New CENTURY 21 Integrity Opens in Sudbury
Vancouver, B.C. (March 23, 2022)—CENTURY 21 Canada continues to grow with the addition of a new franchise, CENTURY 21 Integrity in Sudbury, Ontario.
New owners Tasha Carriere and Julie Robert both cite the warm support and cutting-edge technology provided by CENTURY 21 as reasons for choosing the legacy brand, now going into its 46th year of operation. “When thinking about opening our own brokerage, we knew we wanted to move to a brand that was constantly innovating and that we could form a positive, long lasting relationship with. The excellent response and support we received were unmatched by any other brand in the industry,” says Carriere. “We have been surrounded by a team of professionals who are invested in our success. CENTURY 21 Canada has a long history of excellence in customer service and, as a brand, holds the same values we do. The technology offered far exceeded our expectations, and we know our agents will love having access to the training and marketing provided. The elegant and modern branding will be appreciated by agents and clients, and we are looking forward to building a strong presence in the market.”
Both owners are bringing a wealth of experience to their new brokerage, with Robert having been in the industry for eleven years and Carriere for twelve. Their immediate goals focus on building both a team of Realtors that prioritize client care, and a reputation of providing the best in technology and support for that team, which they aim to grow to over fifty agents. Carriere highlights their media tools, “We are enhancing our office with all the tools they need to make videos for both their listings and communicating with their clients. Our agents are loving the resources that C21 has offered them and they are quickly learning they have the advantage in the market!”
Robert adds, “When leaving our old brand, we wanted to choose a brand that we could grow with, one that would be invested in our agents’ success. We were impressed with the tools and the support we received in getting everything implemented, since day one.”
The new franchise will be serving Sudbury, ON, a fast-growing market as more buyers branch out from the Greater Toronto Area and the busy markets of the surrounding cities and suburbs. “We’re really excited for them,” says Gary Zalepa, VP of Brand Expansion, Eastern Canada for CENTURY 21 Canada. “Julie and Tasha bring a wealth of knowledge, they’ll have a lot of opportunity in the community and we know we’ll be seeing a lot of Century 21 growth in Sudbury.”
The opening of a new franchisee continues the trend of expansion for CENTURY 21 Canada, which saw twenty-one renewals and nine new franchisees in 2021.

CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Raises Record-Breaking $60,000 for Easter Seals
August 12, 2021 – The 16th Annual Showcase of Celebrities Golf Tournament raised a record-breaking $60,000 last month in Barrie. Despite a rainy day for golf, supporters and a team for CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty hosted an incredible event with an even more exciting result.
The tournament took place in early July at Bear Creek Golf Club in Barrie, ON with 180 golfers over 3 shotgun times. Part of the remarkable amount raised at the event will purchase 4 pieces of mobility equipment that kids in their community have been desperately waiting for. The remainder of the generous donations will help support children living with disabilities and get them access to essential specialized equipment.
After the rainy game, the players enjoyed a social event with hockey celebrities Doug Gilmour & Kirk Muller, plus TSN broadcaster Ken Reid. The three hockey greats shared stories from their NHL playing, coaching, and refereeing days. Attendees also heard from guest speaker, Daniella Altieri, the 17-year-old Easter Seals Ontario Ambassador.

National Home Prices Spike in 2021 with Atlantic Canada Seeing Unprecedented Increases
Vancouver (August 11, 2021) – House prices across Canada have grown significantly over the past year, particularly in Atlantic Canada and more recreational locations, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The fifth annual Price per Square Foot survey is being released by CENTURY 21 Canada and shows that real estate continues to be an excellent investment for Canadians. While real estate is most often dependent on the local market, the past year has seen widespread increases in prices from coast to coast.
In its annual, nationwide study, CENTURY 21 Canada compared the price per square foot of properties sold between January 1 and June 30 this year, compared to the same period last year.
“Looking at the prices across Canada, there isn’t one region that hasn’t seen price growth in the past year,” says Brian Rushton, Executive Vice-President of CENTURY 21 Canada. “When the pandemic began in 2020, the market became unchartered territory. But because of low inventory and high demand from buyers looking for a larger space, prices have steadily climbed for the past year, particularly detached homes. Over the past couple of months, that growth has slowed and condo prices have started increasing again– it’s still a seller’s market from Victoria to St. John’s.”
When COVID-19 began to take hold in spring 2020, the belief was that the market would struggle. However, after an initial dip, pent up demand for housing, particularly detached homes, increased prices throughout last fall and earlier this year, in part due to a lack of supply. As evidenced in the data, prices in central major metros have been softer than those in traditionally less expensive markets like Owen Sound and Atlantic Canada.
