Raptors fever has descended upon Toronto! For the first time in the history of the Raptors franchise, WE THE NORTH are in the NBA finals ! GO Raptors Go !!! So back to real estate, as we expected the number of new listings to hit the MLS after the long weekend was innumerable. Buyers were waiting patiently for the impending influx of new listings to satisfy a hungry desire for a place to call home. They now have choices. It was an interesting week with some listings receiving bully offers, some getting multiple offers and other properties we thought were priced to sell and did not get any offers. The question arises again as to “how do we price a property?” Now with more available listings should we price low or price at market value? It’s a mixed consensus when you ask around.
“WE THE NORTH”- GO RAPTORS. Fingers crossed we make it to the finals! So, the long weekend is over, the weather is improving, and as we have seen year-in and year-out the final push is on for the spring market before we start thinking about heading to the cottage or our summer vacations. So far so good! As for the overall GTA housing market, news in the media is all rosy, and looking ahead a balance between demand and supply is setting the stage for further modest price increases in the near term.
