Back from Crete<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just got back from Crete, from our summer vacation. Crystal clear water! Fresh food! Incredibly welcoming people; and, we got to visit some great spots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few favourites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gramboussa Restaurant:<\/strong> A hilltop location. They grow their own vegetables there, with exceptional views and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chania Old Town: <\/strong>Beautiful architecture, packed with amazing restaurants. A must-see for history, and exceptional eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Elefanos Beach:<\/strong> While the sand may not be as pink as you might expect from online photos, it\u2019s a stunning place to spend the day. No filter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swim in the crystal-clear water, and let an unforgettable sunset wash over you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dourakis Winery:<\/strong> A hidden gem where you can enjoy some of the finest local wines with the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ve built and maintained this very special place over five generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Biolea – Olive Oil Tasting:<\/strong> At the top of a mountain stands this incredible location: Here the art of olive oil making has truly been perfected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The on-site dining experience is top-notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few notes with regards to real estate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spring market is typically strong, then it slows down a bit during the summer. But, something happens when September hits!
Whether it\u2019s back-to-school season, the crisp morning air, or the changing colours of the leaves, buyers and sellers tend to wake up and get markets moving again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bank of Canada recently announced a rate cut of 25 basis points, setting the stage for an even livelier market than we might have seen otherwise. With sales already up 12%, year-to-date, in Qu\u00e9bec, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more new listings hitting the market than ever before, a drop in interest rates is exactly what\u2019s needed to keep the sales momentum going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen with the volume of sales? Prices? Another rate adjustment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are all things we\u2019ll keep you updated on in the coming month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
