Buyers will not tolerate hard sell techniques when purchasing something. This is especially true when making the most expensive purchase of their lifetime.

durham region homes for sale: Over Pricing Real Estate Is The Number One Reason It Does Not Sell - 06/09/08 05:25 PM
Pricing real estate should not be controlled by emotion. Sellers that ‘want to sleep on it' or ‘think about it for a few days' are only hurting themselves. Some real estate owners want to base their asking price on what they paid for the property or what they need to get. These are other mistakes that will cost them money in the long run. Real estate is worth no more than what comparable properties in the same area sold for recently. Buyers price real estate, not the sellers. These figures are easily obtained off the MLS system.

durham region homes for sale: Durham Region Real Estate Sales Will Set Records In 2008 - 12/12/07 12:47 PM
The volume of Durham Region real estate sales will experience tremendous growth in 2008. There are several factors that support this claim. The average price of a home in Durham Region, as of this post, is almost half of one in downtown Toronto. Buyers are becoming more conscientious of affordability. Beginning in January 2008, buyers will pay the new land transfer tax for all homes purchased in Toronto. This will increase the closing costs by thousands of dollars. Toronto is on track for a record year for crime and murders. Home buyers will look for safer areas like Durham Region to raise their children.
