MARKET UPDATE

It was a positive week on Wall Street as major U.S. indexes continued their upward momentum, signaling growing investor confidence in both tech and the broader economy.

REAL ESTATE UPDATE

The Canadian office market continues to find its footing in Q3 2025, with vacancy levels showing signs of stabilization across most major cities, according to the latest data from Colliers.

What I think?
The message for business owners and investors is clear: the market is stabilizing, not shrinking. Cities like Victoria and Vancouver show that well-located, high-quality offices remain in demand. For entrepreneurs and landlords, this could be the ideal window to lock in favorable lease terms before rents climb again.
