It's Happening Again

Hello Hockey fans from coast to coast, the NHL season is here the Leafs are stumbling, the Real Estate market is hot and for some all is right with the universe. First things first, the Real Estate market remains a hot seller's market. Inventory doesn't stay on the shelf long. A week ago during our office meeting we had three new listings to look at on our Wednesday morning tour and all three were gone by Monday morning. Without getting into numbers the most expensive property sold for 102 % of asking, the next one full asking price and the third one 10 thousand under asking. These three properties were in the 580,000 to 680,000 range. If you want to sell now is the time, if you want to buy do not mess around, be very proactive, find an agent, ( I would like to apply for the job) sign a deal and strike fast. So many people I have met at open houses over the last 2 months feel they can latch onto the listing agent and get a good deal. Not a good plan. Buyers get your own agent and get agressive. That might be something I should pass along to the Maple Leafs.
