Real Estate Market in Flux

Thursday, May 09, 2013

If you've been following the real estate news at all over the past few months, you'll have seen that the market is in flux at the moment. This shift towards smaller price gains and somewhat fewer sales overall is happening at both the national level and the local level here in Toronto and the rest of southern Ontario.

In all the doom and gloom predictions, though, there are a few things you should remember if you're considering buying or selling a home. First, the experts disagree quite strongly as to whether we're seeing a protracted downturn in the market overall or, conversely, a stabilizing and balancing of a market that had been previously overheated. And second, it's important to remember that averages don't tell us the whole story, or even very much of it: if you are considering a purchase or a sale, you'll need to know about the micromarket(s) you're dealing with. That's why you need a knowledgeable agent who understands the market as a whole and the micromarket in which you'll be buying or selling.

If you'd like to discuss how I can help you fulfill your real estate goals, please give me a call or send me an email anytime.

"Having had Paul act as my agent on several purchase and rental transactions, I have come away impressed by his skill, enthusiasm and professionalism. His willingness to go above and beyond to complete a sale, or negotiate a more palatable deal has helped me execute on several properties quickly and efficiently. While execution is his primary strength in my opinion, he is also diligent in his screening process. This has ensured that during showings, he is able to provide honest color on a unit or area that my previous agents have been unable to. This makes the process educational and allows me to avoid pitfalls that plague many first/second time home buyers/renters. All in all I would count Paul as an extraordinary asset and would highly recommend his services in the future."
