Here's what you need to know regarding the most recent Fed Chair Meeting from Today:

Nothing changed today… and that’s the signal 👇

The Fed met and left rates exactly where they are before the next Fed chair steps in.

No drop.
No relief coming right now.

What that means in real life:
Buyers: Your monthly payment isn’t getting cheaper right now
Sellers: Buyers are still active, just more selective

A lot of people have been waiting for rates to fall before making a move
But if they stay right here…
waiting doesn’t actually improve your position.

The ones winning right now
Are the people making decisions with a plan
not waiting for a perfect moment that may not come.

What $600K gets you right now in Maple Grove 👇

I pulled a few homes currently on the market (and one recent sale), and the range is honestly pretty interesting right now…

Some are fully updated and move-in ready.
Others still need work but offer more space or a better lot.

This is where the strategy really matters — because two buyers at the same price point can end up in very different homes depending on how they approach it.

If you’re even thinking about making a move this year, I’m happy to break down what your options actually look like right now.

Comment “MG” or shoot me a message and I’ll send you a few that match what you’re looking for.

Buying a home is finally getting more affordable and this is why 👇

This graph shows how much of a household’s income typically goes toward buying a home. As a general rule, spending 30% or less of your income on housing is considered affordable.

For the past couple of years, that number was well above the comfort zone. But recently, the math has started to improve thanks to a combo of lower mortgage rates, slower home price growth, and rising wages.

No, affordability isn’t snapping back overnight but the trend is finally moving in the right direction

If you’re curious what this means for your buying power, send me a message and let’s break it down together.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

I’ve made a move to Pemberton Real Estate!

Heading into 2026, I’m being more intentional with my business and where I invest my time and energy. This move was about prioritizing what’s best for my clients and my family, so I can keep showing up the right way and being there for those who matter most.

I’m incredibly thankful for the relationships I’ve built and everyone who trusted me in 2025 to guide them through a big move. Looking forward to making even more connections and building something special at Pemberton, where the culture is strong, collaborative, focused on growth in all directions.

If a move is on your radar this year, let’s connect!

Hi everyone! I’m Tory Dalbec, Realtor with A Good Life Group at RE/MAX Results. Re-introducing myself for all the new followers here.

I wear a lot of hats as your State of Hockey realtor. With my background in hockey, I naturally gravitate toward staying involved however I can. Some days that means sharpening skates, fixing gear, or coaching goalies to be the best version of themselves. Most days it means negotiating hard for my clients and helping families navigate big life decisions.

And to be clear, my work isn’t limited to hockey families. No matter your background or situation, my focus is on delivering a smooth, well-communicated experience and achieving the best possible results for you. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and confident from our first conversation through closing and beyond.
