  8. You are tired of saving all your quarters for the Laundromat.
  9. When you say you are "going home", you want to really mean it!

I have a friend named Victoria that owns a Victorian.  She's looking for a boyfriend named Victor.  So far, no victory for her.

Hi Tammie,

we think that the reasons to buy at the current market stage is far out weighing the few concerns that people may still hold

Hi Deb,

holidays are often a time where buyers can buy some really good deals from the really motivated.

These are wonderful reasons to consider buying as opposed to renting.  Sometimes it doesn't make sense financially, but if you meet the above criteria, then run, don't walk to buy.

This is is a terrific post.  I can't understand what people are waiting for.  I think some buyers think the house should be FREE.

Hi Jane,

there are many good reasons to buy versus rent today, even if it is a stretch, the long term benefits are huge.

Hi Ruthmarie,

Many buyers are made to be concerned even scared by the frenzied commentary by so called national experst making judgement and blanket statements as if something that may apply in one area, is also true in the rest of the continent.... we all know that to be wrong, so we need to educate our buyers every day in some way.

HI Richie,

Thank you for kind feedback, we appreciate it, we try to be as informative and proactive as possible without the pressure associated with sales pitches.

Hi Sharon,

thanks we think (at least of our Greater Victoria area) that the time is right for buyers to take advantage of all the amazing opportunities out there with great prices, selection and mortgage rates and terms that we may never see again for decades.....

Peter and Linda:

Like your list, especially #7.   But #8 is a close second.  Can't imagine having lots of quarters in my purse for the laundromat. Victoria is so beautiful, why wouldn't you want to own your home there?

Hi Evelyn,

You got it, it is like living in paradise, (if we had such a place on earth, it would be Victoria)

 

Hi Sussie,

Yes we all have our own reasons to move forward and make decisions, we  found these to be most applicable here in our area.

Hi Steve and Jan,

Yes we hear that one on a regular base, and a few that come close to harassment and it is not always pretty to hear and see where people actually are renting, wow.
