Recognized Among Canada’s Top 100 REALTORS®: 2025 Milestones

Posted on March 25, 2026 by Jodi Bernard

Consistency matters in real estate. In 2025, I was honoured to be recognized multiple times among Century 21’s Top 100 producers in Canada—reflecting steady results, not just one strong month.

2025 Recognition Highlights

These achievements are based on real production and closed transactions—not projections or marketing metrics.

Top 100 Producers by Production (October 2025)
Top 100 Producers by Units (October 2025)
Outstanding Achievement – Third Quarter 2025
Top 100 Producers by Units (July 2025)
Pacesetter Platinum – Mid-Year 2025
Outstanding Achievement – Second Quarter 2025
Outstanding Achievement – First Quarter 2025

What These Awards Actually Mean for Clients

Real estate awards only matter if they translate into better outcomes for buyers and sellers. For my clients, these milestones reflect:

Consistent performance across different markets and seasons
Strong negotiation skills backed by real transaction data
Experience with complex deals, rural properties, and conditional purchases
Reliable execution—from first showing to closing day

I don’t chase volume for the sake of numbers. Every transaction still gets hands-on attention, honest advice, and a strategy tailored to the property and the client.

Focused on Prince Edward Island Real Estate

My business is built almost entirely on Prince Edward Island real estate—working with local buyers, sellers, and out-of-province clients relocating to PEI.

That means deep familiarity with:

PEI neighbourhoods and rural communities
Well and septic considerations
Waterfront and acreage properties
Seasonal and year-round homes
PEI-specific buying conditions and timelines

Thank You

These recognitions wouldn’t be possible without the trust of my clients, referrals from past buyers and sellers, and the support of my brokerage at Century 21 Northumberland Realty.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling on PEI in 2025 or beyond, I’m always happy to talk through your plans—even if you’re just gathering information.

Prince Edward Island Real Estate Market Update – January 2026

Posted on March 15, 2026 by Jodi Bernard

20% Dip in PEI Home Sales in January — No Cause for Alarm

Recent data from the Prince Edward Island Real Estate Association (PEIREA) shows that home sales on Prince Edward Island were down more than 20% in January 2026 compared to January 2025. While that headline might sound concerning at first glance, industry experts say it’s largely part of normal seasonal patterns rather than a sign of a declining market.

What the Numbers Show

According to the latest report:

88 homes sold in January 2026
111 homes sold in January 2025
New listings dropped 12.5%
Benchmark home price reached $371,700, up 1.7% year-over-year

While sales activity slowed, prices remain stable, which suggests the overall market is still balanced.

A Seasonal Market Pattern

Real estate activity on PEI tends to follow a predictable seasonal pattern. Winter months — particularly January — are traditionally slower.

Shorter days, colder temperatures, and snow can make buying or selling more challenging. Many homeowners also prefer to wait until spring when properties tend to show better and buyer activity increases.

Because of this, one slower month does not necessarily indicate a long-term trend.

Buyers Are More Cautious

Economic conditions and higher mortgage costs have made buyers more thoughtful about their decisions.

Compared to pre-pandemic levels, the cost of homeownership has increased significantly due to higher interest rates and larger required down payments. As a result, buyers today are taking more time to review their options, compare properties, and speak with lenders before making an offer.

This doesn’t mean buyers have disappeared — it simply means they are being more deliberate.

A More Balanced Market

Many realtors believe the current market is healthier than the highly competitive conditions seen during the pandemic.

In a balanced market:

Buyers have time to conduct inspections and due diligence
Sellers still benefit from stable pricing
Negotiations become more reasonable for both sides

Buyers are also becoming more informed and research-driven, ensuring they understand the value of a property before committing.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, the current environment can present opportunities. With less urgency in the market, it may be easier to evaluate homes carefully and avoid overpaying.

For sellers, properly pricing a property and presenting it well remain the key factors to attracting serious buyers.

As the spring market approaches, activity across Prince Edward Island typically begins to pick up again.

📍 If you're looking to explore Charlottetown homes for sale or Summerside homes for sale, understanding local market trends can help you make more confident decisions.

If you have questions about the PEI real estate market or are thinking about buying or selling, working with a local realtor who understands current trends can make a significant difference.
