Will The 2012 Real Estate Market Be To Hot To Handle?
One Sale Does Not Make A Market
One sale does not make a market but one sale could be the spark that will ignite a very hot spring market in certain areas of the (GTA) Greater Toronto Area real estate market. Recently a home in Mimico sold for a reported $200,000 over asking price as 31 people bid on the home.
Several factors including a prime location and a lower than usual number of properties for sale likely played a part in this sale.
More Listings Could Be The Wet Blanket
This does not mean that all areas of the GTA will experience sales like this but it may just be the spark to ignite the fire under some potential sellers to put their home on the market now instead of waiting till later in the year. On the other hand a sudden rush to get their home on the market by potential sellers, wishing to take advantage of this, may just be enough of a wet blanket to keep things under control resulting in a more stable market.
