The air was so soft and eucalyptus-scented you could wrap yourself in it. Glasses clinked. The pool glinted in the slinking sun.

Toronto’s housing downturn has spurred an exodus of realtors

Not a lot surprises Cailey Heaps when it comes to buying and selling houses. Having spent more than 25 years as a broker in Toronto’s competitive real estate landscape, she has navigated almost every type of market, adapting to the ebbs and flows of sales activity.

That’s why, when she was hired to sell a classic, three-bedroom brick house in midtown’s tony Davisville Village in 2021, she knew what to expect — it would be business as usual.
