Welcome to our new blog and thanks for being here!

Buying a new home can be a daunting undertaking. The market is competitive, location is a key factor and ensuring you have the budget to accommodate the largest purchase of your life is paramount.

Summer is a favourite season for many, with so many places to visit in good weather and a myriad of things to do for the whole family.

With over a year into this pandemic, we find ourselves back at home during another lockdown. In these challenging times, it’s important to remember our faithful local businesses who tirelessly adapt and work to stay open and serve the public, even as their doors must remain closed.

With Ontario still in the midst of a pandemic and after a full year of living and working from home, we are growing accustomed to a different lifestyle – one with limited options and at times, less balance between work and play.

New year, new space! More and more people are working remotely and it may be time to refresh and reset your living space. Highmark Homes has a few home design trends to help rejuvenate your space and make living and working from home feel stylish, comfortable and brand new.

Whether it’s the end of a hot summer or the beginning of a crisp autumn, there’s always time to enjoy the Ontario outdoors. Some of the best memories are made on the playground, or the camp site and beyond. So we’re taking a trip outside and featuring some of the parks, trails, beaches and off leash dog parks in Durham region you can visit at any time of year!

One of the hallmarks of summer is the summer barbeque. For many that means enjoying a delicious burger or hot dog, whether meat or plant based.

Usually when we think of architecture, we imagine glorious castles, Gothic churches, stunning temples, and island oases; but Canada has its share of beautiful architecture.

Every year as spring approaches, we look forward to getting our garden, lawns, and patios set up for a fun summer.
