements into context.
