The new home construction market is broken and most buyers are walking in completely blind.
Daniela Mitrovic and Kathy Tsiantoulas, the powerhouse duo behind The Property Girls at RE/MAX Niagara Realty Ltd, have spent a combined 40 years navigating every corner of the Canadian real estate market. With nearly two decades selling alongside one of Niagara's most respected builders, Kenmore Homes, they have seen the industry shift, stall, and surge again. This conversation cuts straight through the noise on new home construction, the HST rebate shake-up, and the hidden truths most realtors will never tell you before you sign a contract.
