'Twas two days before Christmas, and all through the house,


Not a creature was stirring—not even the mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
While I double-checked listings from my cozy armchair.

The buyers were nestled all snug in their beds,
Dreaming of houses with fireplaces and sheds.
And I in my blazer, with my phone in my lap,
Had just settled in for a quick holiday nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tripping on boxes from Amazon’s stash.

The moon on the snow made the front yard aglow,
And there stood Santa, waving, shouting, "Hello!"
“I need a new place for the reindeer and sleigh.
Can you help me find one by Christmas Day?”

I grabbed my laptop, and Santa and I
Started scrolling through listings under the sky.
“A workshop with space for my elves to build toys,
And a yard big enough for my reindeer and noise!”

We found him a cabin, all cozy and neat,
With a chimney just perfect for delivering treats.
“This one’s a keeper,” said Santa with cheer,
“I’ll take it today; my sleigh’s in fourth gear!”

With the deal quickly done, Santa gave me a wink,
“You’re on the nice list, so what do you think?
A new home for you, or a client to thank?”

So as he drove off, he was excited and in delight, he yells..
“2 Days LEFT until Christmas and a friendly reminder you forgot to get your husband a present”

If you’re looking to move or you’re ready to sell,
Call Abram Real Estate—we’ll do it so well!

Exploring the Best of Simcoe County, Muskoka, and the GTA with Abram Real Estate

As someone who has called Simcoe County home for nearly 40 years, I’ve been fortunate to experience the beauty and charm of this incredible region firsthand. From the serene landscapes of Muskoka’s Cottage Country to the vibrant communities of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), every corner of these regions holds something special. Whether you’re looking to settle down, find the perfect vacation retreat, or make the move north from the city, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.


Simcoe County: A Place to Call Home

Simcoe County offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and urban convenience. Its picturesque towns and stunning waterfronts make it a sought-after destination for families, retirees, and anyone looking for a high quality of life.

  • Barrie: With its vibrant downtown, waterfront parks, and thriving arts scene, Barrie is a city that truly has it all. It’s a hub for professionals and families alike, offering a mix of urban amenities and outdoor activities.

  • Wasaga Beach: Home to the world’s longest freshwater beach, Wasaga Beach is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. From sandy shores to snowmobile trails, there’s something to enjoy year-round.

  • Collingwood: Known for its proximity to Blue Mountain, Collingwood is perfect for those who love skiing, hiking, and the great outdoors. The charming downtown and active community spirit make it an ideal place to live and visit.

  • Orillia: A city with a small-town feel, Orillia boasts a rich history, waterfront views, and a growing cultural scene. It’s the perfect spot for anyone seeking tranquility with a touch of vibrancy.

  • Tiny: This gem of Simcoe County offers peace and quiet along the shores of Georgian Bay. Tiny is a favorite for those looking for a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.


Muskoka: Cottage Country Bliss

Muskoka is synonymous with relaxation and natural beauty. Known as Cottage Country, it’s where many escape to unwind and reconnect with nature. With its pristine lakes, towering pines, and cozy cottages, Muskoka offers a lifestyle that balances luxury with simplicity. Whether you’re looking to invest in a vacation home or a year-round property, Muskoka’s allure is undeniable.


The GTA: A Vibrant Real Estate Market

The Greater Toronto Area has long been a bustling hub of culture, business, and opportunity. As a real estate agent, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients sell their homes in communities like Brampton, Vaughan, Woodbridge, and Richmond Hill. Each of these areas offers unique benefits, from excellent schools and amenities to diverse communities and easy access to the city.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is assisting clients in making the transition from the GTA to Simcoe County or Muskoka. The move north offers the chance to embrace a more relaxed pace of life without sacrificing access to essential services and opportunities.

Home for the Holidays: A Festive Guide to Real Estate 3 Days Before Christmas

The holiday season is upon us, and while most people are busy wrapping gifts and decking the halls, some are taking advantage of the unique opportunities the real estate market offers during this festive time. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply spruce up your home, there’s something magical about house hunting and home selling just before Christmas. Here’s why this could be the most wonderful time of the year for real estate adventures:


1. The Buyers Are Serious

If you're selling your home, Christmas shoppers aren't the only ones making big decisions. Buyers this time of year are often motivated—whether it’s due to a relocation, a desire to settle into a new home for the New Year, or simply to take advantage of end-of-year financial benefits. This means fewer showings with uncommitted visitors and more interactions with buyers who mean business.


2. A Cozy First Impression

Holiday decor can transform any house into a warm and inviting space. Twinkling lights, a wreath on the door, and the smell of cookies baking in the oven create an atmosphere that appeals to the heart. If you’re selling, just remember to keep it simple and tasteful so buyers can still envision their own style in the space.


3. Fewer Competing Listings

The market often sees fewer homes listed during the holiday season, which means less competition for sellers. For buyers, this could mean a more focused search with fewer distractions. For sellers, it’s a chance to shine in a less crowded market.


4. Creative Ways to Showcase Your Home

Use the holiday spirit to your advantage! Host a festive open house with seasonal treats, warm beverages, and cheerful music. It’s a great way to create a memorable experience for potential buyers and make your home stand out.


5. End-of-Year Deals for Buyers

Many real estate professionals, including lenders and movers, may offer end-of-year incentives. Additionally, you might find motivated sellers who are eager to close deals before the calendar flips, making it a prime time to negotiate as a buyer.


6. Winter Wonderland Appeal

Simcoe County and the GTA are beautiful in winter, with snow-covered landscapes and cozy neighborhoods. Buyers often imagine themselves enjoying the season in their new home, whether it’s a fireplace in the living room or a backyard perfect for snowball fights.


Quick Tips for Sellers:

  • Keep walkways clear: Snow and ice can be hazards. Ensure paths are safe and accessible.

  • Showcase winter features: Highlight things like a heated garage, energy-efficient windows, or a cozy basement.

  • Keep it warm: A well-heated home feels welcoming and shows buyers the heating system works efficiently.


Quick Tips for Buyers:

  • Check winter readiness: Look for drafty windows, insulation quality, and the state of the roof.

  • Plan your move smartly: Book movers early and account for possible weather delays.

  • Imagine the seasons: Visualize how the home might look in spring and summer as well as during the holidays.


Wrapping It Up

The days leading up to Christmas might seem like an unconventional time to think about real estate, but the holiday season can offer unique opportunities for both buyers and sellers. If you’re ready to make a move or just want to discuss your options, reach out to us at Abram Real Estate. We’re here to help you find a place where every day feels like coming home for the holidays.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
