I’m coming to you today from beautiful, sunny San Diego at the Mike Ferry Production Retreat with the top 1% of agents who were invited here to learn how to set up our year for 2017.

As dynamic as the real estate market is, there are many things that stay constant from year to year. One of these is the most common questions that we are asked by sellers. There are three of them, and I’m asked about them at nearly every listing appointment:

“

The first thing we’ll do is figure out your home’s value.

”

1. What is my house worth? In today’s market, everyone wants to know what their home is worth. That’s one of the first questions we answer in our market evaluation.

2. How long will it take to sell my home? Everyone has heard stories about homes that sell in mere days. We are able to answer that question within a day or two. Quite often, it’s very quick.

3. What are we going to do to sell the home? We have our plan fully written and typed out to show you exactly how we sell two homes per week on average. We provide this ahead of time so sellers like yourself can review it and have some of your most common questions answered.

If you have any other questions or know someone who has similar ones, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.

How Is the 2017 Toronto Real Estate Market Shaping Up?

One of the most common questions we get this time of year is, “How is the market doing? How will the market be this spring?”

First of all, I’m coming to you from our office. I’m here late because we’re working on another listing that we’re taking, as well as negotiating two offers. This pace has continued right through the holiday season.

A lot of that is driven by the fact that prices are still high, especially compared to 2014 and 2015. For the last couple of years, prices have grown. In fact, prices went up almost 24% across the greater Toronto area. That is a tremendous increase, and a lot of people are taking advantage of it by downsizing, moving up North, or moving to a cottage.

The market seems to be very strong right now. The changes in interest rates haven’t affected the market as much as we anticipated. Although a lot of first-time buyers got pushed out of the market because they couldn’t afford the rate increases, the markets in higher price ranges, like $600,000 and above, haven’t been affected.

“

The market is very strong right now.

”

As we continue into 2017, I expect that the market will be very strong. We have the lowest inventory that we’ve seen all year, so if you are thinking of selling your home, now is a great time to put your home on the market.

If you have any other questions about the real estate market or about selling your home, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
