And We’re Live

April 16, 2020 by clove Leave a Comment

The day before we went live with our MLS half duplex listing, my mom announced, “Well, the real estate market has tanked!” And I mean really, what better time to sell a house than in the midst of a global pandemic?

Depending on where we come out at the other end, this could turn out to be either sarcasm or prophetic wisdom. A time of intersecting global health and environmental crises feels in many ways like an ideal time to invest in a passive house. But does any of that matter if no one is looking and no one can get a mortgage?

We won’t know unless we stick our necks out in the wind. So here we go – officially offering a rare, brand new Passive House home in one of Canada’s best neighbourhoods. Tell your friends!

The full listing can be viewed here.

Our realtors even made a video to help explain what’s different about living in a Passive House.
