Buyers are quickly snapping up homes
in the under $500,000 bracket as they seem to know it’s a great time to buy. But, once again, we are back to where we
started with very few homes on the market to sell. When this type of market comes around, we
normally see an increase in selling prices, but this is not happening. There are a number of reasons for this, but
it’s mainly due to the fact that buyers have so much more information at their
fingertips with today’s mobile technology.
Our last three new listings went
under contract very quickly, one from our database. Databases are very important as they contain legitimate
clients actively looking to buy right now.
It is illegal to hold onto a person’s personal information unless we
have their authority to do so. We
therefore make it a regular monthly/bi-monthly task to ‘wash’ our database and
remove anyone that no longer requires our services. By doing this we maintain a good quality and
up to date database. I’m sure you’ve all
heard it sprouted that “we have thousands of buyer’s on our database”. This sounds great but how many of those
“thousands” of people are legitimate, have already purchased or are just stale
buyers?
We’ve proudly completed the first
stage of the renovations to our cottage and hope the local community like what
we’ve accomplished in such a short time.
It’s amazing what can be done to these character homes and we’ve really
enjoyed the process. If you’re passing
by, please have a look and let us know what you think!
