The market determines the value of your property, so your property is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.

When considering an ideal list price, it is important to consider the following important points:

Location, size, condition, current market conditions, current interest rates & local competition.

One of the best ways to determine the approximate value of your property is to complete a comparative market analysis (CMA) in order to compare your property to other similar properties that have recently sold in your area. Contact us today to book an appointment to receive your CMA.

The time it takes to sell a home can vary based on several factors, including the local real estate market, the condition of your property, and the asking price. While some homes sell quickly, others may take longer to find the right buyer. We can provide insights into current market conditions and comparable sales data to give you a realistic expectation of how long your home might be on the market. By pricing competitively and presenting your home effectively, you can increase your chances of selling within a reasonable timeframe.

CMA stands for “Comparative Market Analysis”. This is a document we prepare for our clients who are looking to sell their home. This document is based on many different factors such as recently sold properties in your area, features those properties had, features your property has, size of the properties, age of the properties, etc. After completing thorough research, we will compare your property to the other properties in order to assist you with determining a realistic list price. This document is very beneficial to sellers when deciding to list their home.

Selling a home involves various expenses beyond the sale price, so it's essential to budget accordingly. Common costs include real estate agent commissions, lawyer closing costs, potential repairs or upgrades to prepare the home for sale, and any outstanding mortgage balances or liens.

5% is the minimum requirement for a down payment in Canada and it is a great place to start. The average first-time buyer puts down 7%. You can work with a mortgage lender to play around with numbers and see how your downpayment amount offsets your monthly payment.

By getting pre-approved for a mortgage before you start looking at homes in person, you are putting yourself in a much better negotiating position for when you find the perfect property. In addition to this, you are able to determine what you can afford before falling in love with a property that may be out of your reach.

Text us, your buyer’s agents. It is best that you work with a specific buyer’s agent throughout your search because that person learns what you like and dislike and will invest a lot of time vetting properties for you. That person also represents your best interests only. When you call the agent advertising the home, you are dealing with the seller’s agent, so, while they can assist you, they are also representing the seller’s best interest.

The good news is that as a buyer, you are not on the hook to pay your real estate sales representative! The seller covers the costs of selling their property, which includes your buyer agent’s commission.

In addition to these potential costs, you may need to budget for any repairs that may be needed upon obtaining possession of the property.
