Read More....Leading with Heart: Top REMAX Agent Makes Most of Life, Business by Serving Others
Mathew Morley was in the thick of building his real estate career when he received devastating health news, grinding his world to a halt. For the third time. Morley, a real estate agent of 19 years with REMAX First in Calgary, Alberta, had previously undergone two heart procedures for an aortic aneurysm when he began experiencing valve failure symptoms again. Slowed movements. Troubled breathing. Ongoing tiredness. As more concerns began to surface, it became clear his complicated medical journey wasn’t over quite yet. In 2022, Morley underwent his third open heart surgery. His nerves were frayed even more with heightened stakes this time around – a wife, two children and deep roots in a community he cherishes. But it was those very motivators that gave him the strength to not only recover but rise up to be an even better version of himself. image002Mathew Morley and Family“Experiencing agony every day was mentally and physically exhausting. But with my family’s support, I’ve been able to prove that when we put our mind to something, and we have the strength and the courage to face it head on, that we can achieve it,” Morley says. “If we can make even just 1% of progress on any goal every day, it can have an enormous ripple effect.” He continues, “At a young age, I developed an understanding of how vulnerable we all are and how challenging life can be. Because of that, I have an elevated level of compassion for people and an elevated level of gratitude.” This nuanced mindset has since reframed his role as an agent, seeing his job as a way to positively impact his community. Bouncing back from a successful surgery with more momentum that ever, Morley had a breakthrough, earning himself a spot in the REMAX Diamond Club of high-achieving affiliates. Today, he ranks in the top 100 of all REMAX agents worldwide. “I’m a firm believer of manifesting life. When we put goodness out into the universe, we will be rewarded for it. And I think that outlook carried me through my surgeries and has allowed me to be back on my feet, healthy and helping other people every day.” Adapting plans when life changes courseReal estate is where Morley thrives. But that wasn’t his initial plan. “I’ve always been passionate about making a real difference, so I used to want to be a firefighter. But going that route was actually the reason they found my aortic aneurysm,” Morley shares. “I went to do a physical for the fire department, and they were like, ‘Are you aware that you have this serious health condition?’ I was completely blindsided.” He continues, “I was also lost. I had been training hard, working at the hospital in Calgary and putting all my energy into becoming this pillar in the community through fighting fires. And then all of a sudden, this hidden aneurysm appears. Within days, everything I knew changed. Doctors told me I’d have to be monitored closely for years, and I would certainly never be a firefighter.” Feeling directionless, he turned his professional ambition to real estate – and quickly found direction. “I soon came to the realization that I can, in fact, support my community in a similar way through real estate that I thought I would as a firefighter,” Morley reflects. “I thought that by implementing all of my core values, I could refocus it in a way where I

In May, outside temperatures began to rise, along with activity in the housing market ahead of summer. Many people made a late springtime move, exemplified by an 8.6% increase of home sales from April to May across the U.S. This is according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report, a comprehensive monthly analysis of the latest homebuying and selling trends. The May 2025 report was comprised of aggregated data from 52 metro areas. This latest report noted increasing levels of housing inventory nationwide – a continuation of a trend over recent months. The total number of homes for sale in May was 8.3% higher than April, and 34.8% higher than one year ago in May 2024. For a whopping 17 months in a row now, inventory has grown annually. A driver of the increased inventory is the many new listings hitting the market. In May, there was a 4.4% increase of new listings over the month prior and a 7.9% increase in new listings year over year. In another impressive streak, May marks the 15th month in a row where the number of new listings has grown annually. “Rising sales, growing inventory, declines in days on market and steady prices are all encouraging signs for the housing industry,” says Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. “It’s great to see the spring market end on a solid note, and we’re optimistic that this momentum could carry into an active summer season.” How long are homes spending on the market?According to the May REMAX report, homes across the U.S. spent an average of 39 days on the market before selling. This was two days lower than April, but five days higher than May 2024. An annual increase of days on market and decrease in home sales percentage (down 3.5% in May from the same time last year) point to slower market activity in late-spring 2025 compared to late-spring 2024. What’s up with home prices?The May data revealed that, on average, buyers paid 99% of the asking price – equal to April but slightly below the 100% seen in May 2024. The median sales price across all 52 metro area was $442,000, up 1% from April and up a nominal 0.6% from May 2024. However, prices tend to vary greatly by market. A few examples: Markets with the biggest year-over-year increase in median sales price: Trenton, New Jersey – a 9.9% increase, with a median sales price of $487,500 Hartford, Connecticut – an 8.5% increase, with a median sales price of $385,000 Honolulu, Hawaii – an 8.3%, with a median sales price of $750,000 Markets with the biggest year-over-year decrease in median sales price: Bozeman, Montana – a 12.0% decrease, with a median sales price of $650,000 Tampa, Florida – a 3.7% decrease, with a median sales price of $370,000 Seattle, Washington – a 3.2% decrease, with a median sales price of $750,000 Since local market conditions differ from place to place, homebuyers and sellers benefit significantly from working with a real estate professional that has ample experience and local expertise. A trusted agent can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transaction. Ready to make a move? Get in touch with a REMAX agent today.

