any family considerations.
Is the inventory of homes at a premium or a low?
Your REALTOR® will also point to the fact that perhaps
the size and price point of your home may not be an
issue regarding timing and attracting the right buyer.
REALTORS® may discuss with you the preparation details
of listing your home, their selling strategies, and
the ease of capturing eager buyers if you are thinking
of selling at the most opportune time. Expensive
homes call for different considerations; as do holiday
homes. Sellers will be looking for that one right buyer
who will afford their home. That one buyer might be
looking regardless of the season. And first time buyers
could potentially be on the look out for a small home
and may not have any time constraints. Condos and
townhomes may have their own considerations in the
current marketplace.
Realistically there might be times when you have no
choice to make the change, nor the time or season for
your listing or your purchase.
Focus on the current market and property trends is
important:
Who does the real estate market currently favour – buyers
or sellers?
What is the short and/or long-term forecast for the
market?
How much competition is there on your street?
Which bracket does your home fall in to?
Which demographic will be interested in your home?
Are your families’ needs governed by certain priorities?
Is there a rebate for first time buyers? Is there an expiry
date?
Is the season you move a consideration?
What does your REALTOR® suggest?
Will buying or selling in the fall season maximize the
potential for your wish list? Discuss all your primary
considerations, concerns, needs and requirements
with your REALTOR®. They will bring you up to speed
with what is happening in the market and how that
will impact the sale of your home, and/or your next
home purchase. The real estate market fluctuates and
changes from year to year. There are no hard and fast
rules. Make sure you proceed by planning strategically
and accordingly to get the most out of your real estate
experience.

or the neighbourhood you are looking to buy