Rushton says prices have moderated over the past couple of months. “This is typical of what we see through the summer months, but all signs are pointing to another busy fall as inventory across the country continues to be low with plenty of buyers waiting to make a move as soon as they can.”
Regional highlights:
Atlantic
Atlantic Canada has long been seen as the most affordable region in Canada for housing. But over the past year, prices have consistently increased with work from home becoming a viable option for many workers. Halifax has seen the biggest increase in prices, but Charlottetown, Fredericton, Moncton, and St. John’s are all seeing double-digit increases.
“Because we are still affordable, people are flocking here,” says Paul Burns, Manager at CENTURY 21 A&T Countryside Realty. “Between people from Ontario finding that they can afford a home in Atlantic Canada, newcomers increasingly locating here, and locals who want to stay, this region is seeing prices we’ve never seen before.”
British Columbia
BC real estate is the most expensive in the country and remains so again this year. Prices in the outskirts of the city saw the largest increase with Chilliwack prices up over 40 percent to $406 per square foot, Delta up 38 percent to $50 per square foot and White Rock/South Surrey up 44 percent to $625 per square foot. Kelowna also saw solid increases with prices up anywhere between 20 and 30 percent, depending on what home type the consumer is choosing.
Quebec
Real estate in Quebec has been strong for several years now. Yet again, prices increased significantly since last year, with the price of a detached house in Montreal’s downtown and southwest rising 41 percent to $1350 per square foot while townhouses increased 22 percent to $937 per square foot and condos 16 percent to $935. Over the past five years prices in Montreal have essentially caught up to those in Vancouver and Toronto. “Montreal saw affordable prices for many years, but people saw the value in this city and the cost of a home is now on par with other major cities in the country,” says Mohamad Al-Hajj, owner of CENTURY 21 Immo-Plus in Montreal.
Ontario
2019 to 2020 saw modest growth in Ontario, and the past year has seen even bigger increases. Most notably, the prices in Owen Sound and Grey Bruce are up more than 80 percent. “Demand has been off the charts,” says Mike Seiler, owner of CENTURY 21 In Studio Realty. “Our clients are moving up from Toronto now that they can work from home. People are also realizing how much more space you can get once you get out of the metro area.”
Suburbs have all seen double-digit increases in prices, with the highest in those communities that are just a little outside a regular commute. “Now that people are commuting a few times a week rather than every day, they’re willing to be a bit further from their jobs in order to secure a bigger home at a more affordable price,” says Eryn Richardson of CENTURY 21 Heritage Group.
Prices in downtown Toronto condos were actually slightly down for the first six months of the year, but are coming back strong. 2021 started with lower prices than we saw in the initial pandemic, but have increased as the year went on. Ottawa condos were also down year over year but, they too are rebounding as 2021 continues.
Prairies
Prairie house prices have seen some growth, although they are the slowest growing areas of the province. Saskatoon homes are up nearly twenty percent to $314 per square foot although condo prices remained flat and Regina properties only saw minor increases in prices. Winnipeg saw the biggest gains with homes up as much as twenty percent to $293 per square foot for a house and $241 per square foot for a condo.
Alberta
Even Yellowknife properties have seen an increase in prices. Both houses and duplexes have seen double digit increases while other house types have seen more subtle changes.
“This is the fifth consecutive year we have done this survey and, while previous years showed that real estate is a local story, we have seen widespread increases across the country this year,” says Mr. Rushton. “Real estate is security—both emotional and physical—and after the pandemic people continue to want to invest in the places they want to spend the most time.”
CENTURY 21 Canada’s annual survey of data on the price per square foot (PPSF) of properties gathers and compares sales data from its franchises across Canada from January 1 to June 30 of each year. By looking at the price per square foot at the same time each year the firm is able to get a good idea of how prices have changed over time for similar properties. This year’s survey compares 2020 prices with this year’s results.

More than $50,000 Raised in Golden Heart Virtual Challenge for Easter Seals Kids
July 7, 2021 – Easter Seals Ontario has wrapped up its 45-day Golden Heart Virtual Challenge in partnership with various CENTURY 21 offices to support Easter Seals kids. Thanks to their unstoppable effort, over $50,000 was raised for Easter Seals children and youth in Ontario, surpassing their initial goal.
To help raise funds for accessibility and mobility equipment, participants were required to move 221km from May 1 to June 14 by running, walking, biking, rolling, swimming, or even working out. Participants moved 24,582km in total!
