As we approach retirement,  

many of us are faced with the age-old conundrum of whether to downsize our homes. It's a difficult decision that requires a careful weighing of the pros and cons. On the one hand, a smaller home can save you money on maintenance, costs of utilities, taxes, and other expenses. On the other hand, it can also mean giving up space, privacy, and memories associated with the home.

If you're on the fence about downsizing, there are a few things to consider. First, will you miss the space that you're giving up? If you're used to a large house with plenty of room for company or hobbies, downsizing to a smaller home may feel cramped.

Townhomes are typically more compact than single-family homes, making them perfect for those who don't want a lot of maintenance or upkeep. It's like the difference between a Great Dane and a teacup poodle – both have their perks, but one is definitely easier to manage.

Go Fetchit is a new service I tried out the other day which runs like an Uber service for delivery and pickup of items.

Will the market change? The government are concerned so interest rates may start to go up. But the rest of the country isn't seeing the type of numbers that Vancouver and Toronto are. Immigration looks to be continuing with no slow down in sight. And that is…
