About the Toronto Shelter’s we support

Nellie's opened in 1973 with a vision of being a place where every woman who steps through our doors finds a pathway to a violence-free life. More than 50 years later, we know that access to stable, affordable housing plays a key role in breaking the cycle of abuse, and we're making it happen with programs like Transitional Housing and Toronto Women in Action. Our programs empower women who are searching for a safe place to live, or who are at risk of eviction or homelessness, with referrals to resources and services, workshops on tenants' rights and housing advocacy, and help finding the furniture and other essentials that make a home complete. Your support is the foundation for the brighter future we're building together.

As Toronto’s largest family shelter, Red Door provides vital services that help families build brighter futures. After moving into their new homes, families continue to access programs like counseling, life-skills training, and food banks to support stability and well-being. These vital programs are made possible by community support, with the Royal LePage Night Walk serving as a key pathway.

Market Snapshot July 2025

July Market Snapshot

Whether it’s scorching hot temps or splashy vacation plans, July is notoriously a slower time in the market. However, PLOT TWIST...
Last month’s stats tell a different story with the number of sales across the GTA spiking up to 13% over last year.  
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) experienced the best home sales result for the month of July since 2021. 6,100 home sales were recorded through TRREB’s MLS® System in July 2025 – up by 10.9 per cent compared to July 2024.

So what’s the scoop? 
➡️Buyers are cashing in on the chance to shop lots of inventory w/ recentered prices and some key conditions. 

➡️Data in action: Condo sales between $400k-600k represented a HUGE 47% of ALL condo sales in the area. 

With prices lowering in the condo market, more and more prospective renters are weighing out the rising costs of renting vs home ownership! 

There’s so much more than numbers to share, if you’re looking for the whole story let us buy you a coffee and give you some real information about what making a move looks like right now. 

We are gearing up for a super active Fall, how about you?

Market Snapshot April 2025

April Market Snapshot numbers!

April’s market numbers are in, and they show that we’re currently experiencing a little bit of a slower Spring market than we’ve seen in Toronto for some time. But here’s the twist: the LTHome Collective is more active this Spring than the stats want to give credit for! Why? Because in uncertain times, having trusted, experienced professionals on your side is more valuable than ever. The reality is despite some market uncertainty in some areas, Toronto and the surrounding areas are still a safe and stable place to live and many people still have good reason to make a move. 

Looking closer at what’s going on: inventory is on the rise, while sales are down. This shift is creating more opportunities for buyers, who now have the time to make thoughtful decisions. Many have been saving and preparing for years, and with interest rates coming down and home prices stabilizing, they’re ready to act. On the listing side, it is not all doom and gloom. A property that is properly prepared, priced correctly and marketed to its fullest potential is still selling, it just might not happen overnight - and that’s ok! We’re here, as we’ve always been, to help you navigate this process in the best way possible. 

No matter where you are in your real estate journey, we’re here as a trusted source of insight—and we’re always up for a good conversation. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Choosing the right curtains for your room

Window coverings can make or break the aesthetic in any space. Curtains are a great way to change the appearance of a room, making it feel brighter and even bigger. However, choosing the wrong curtains may have the opposite effect.

Here is a guide to picking the right curtains for your space:

To Add Width

If your window is narrow or you want to widen the look of your space, extend your curtain rod on either side of the window to cover an area of 10 to 12 inches outside the frame. Avoid slat blinds or Roman blinds if you’re trying to make your windows look wider. These options will sit inside the frame, making the window look even more narrow.

To Add Height

Place your curtain rod flush to the ceiling or below to add a lengthening effect to the room. Make sure your drapes are long enough to be flush with the floor to make the most of this effect, ensure that you avoid contact with heating elements or floor vents. Avoid fixing your curtain rods just above your window if you’re trying to create the illusion of higher ceilings.

To Add Privacy Without Sacrificing Light

Opt for fabrics such as thick linen or double-lined cotton to prevent your neighbours from seeing your living room dance parties. Black-out curtains are a great option to preserve energy and enhance privacy. You may also opt to install roller shades in your bedrooms for additional privacy.
