selling: The Problems of Pricing - 06/19/07 09:00 PM
When listing a property, Realtors generally try to ring a representative sample of comparable homes to the table that have recently sold in order to accurately determine what an appropriate asking price is. And, for homes in areas of similar neighbouring homes, this is fairly easy to calculate... but what about unique properties? Worse yet, what about unique premium properties - or carriage trade as they are often referred to? A sub-division home that should sell for a predictable amount should sell fairly quickly in a good market when priced properly - but for carriage trade this isn't always so. Some … (0 comments)

If you are considering selling a family home this spring, don't leave it too late to list it.

selling: Is it a buyer's or a seller's market? - 08/22/06 11:11 PM
The question I get a lot these days is "has this finally become a buyer's market?" to which I invariably answer... "Well, yes, sort of... but not really. It's hard to say."

The fact is, it certainly isn't the seller's market it once was, but it isn't exactly a buyer's market either. In fact, right about now there is as close to a balance between the two parties (in a broad sense) as you'll ever likely see. So - what to do then? If you're a buyer, … (2 comments)
