Expert homebuying advice from Nicole Kennedy, Director of Sales and Marketing, Mountainview Homes
December 19, 2024
There’s been no shortage of reasons for pause for some would-be homebuyers: Uncertainty over housing supply, interest rates, inflation, politics and the economy in general. But the pendulum looks to be swinging back the other way.
To help you understand all the factors to make a better, more informed homebuying decision, our 2024 Builders' Annual sat down with some of the industry’s top builders and developers for expert advice.
What is your outlook for the housing market in 2025?
The housing market in 2025 looks promising, with inflation down and consecutive interest rate reductions creating favourable conditions for buyers. This shift will likely boost attainability and encourage buyers to re-enter the market.
And for Mountainview Building Group? Any signature or milestone moments coming?
Mountainview is gearing up for an exciting year in 2025. We are thrilled to introduce a new collection of homes in several new communities within Niagara, which will feature a range of home options, including midrise condos, lowrise single-family homes and innovative multi-family homes. This diverse lineup is designed to cater to the evolving needs of today’s buyers, offering something for everyone – from first-time homebuyers to those looking to upsize or downsize. Our goal is to continue setting the benchmark for quality, design and customer satisfaction.
Inflation is down and we’ve seen consecutive interest rate reductions. As activity picks up, what are some of the reasons buyers should consider Mountainview?
Mountainview stands out for its award-winning quality, undeniably beautiful communities and customer-focused approach. Our new community releases, combined with our recognition as the 2024 OHBA Ontario Home Builder of the Year, position us for continued success. The award acknowledges our ongoing commitment to excellence in the industry and positive impact on the communities in which we build, solidifying Mountainview’s reputation as a homebuilding leader. Plus, receiving the Best Design Centre award in 2024 reflects our dedication to helping buyers make their dream homes a reality. At our Design House, every Mountainview purchaser has the opportunity to work with our expert team to personalize their home, from the floorplan changes to the finest details. This experience ensures that each home is a perfect reflection of the buyer’s vision. Buyers who choose Mountainview are not just investing in a house – they’re investing in a home built to the highest standards of quality.
What else about your company or communities would you like prospective buyers to know?

With well-thought-out floorplans, convenient access to schools and shopping, and an emphasis on family-friendly amenities, our communities are places where families can grow and thrive.