“Everyone deserves a good home.” That’s Michelle Neville’s motto for her REMAX business. And it doesn’t stop with people. Neville, an agent with REMAX Revealty in Columbus, Ohio, has helped nearly 400 rescue puppies find permanent homes over the past decade. She fosters dogs in her house. She advocates for them online. And she leverages her real estate career to make a real difference in their lives. Neville3Michelle NevilleFrom a “ruff” start to a happy homeIt all began one fateful night when Ohio was facing a brutal winter snowstorm. Neville and her daughter, who shares her mother’s passion for compassion, heard about an animal shelter in the southern part of the state that was experiencing chilly temps from weather-related power outages – and desperately needed foster homes for its dogs. The duo hopped in the car and drove for hours in treacherous conditions, returning only after their seats were filled with grateful furry passengers. They came home with 22 dogs and puppies, providing a warm place to rest before quickly getting adopted. That was day one of Neville’s animal rescue journey – and the rest is history. At any given time, Neville has multiple pups from a local rescue, Stop the Suffering, bunking with her before they find their forever homes. She often takes in pregnant mother dogs who need a safe space to give birth, away from the confines of the shelter. Neville has helped deliver dozens of litters of rescue puppies – and she works tirelessly to help them reach their next chapter. Neville posts about the dogs on social media, sharing photos to generate adoption interest from her sphere. She also gives her time and resources to Stop the Suffering, where she – along with a network of incredible animal rescuers – screens potential adopters, conducts background checks and attends vet visits. “I’m known as the puppy lady,” Neville quips. “When people in my area are looking to welcome a dog into their home, they know they can come to me to help make it happen. The best part is that they’re changing the life of a shelter dog in doing so.” Neville1Neville2Dogs and puppies feeling at-home in their foster house.Where rescue meets real estateNeville says her two big initiatives – rescuing dogs and selling real estate – have more overlap than she anticipated. “I’ve seen people adopt their first dog and become pet parents. And I’ve seen people buy a home and become homeowners for the first time. I’m so grateful that I get to play a role in both of these important milestones in people’s lives,” she says. “It’s simple: I’m going to help you find the dog of your dreams. I’m going to help you find the home of your dreams. And I’m going to help you find the home of your dog’s dreams.” Neville found an additional way to connect the two worlds. Each time she helps someone buy or sell a home, she donates a portion of her commission to local animal rescue organizations on behalf of her clients. This remarkable initiative has helped Neville’s local business feel truly rooted in the community. It’s also helped grow her business’ client base – and expand her reach for people looking to

