Marketing Your Home.

-
If you are thinking of selling your home a sign on your lawn is of paramount importance, although a well-thought-out marketing plan is also essential.

Your REALTOR®

 

Marketing your home through a REALTOR® is very important as it opens a lot more doors for your home to sell fats and a higher price. The Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) is also a vital component in the selling process. One of the first things your REALTOR® will discuss with you is a marketing strategy designed to give your home maximum exposure. Your REALTOR® might already know a number of interested parties for your property and thus, will ensure you get the right price of your property.
In today's market it is essential to price your home realistically. To set the price right, your REALTOR® will prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Through this thorough, objective evaluation process, he or she will suggest a price range for your home, which will reflect current market conditions.
One of the main things to consider while getting a price of your home from a  REALTOR®  is to disclose everything related to the property, the neighborhood and the upgrades, so that you could get the right estimate and the right value of your home.

Open House and Closing Dates

 

An open house can be an effective marketing tool. During an open house or pre-arranged showing, it is a good idea to make sure that you and any other members of your family (including pets) are absent so that potential buyers will feel relaxed while viewing your home with your REALTOR®. Before any showing or open house, make sure your home is clean and uncluttered, both inside and out.

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

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.
