Is this why more homeowners are selling in 2025? (CA)

Introduction

We built this campaign around a financial blind spot that’s become impossible to ignore: the rising total cost of homeownership—and how it’s prompting more Canadians to reconsider staying put. A new Ratehub.ca report shows that in 2025, the average annual cost of owning a home in Canada—excluding mortgage payments—has climbed to over $21,000.

This email leans into that insight to meet clients where they are: feeling squeezed by property taxes, insurance, and upkeep. It speaks to the real questions homeowners are asking right now: Are we paying more to stay than we would to move?

The message does three things:

  1. Educates clients on the hidden and rising costs of ownership.
  2. Brings clarity by offering a framework for comparing today’s costs vs. tomorrow’s options.
  3. Provides next steps, with practical tools and a reassuring offer to help.

We’re not just selling homes—we’re helping people make smart, sustainable decisions.

We don’t talk enough about the total cost of homeownership.

It’s not just the mortgage. It’s insurance, property taxes, maintenance, and repairs—the less visible costs that add up fast.

According to Ratehub.ca, the annual cost of owning a home in Canada in 2025—excluding mortgage payments—now averages $21,000 to $22,000.

As expenses rise, a lot of my clients are asking—Are we paying more to stay than we would to move?

If you’re in a similar position—or know someone who is—here’s a good starting point:

  1. Gather your financials: Current mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, planned renovations, plus expected costs if you buy (purchase price, down payment, closing, moving).

  2. Run side-by-side comparisons: Use mortgage and cost calculators that factor in all
    upfront and ongoing expenses for both your current home and a potential new one.

  3. Assess total costs and personal fit: Look at monthly and long-term expenses over 5–10 years, and weigh them against how long you plan to stay and your lifestyle priorities.


As always, if you have any questions—or need guidance because you feel like you’re stuck in limbo—I’m here.