“We love supporting Easter Seals year after year,” says Theresa Kerr of CENTURY 21 BJ Roth in Barrie, Ontario. “Even with all of us separated physically it was important that we came together in some way to support these kids and provide what we can for them.”
Since the pandemic, many kids living with physical disabilities were stuck at home without the mobility and accessibility equipment they require to move around and complete basic functions. All the funds raised through the Virtual Challenge will help purchase this urgently needed equipment to help Easter Seals children and youth make the most of their abilities and live their lives to the fullest.
A special thank you to all the CENTURY 21 Canada members and offices that contributed their time and fundraising efforts in support of Easter Seals Ontario. Five different offices contributed to this challenge:
Participating CENTURY 21 Canada offices:
- CENTURY 21 Heritage House Ltd. Brokerage
- CENTURY 21 Heritage Group Ltd. Newmarket
- CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd. Brokerage
- CENTURY 21 In-Studio Realty Inc.
- CENTURY 21 Percy Fulton Ltd.
Their relentless commitment to helping their community has assisted in creating a more inclusive and accessible society and qualified the following agents for the Golden Heart Award – earned when an individual C21 member raises a minimum of $2,100 for Easter Seals.
Golden Heart Award Winner during the Virtual Challenge 2021:
- Prescott/Kilius Team – Century 21 Heritage Group Ltd. Newmarket, Newmarket, ON
- Kim Mugford – CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd. Brokerage, Innisfil, ON
- Theresa Kerr – CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty Ltd. Brokerage, Barrie, ON

- Merilyn McCart – CENTURY 21 Heritage Group Ltd. Brokerage, Newmarket, ON
- Gizella Nyulas – CENTURY 21 Heritage Group Ltd. Brokerage, Richmond Hill, ON
Andrea Peterson, with Easter Seals Ontario adds, “Not only did we make all of our goals, but we also surpassed them! Words are not enough to express the appreciation we have to each of you for stepping up and helping our Easter Seals Kids.”
CENTURY 21 Real Estate LLC Tops List of Fastest Growing Franchises
Entrepreneur magazine list ranks brands with greatest growth in past year
March 9, 2021, Vancouver— Entrepreneur magazine has released its annual list of Fastest-Growing Franchises, and CENTURY 21 Real Estate LLC takes the number one spot in the 2021 rankings. The fastest-growing ranking is based on the net total new units worldwide from July 2019 to July 2020. (In previous years, only US and Canadian unit growth was considered—2021 marks the first year that the ranking is based on systemwide growth, in recognition of the increasingly global nature of franchising.)
“This is very exciting news for the company,” says Vice Chairman and CEO of CENTURY 21 Canada Martin Charlwood. “We know this is a great brand to be associated with, and it looks like the rest of the world is seeing the value of the brand as well.”
The success on the global stage is evident in Canada. In 2020, CENTURY 21 Canada had 13 of its existing franchises renew with the company. It also had nine new franchises open its doors, and another two so far in 2021. “We feel we offer the best value for REALTORS®—from technology, to training and culture,” says Executive Vice-President Brian Rushton.
CENTURY 21 has been operating in Canada for 45 years and its franchise owners and Realtors also rank highly in global rankings. In 2020, Mark Li from CENTURY 21 Leading Edge Realty in Toronto was the #1 Producer in the world, and The Goodale Miller Team from CENTURY 21 Miller Real Estate was the number one team. Canada also had seven of the top 21 companies in the world and ten of the top 21 offices.
Charlwood adds, “This past year once again confirmed that owning real estate is very important to Canadians as many people have really assessed their surroundings with purpose, and we are happy to have our Realtors deliver the gold standard to clients from coast to coast.”
New logo and redesign invigorates the brand
The renewed interest in the brand is no surprise to some Canadian network members. Troy Vaillancourt, broker of CENTURY 21 Shield Realty in Cornwall, Ontario, credits the new logo and brand design for modernizing the CENTURY 21 image in consumer’s minds. He had been with another brand for many years when he was approached to be an owner at CENTURY 21 in 2017.
“I originally saw CENTURY 21 as a dated company but liked the legacy it has in Canada and around the world. Once the new brand identity was launched in 2018, I noticed a real shift in the perception of the brand. Now, knowing everything that CENTURY 21 Canada offers to real estate professionals and consumers, it doesn’t surprise me that more people are seeing the value of the company.”
Vaillancourt lives and works in a smaller community and says that he’s certainly seeing how the brand now appeals to a younger demographic. CENTURY 21 has always been part of local communities in Canada, raising more than $11 million for Easter Seals since 1978. “The culture feels like a family business even though we are all independent franchises across the country.”
