What is it with the real estate market now? I think we are definitely seeing the effects of the US mortgage hoop-la that occurred earlier this year. I am seeing if a seller is not going to the trouble of having their homes staged and ready for showings, plus if they are not listening to the advice of their real estate agent, then they are going to be extremely frustrated. Sellers have to realise that this is not a seller's market and that they have to be listening to the advice of their realtor when objective information is provided. The statistics that we as realtors are reviewing on a daily, weekly, monthly basis give us the indication of the "temperature" of the real estate market. I was listening to a web-conference from another top-producer today and I really liked the idea of also looking closing at the showing data for our listings (ie. the stats for how the showings are). This would be another great way to get the real-time pulse on the York Region real estate market. I am going to try and see if I can obtain this information and have it in a format that provides a report on a weekly and monthly basis...I will keep you posted. Until I write again. By for now.
