💰 Unlock Home Equity: Smart Moves in Today's Market! 🏡

Feeling stuck with a house full of equity but no clue what to do with it? You’re not alone.

You’ve got a house that’s worth a fortune — but you’re stuck.

You’re not sure if you should sell, borrow, or stay put… and all the advice out there? Confusing, generic, and not designed for real-life applications.

In this episode of Elementary, I break down the real talk behind home equity — what it actually costs to tap into it, and how to make a plan that works for your lifestyle (not your lender’s).

We cover everything from:

🏦 The true risks of reverse mortgages and HELOCs (yep, there’s fine print)
🔥 The hidden cost of staying in a big home — even when it’s paid off
📦 Why downsizing doesn’t have to mean “less” — just different
📉 Pricing strategy truths in today’s buyer’s market (and why that $999K home didn’t sell)
🎯 Why buyers are skipping your listing — and how to fix it with better staging and marketing
🛠️ What "curb appeal" actually means — and no, it’s not about a $10K garden

This isn’t about selling fast. This is about selling smart — or borrowing wisely, if that’s your path. Because you’ve worked too hard to throw money away on bad advice.

👀 Thinking of pulling money out of your home? Thinking of listing? Or just plain overwhelmed by options?
Grab your tea — this one’s going to save you stress and cash.

🎙️ Hosted by Jacqueline Watson, Realtor & Downsizing Strategist, Toronto.
