It's The Price That Sells a Home

-
A few of the factors are very important in selling your house at a higher price, i.e.; location, condition of your home, and price. Location affects the value of a home, but it is the price that sells a home.
Oceanfront, mountainside, or penthouse, the most desirable location in the world won't sell at the wrong price.
There are buyers out there in the market that want their new dream homes in the best locations, locations that are well known, surrounded by the shopping centers and that have an easy access to the bus stations or that are closer to an individual’s workplace. A good location will sell at a fair price. A bad location will sell at a fair price, too. It just won't be as a high as it would be for a good location.
A good condition home will always sell at a fair price; however a home that is not maintained well, might sell at a lower price.
But neither location or condition will sell any house. Only one thing does that - price. Price of the homes go down the longer they are listed in the market to sell. Therefore, waiting for an ideal buyer to come along and to give you the highest price, is not beneficial, because there is a possibility, your home had lost the value in the long wait run. So if your home is represented by an agent, considering alternative options is a good idea.

With the new mortgage rule at hand, Canada’s Real Estate Market will bring new challenges and opportunities for the year 2018. Here are 5 Key Facts that you need to know. 1) More local than ever To begin with, there's no such thing as a Canadian real estate market. What happens in Toronto and Vancouver’s booming housing market is quite different from that in, say, recovering areas such as Calgary and Edmonton. The momentum for each month in national home sales activity gained strength late last year, and further expected economic and job growth will boost sales activity this year despite the rising interest rate.  According to  Canadian Real Estate Association  President Andrew Peck said, "Even so, momentum for home sales differs depending on location and type." "While activity remained below year-ago levels in the GTA, the decline there was more than offset by some sizable year-over-year gains in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Vancouver Is

What are the Forces Affecting the Real Estate Market?

-
There are several opinions on which direction the real estate market will go in 2017. Whether you are planning to buy or sell in the near future it is important to look at 5 forces that will affect the Canadian real estate industry in 2017.   1. U.S. Federal Reserve’s Interest Rates Although technically Canadian and American central banks set their interest rates autonomously from each other, changes in the U.S. rates generally has a huge impact on Canadian mortgages rates. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen raised rates by a quarter of a percentage point at the end of 2016, and has implied three more rate hikes will occur in 2017. Although it is doubtfully Yellen will take action so quickly, Canadians should expect mortgage rates to increase throughout the year. 2. Canadian Economy By and large the Canadian economy will not nose-dive if interest rates increase and the demand for homes decrease. But rising interest rates accompanied with an already weakening economy c

According to the real estate research organization Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Barrie and Brampton all have the potential to become leading housing markets in the next five years.