What’s the biggest financial transaction a person will make in their lifetime? For many, it’s buying a home. Homeownership is a significant milestone that can provide stability, promote financial wellbeing, and serve as a backdrop for life’s memories. During National Homeownership Month, learn 10 facts about homeownership in the U.S. today: 1. The current rate of homeownership is 65.1%In the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. census revealed the latest homeownership rate to be 65.1%, a stat that signifies the quantity of owner-occupied homes across the country. Just a few months prior, in Q4 2024, the rate was 65.7%. The national rate of homeownership hasn’t changed too much in recent years. In 2020, the national homeownership rate was 65.8%. 2. Interest rates on many mortgage loan products are hovering between 6% and 7%As June gets underway, mortgage interest rates continue to linger largely in the mid to high 6% range depending on the specific loan product, according to Bankrate. For example, the 30-year fixed-rate loan is hovering around 6.9%. Various loan options – from FHA to VA to ARM and more – will likely present fluctuating rates that also can depend on other qualifying factors of a homebuyer. 3. The Baby Boomer generation is currently the largest cohort of U.S. homebuyersPer the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) 2025 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report, the Baby Boomer generation – comprising people between 60 and 78 years old – accounts for 42% of all homebuyers. This solidifies their standing as the largest share of homebuyers in today’s market, ahead of millennials (ages 26-44 years old) who account for 29% of all homebuyers – down 9% from one year ago. 4. 63% of the emerging generation of homebuyers (Gen Z and millennials) are ready to become homeownersThe majority of younger real estate consumers who don’t own a home yet are ready to do so, according to a survey from REMAX that analyzed the homeownership trends of people from Gen Z and millennial cohorts. REMAX data shows that 63% of prospective homebuyers surveyed indicated they are interested, eager and ready to become homeowners. 5. Affording upfront costs is the biggest hurdle faced by many of today’s younger homebuyersThe same REMAX survey found that certain financial considerations are holding some Gen Z and millennial prospective homebuyers back. The biggest obstacle these generations see standing between them and homeownership is the ability to afford upfront costs like a down payment. Monthly mortgage bills, property taxes and regular house upkeep were cited as additional obstacles these two generations are concerned about when pursuing homeownership. 6. 66% of Gen Z and millennial homeowners say owning a home makes their life less stressfulHomeownership often comes with physical, financial and emotional benefits. For the Gen Z and millennials who do own homes, two-thirds believe the stability that comes from ownership alleviates stress from their lives, according to the 2024 REMAX Future of Real Estate Report. The report notes that more buyers from these generations are pursing properties they can feel rooted in and grow with, seeing dwellings less as “starter homes” and more as longer-term security. 7. “Wellness real estate” is a growing phenomenonThe same REMAX report noted an ongoing uptick in the wellness real estate trend, focusing on how an increasing number of younger real estate consumers view a home as a place that provides comfort, joy and emotional fulfillment in a modernized and evolving way. Consequently, the Global Wellness Institute predicts that homes specifically designed to support holistic health is a space estimated to be valued at $887 billion dollars by 2027. 8.

According to Inman, the annual Future Leaders accolade “celebrates the next generation of visionaries who are forging new paths, introducing transformative ideas, and making significant contributions to the evolution of real estate practices.” The award recognizes extraordinary leaders under 40 years old. Meet the two REMAX affiliates honored on this year’s list of exceptional real estate leaders: Ricky RathoreRicky RathoreAs Co-Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Metropolis Realty Brokerage, with locations throughout Ontario, Ricky Rathore is helping hundreds of entrepreneurs thrive.

Amar Singh BadhAmar Singh BadhAn agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Services in Vancouver, British Columbia, Amar Singh Badh leverages his real estate business to serve the community in a multitude of ways.

So far, in the four years he’s been in real estate, more than 15,000 trees and kelp have been planted as a result. He lends a helping hand in other ways, too, including contributing to the rebuilding of homes for families in Fiji in the wake of natural disasters, and getting involved in other purpose-driven community service efforts. One of these efforts – and something cornerstone to Badh’s REMAX business – is holding the title of REMAX Miracle Agent and supporting Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals where he donates money to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The busy spring housing market is underway across the U.S., made clear by a March-to-April uptick of home sales, new listings, sales prices and more. A downtick in the number of days homes are spending for sale is an indicator of market momentum, too. In April, homes nationwide spent an average of 40 days on market before selling – four days quicker than March and six days quicker than February. This is according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report, which aggregated data from 51 metro areas across the country for a clear picture of current real estate trends. The report underscores how market activity varies greatly by location.
