For many Canadians, owning a second home has long felt like a distant dream.

Canadian luxury real estate will make a historic debut at Sotheby’s, the world’s largest, most trusted and dynamic marketplace for art and luxury, when our prestigious Canadian property represented by Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions and Sotheby’s International Realty Canada is offered for live bidding at the iconic Sotheby’s New York auction house on June 14, 2023.

More than a functional feature of the home, the staircase is an artful sculpture that embodies the character of the home’s architecture and the homeowner. You can call them functional art if you will.

Your home’s foyer is the first indoor space your guests step foot into. It’s a teaser into the homeowner’s tastes and sets the tone for the rest of the home by introducing them to the home’s unique character and style.

Since most renovations resolve an issue or improve quality of life, many people automatically assume that they also increase a property’s sale price.

Imagine, if you will, the perfect winter home. What does it look like? Is it a classic colonial with a foot of snow on the roof and smoke spiralling from the chimney?

One luxury that has skyrocketed in popularity over the last year and a half is pet ownership. Many people have expanded their families with four-legged companions during the pandemic.

Japandi design blends Japanese and Scandinavian interpretations of minimalism. Each style use minimalism and nature to create harmony.

The country’s major metropolitan luxury real estate markets broke consecutive records throughout 2021 as Canadians’ urgent, pandemic-influenced demand for housing mobility and strengthening confidence in the country’s economic recovery drove price gains, eroded inventory and propelled markets to historic highs.

A piece of art. A colour palette. A potted succulent. For Valerie Stafford, Partner and a Lead Designer at Rumor Designs, the smallest detail can be the thread that weaves together her whole vision and concept for a room.

As 2020 draws to a close, we hope to welcome a prosperous new year. We celebrate the highs and reflect on the lows of the year, our homes are at the heart of these reflections. Welcome and celebrate the new year in these spaces in your home.

The surrounding city lights, fine dining on your doorstep, and a short commute to the financial district—condominium living is chock-full of conveniences.

What makes a house truly feel like a home? Aside from the events that take place between its walls, much of a home’s personality is found in the materials, textures, and accents that bring it together.

The best escapes aren’t always at a five-star hotel. A well-appointed home can be the place you let go, relax, and indulge in the good life in a style perfectly suited to your tastes.

Canada — the very definition of the great escape. A nation of snowy peaks, waving prairie, coastal cliffs, and azure lakes, this maple country offers year-round opportunities for every vacation impulse and style.

For many people, the “office” isn’t a corner office in a high-rise building—it’s at home.

When it comes to selling that all-important investment, your home, there are many factors to consider.

Renewed confidence in Canada’s post-pandemic return and economic recovery bolstered gains across the country’s major metropolitan luxury real estate markets through the first half of 2021.

It’s 2021 and with the world still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the suburbs are being seen as a haven from the city’s clamour and close quarters — value-laden, wide-open spaces with increasing appeal.

There’s an unspoken elegance to a well-arranged outdoor living space. Thankfully, folding chairs and clunky tables too focused on durability are a thing of the past.
