Matthew Prior - GTHA Real Estate

Directions Website

Matthew Prior - GTHA Real Estate I have had an interest in buildings and architecture since childhood. Here, I honed professional skills in customer service, marketing and negotiation.

This passion led me to pursue a degree in Community Design at Dalhousie University, and subsequently, a career in real estate. My years in commercial real estate with an international brokerage entailed a strong focus on the bottom line. Transitioning to residential real estate was a natural step, as I enjoy the more personal connection with clients and my community. Having experienced numerous moves throughout my own life, I’m comfortable with helping guide & support others through the process. I was born on the West coast and schooled on the East coast, but Halton has been my home for over 30 years. Oakville, Burlington Waterdown & Dundas are my communities, where I work, volunteer, and dabble in some social golf. My wonderful wife Alicia and I currently reside in the Shoreacres neighbourhood of South Burlington, with our two children Finn & Kylie. If you ever see us out on a walk or at the local parks, don’t hesitate to stop and say “hey,” although the kids might beat you to it.

🎅☕️ One week from today!

Looks like Santa already knows where everyone should go after the parade…

Next Saturday, right after the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, I’m opening up the office for our Post-Parade Party, and I’d genuinely love to see you there. Friends, family, clients, neighbours and especially the kids: come in from the cold, grab a hot chocolate and stay as long as you like.

🗓 Saturday, November 14
🕘 Parade starts at 9 AM. We’re open right after!

📍 210 Lakeshore Rd E, in Towne Square next to Centro

See you there! 🎄

2027 Interior Trends We’re Already Starting To See 👀

Interior design is moving toward warmer tones, natural materials and spaces that feel more personal. As we look ahead to 2027, here are a few trends already making their way into homes.

Warm, Earthy Colours — Think rich browns, muted greens, warm neutrals and deeper tones that add character without overwhelming a space.

Natural Materials — Wood, stone, textured finishes and organic materials are bringing more depth and warmth into interiors.

Curved Furniture & Soft Shapes — Rounded sofas, sculptural chairs and softer silhouettes are creating a more relaxed feel.

Statement Lighting — Unique pendants, oversized fixtures and architectural lighting are becoming design features in their own right.

Personality-Filled Spaces — More homeowners are moving away from cookie-cutter interiors in favour of vintage finds, meaningful pieces and details that reflect their style.

Layered Textures — Mixing materials like wood, linen, leather and stone adds dimension and makes a room feel more considered.

The common theme? Homes that feel comfortable, intentional and built around the people living in them.

Which trend would you bring into your home? Let us know in the comments! 👇

A Shift in Rates. A Moment to Reassess.

The Bank of Canada has announced a 25-basis-point increase to its key policy interest rate, bringing it to 2.50%.

As borrowing conditions evolve, thoughtful planning and a clear understanding of the market remain essential.

Real estate decisions are about more than today's interest rate. They're about timing, opportunity, and your long-term goals.

👻🏡 Mortgage Myths That Are Haunting Today’s Buyers

Buying a home comes with enough decisions — don’t let outdated mortgage myths make it feel even more intimidating. 🎃

💰 You always need a 20% down payment — Not necessarily. Depending on the purchase price and your circumstances, you may be able to buy with less.

📉 The lowest rate is always the best option — Rate matters, but mortgage terms, penalties and flexibility are important too.

🔑 A pre-approval guarantees your mortgage — A pre-approval is a helpful starting point, but final financing can still depend on your financial situation and the property.

💳 You need perfect credit to buy — Credit matters, but it’s only one part of the overall picture lenders consider.

⏰ You should wait for the “perfect” time to buy — There’s no one perfect market for everyone. Your budget, goals and personal timeline matter too.

Don’t let mortgage myths haunt your home search. 👻 Do your research, ask questions and speak with a qualified mortgage professional about what applies to your situation. 🏡🔑
