After one year in a new home, your living room is pretty well put together.
We’d like to think our Living Room is no different.
This month marks the one-year anniversary of launching REALTOR.ca’s consumer-focused blog, Living Room, and the French equivalent, Salon. The blog covers topics such as market trends, home improvement, neighbourhood guides, unique homes, interior design and DIY projects.
