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.

"Buying a property is a long and stressful process. As first time buyers, we needed a realtor that we could trust and who had the patience to guide us through every single step. Paul has been tremendous in every aspect of the process. He spent a great deal of time educating us on the market to narrow down the neighbourhoods that would best fit our lifestyle, informed us on the best managed buildings in town and also asked us the right questions to make sure the place would fit our long term goals.
You can count on him to be dedicated and to spend countless hours working on closing the deal.
We highly recommend Paul and will be using his service in the future."
