Long weekend. Somebody's going to say "let's just look at floors."

Before you go: that $1.88/sq ft sticker is about a quarter of what the job actually costs. A 1,000 sq ft main floor runs $3,700 DIY or $9,775 installed. The rest is labour, tear-out, trim and 13% HST.

Buy 10% more than you measured. And Costco isn't the expensive one, the underlay's built in.

Thinking about selling in the spring? Talk to me before you spend a dollar. Some upgrades come back at closing. Most don't.

DM "FLOORS" for the full breakdown.

The house was sold firm. The packing had started. That night, the homeowners went to bed thinking the stressful part was behind them.

Now imagine this.

At 2 a.m., they hear footsteps downstairs.

Someone has entered their home using the key from the lockbox.

It’s someone who had toured the property with their realtor. They’d later been given the code to take another look alone. And that same code still worked. This time they came back to rob the house!

The homeowners are upstairs. Their children are asleep down the hall.

I heard this story from a colleague and it stuck with me!

When my clients’ deal goes firm, I go back and change the code.

It’s one extra precaution I can take, and I believe it’s worth the trip.

As a dad and a homeowner, I know you’re trusting me with more than a transaction. Your family is still living there while you prepare for your next chapter.

You shouldn’t have to ask me to care about that!

Your home deserves the same attention after the sold sign goes up as it did before.

I haven’t posted much about the kids this summer because, quite frankly, I’ve been busy working. 😂

It’s been one of those summers. Deals closing, new listings, buyers looking, negotiations happening and a lot of time spent running around for clients.

Which is a good problem to have.

But somewhere between the phone calls, showings and paperwork, I made sure we squeezed in some quality time with the kids too.

Because the market will always be there. They won’t always be this age.

Busy summer for Sark Realty.

Even better summer being Dad.

Now… back to school for them and back to business for me. 😂

291 Whitby Shores Greenway sits in one of those established pockets of Whitby where the lot, the setting and the street presence do a lot of the talking.

Built in 1999, this bungalow sits on a **49 x 114 ft lot** with mature landscaping, a double-car garage and, probably my favourite part, no neighbours directly across from you!

Instead, you’re looking out toward Lynde Shores Conservation Area and the Waterfront Trail, with Lake Ontario just beyond.

And there’s something about homes from this era of Whitby Shores. The proportions feel substantial, the lots have room to breathe, and after 27 years, the neighbourhood actually looks like a neighbourhood.

The inside is pretty good too 😉
2+1 bedrooms. 3 bathrooms. Finished basement. Nearly 1,500–2,000 sq. ft. above grade.

If you’ve been waiting for a bungalow in Whitby Shores, this is one I’d come see in person.

A few days ago, my son turned 13, and it brought back so many memories of what I was like at that age.

It’s funny how, as a parent, you start to see pieces of yourself in your kids. His love for sports, competition and always wanting to get better is something I really connect with. Whether he’s playing, watching or talking about the game, he’s all in.

As his dad, I’m supposed to be the one he looks up to, but the truth is, I look up to him too.

I admire his confidence, his heart, his competitive spirit and the way he keeps pushing himself. There are lessons I try to teach him, but there are just as many things he reminds me of every day.

I’m proud of the athlete he’s becoming, but even more proud of the young man he’s becoming.

Happy 13th birthday, buddy. I love you, I’m proud of you, and I’ll always be your biggest fan. ❤️

There’s one sentence I hear all the time in real estate:“We’ll buy the cheaper one and renovate it ourselves.”

And sometimes, that absolutely makes sense.

But before you make that decision, price out the whole renovation.

Not just the kitchen.

The flooring. The bathrooms. The appliances. The lighting. The paint. The trim. The trades. The delays. The unexpected costs. And the time it takes to manage all of it.

One important note about the numbers in this post: I kept the renovation estimates on the conservative end!

Depending on the finishes you choose, the trades you hire, material costs and what you uncover along the way, recreating a renovation like this can easily cost more.

That is what makes 137 Timber Mill Ave in Whitby, worth looking at differently.

This is a true freehold end-unit townhome with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and a long list of the expensive work has already been done.

👉New quartz countertops.
👉New stainless steel appliances.
👉Updated cabinetry and hardware.
👉New flooring throughout.
👉New lighting.
👉New baseboards.
👉Updated bathrooms.
👉New air conditioner.
👉New washer and dryer.

You are not just buying what the house looks like today.

You are buying the money, time, decisions and work it took to get it there.

I’m not against renovating. I’ve done it plenty.

I just think buyers should compare the real numbers before assuming the fixer-upper is automatically the better deal. Sometimes the value is in the project.

Sometimes the value is walking in, putting down your keys and being done!

A bungalow in Whitby Shores doesn’t come up every day!

And this one has one of those locations that’s hard to recreate.

291 Whitby Shores Greenway sits directly across from Lynde Shores Conservation Area and the Waterfront Trail, so instead of looking across at another row of homes, you’ve got nature right outside your front door.

Inside, it’s a spacious 2+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom bungalow with a main-floor primary suite, main-floor laundry, a large kitchen and family room, and a finished basement that gives you almost another full level of usable space.

You’ve also got a double garage, parking for six, and you’re only minutes from Whitby GO, the 401, schools, parks and shopping.
