I built Lake City Realty to raise the bar in Sudbury real estate.
Not just better listings. A better way of doing business — for clients and agents.
Here’s the story behind the brand, the vision, and what makes us different: https://t.co/eyVZiBcYOV
Sudbury’s housing vs. population story:
Percentage of homes by year built. Pre-1960: 30% 1960-1980: 38% 1980-1990: 11% 1990-2000: 11% 2000-2021: only 1%
And Sudbury just had its largest population increase in 23 years, adding 4,658 residents last year to reach 179,965…
🤔 On Nov 25th, the planning committee will decide on the old hospital site for 530 residential units across 3 phases. This could set the stage for redeveloping the area and removing the eyesore that is Canada’s Largest Mural. Excited for more housing & progress in Sudbury!
🏒 Shoutout to Sudbury’s creative thinking! The old water tower was transformed into the "largest goal light in the world" to celebrate OHL goals by the Wolves. When not in use, it'll feature light shows to music. A fun idea to brighten the winter sky! #Sudbury
Local landlords are seeing rents plateau since peaking a year ago. Renovated units aren't getting premium prices anymore. 1 bedroom apartments are in higher demand, likely due to people stepping up from shared housing. Meanwhile, new apartment construction has slowed dramatically
The federal government is reducing immigration over the next few years, which could lead to a drop in Canada's population. This might impact GDP, but I believe Sudbury will continue to thrive due to its affordable lifestyle, attracting new residents despite national trends.
🔥BREAKING FROM STATS CANADA

💵First-time homebuyer activity has been driving the market, with buyers finding value and entering the market. However, the "step-up" home range hasn't seen the same activity. There have been increased sales in this range, possibly fueled by anticipated interest rate decreases.
📊The MLS Home Price Index, reflecting a 3-month rolling average, has turned positive for the first time in 6 months. This uptick, albeit modest, suggests a shift towards increased consumer confidence and potentially rising prices. #MarketIndicators#ConsumerConfidence
