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
