Chilly temperatures haven’t dampened the enthusiasm of buyers wishing to purchase in our great area. With such a short supply of stock available and buyer interest not waning, we might see things change into a sellers market!
And who wouldn't want to live here? Our area is quite unique and has so much to offer, and the waterfront is definitely a drawing card. We’re a destination not a drive through suburb and people come from all over to walk their dogs, eat our fish and chips, ride their bikes, fish, sail or just have a picnic. We are the envy of our visitors.
Within our location are some of the most wonderful examples of historical homes and now with the new Town Plan in place, we’re hopeful that the level and age of our properties will be maintained.
We've had a number of our sale properties recently go under contract before even being listed for sale! This was due to having a buyer match in our client database and the buyer being in the right place at the right time. So you can see that being on a real estate database does have its advantages. Sellers will continue to use agents to sell their homes, and buyers can have all the information available at their fingertips, but if they aren’t on an agents database, then they may miss out, especially in this market!
If you’re considering selling, now is a good time to prepare your home for the market as the warmer months aren't far away. Pruning, cleaning and general maintenance are just a few of the things you can do to benefit your home. If there are rooms or areas in your garden that need freshening up, like painting or weeding, getting these jobs done will greatly assist. Presentation is so important so make sure your property is as crisp and clean as possible—as we keep saying, first impressions count! With only 5 weeks until the end of Winter, 13 weeks until Summer and 17 weeks until Christmas, now is a good time to start!
Our quarterly Market Reports are now available. John is out walking the streets and Dianne is delivering them on Marilyn, her affectionately named scooter. Watch out for them and stop and say hello.
On a more somber note, our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those that have lost their lives in the recent tragedy. This is such an injustice; there is no excuse for taking someone's life.
As always, Dianne, John and Gai are available to help with all your real estate needs. Call on 3269 1555 and one of us will be in touch.
