IS THIS YOU?
SOUND FAMILIAR?
If you're nodding along to any of these, this seminar was built for your next chapter.
01
The second bedroom became the office. Or the nursery. Or both.
02
There's nowhere left for the stroller, the bike or the guests.
03
You love the city, but you want a park, a good school and a quieter street.
04
You bought a few years ago, and your condo is worth about what you paid.
05
Your mortgage renewal is coming up and you're not sure whether to stay put.
06
Every home you like feels just out of reach.
THE BIG IDEA
STOP LOOKING AT YOUR SALE PRICE. START LOOKING AT THE GAP.
When the market cools, bigger homes often fall further than smaller ones. Your condo may be worth about what you paid, but the home you want may cost hundreds of thousands less than it did a few years ago. The number that matters isn't what you sell for. It's the gap between what you sell and what you buy.
"From what I'm seeing in the condo market, many prices have corrected back to 2017 to 2019 levels. For owners ready to move up, that can make this one of the most affordable windows in years." Omar Samad, Broker of Record
1 AFTERNOON 路 3 PATHS 路 1 CLEAR MOVE
REAL CLIENT STORIES
18 YEARS OF HELPING OWNERS MAKE THE MOVE
Many of the first-time buyers we helped years ago have since moved up to bigger condos, townhouses and houses. Here's what that looks like in today's market.
Brad & Jessica 路 Mimico condo to a Mississauga semi
"We thought moving up was off the table."
Brad and Jessica bought their Mimico condo four years ago, when they started dating. Two kids later, it was too small. Selling today would bring about what they paid, around $600,000, before closing costs. That felt like a dead end.
So we worked the numbers backwards. The semi-detached they wanted in Mississauga is about $900,000 today. Back when they bought their condo, the same home was about $1.4 million, far out of reach. Their condo held its value; the house didn't.
The gap shrank from about $800,000 to about $300,000. Once they stopped focusing on their sale price and looked at the gap, it was clear: right now was the cheapest time for them to make the move.
Alexander & Roxy 路 Kept their Mimico condo, added a duplex
"We didn't want to sell at a loss."
Alexander and Roxy bought their Mimico condo just over three years ago. Their careers took off, and they were ready to trade the comfort of a condo for the space to start planning a family. But selling now meant taking a loss and starting over.
After weighing every option, the smartest move wasn't to sell at all. They kept their condo and bought a duplex, adding two new streams of rental income that balance their cash flow until the market improves.
When it does, they can sell both and move up to the home they want, or keep the better investment and let their tenants pay down the mortgage.

IS THIS FOR ME?
THE FEARS THAT KEEP OWNERS STUCK
Every one of these has a plan. We'll walk you through each one.
"I'll lose money if I sell now."
You might not have to sell at all. And if you do, the number that matters is the gap between what you sell and what you buy. We'll show you how to calculate yours.
"What if my condo doesn't sell and we're stuck with two mortgages?"
Sell first, buy first, a purchase conditional on your sale, or bridge financing. There's a right order for your situation, and we'll help you find it.
"Breaking my mortgage will cost a fortune."
Porting your mortgage, blend-and-extend and timing your move around renewal can reduce or avoid penalties. Your free mortgage review with Tiffany Group checks your exact numbers.
"Can we afford the bigger payment and higher fees?"
Your Move-Up Equity Report shows what you walk away with. Then we compare monthly costs, fees per square foot and reserve funds before you commit to anything.
"Shouldn't we wait for the market to recover?"
When the market recovers, bigger homes often recover faster, and the gap grows again. Waiting can cost more than it saves.
"Condo, townhouse or house? We don't even know what's next."
We'll compare the paths side by side, including Mimico's family-friendly buildings and townhomes, so you choose with clarity instead of pressure.
