First day of school… and the fall market!
After the summer lull (such as it was this year), real estate in Toronto really picks up steam after Labour Day. Basically, the first day of school more or less coincides with the first day of the fall market. This week we’ll see an up-tick in the number of new listings, and that will increase even more next week. Pretty soon we’ll have a lot more selection, but keep in mind that the listings bring out the buyers: it’s going to get hot out there!
Buyers: if you haven’t done so in a while, dust off your mortgage pre-approval and make sure that it’s up-to-date – and don’t forget that you need a deposit, too. In the hyper-competitive Toronto market most listing agents and their sellers are looking for roughly 5% of the offer price.
Sellers: it’s a great time to put your property on the market. I think we’ll get roughly two months of good selling (somewhat weather dependent), but if you have things to do around the house/condo you need to get on that. It you really don’t want to get delayed beyond early November….
I’m here to help folks with their real estate goals, so let me know if I can do anything to help you!
