Market Minute - December 2018

December sees an excess of inventory along BC’s Sunshine Coast which in turn means lower prices. If you’re wanting to sell, consider waiting until the second quarter of 2019 before listing your home. The spring real estate market is traditionally the busiest time of year and waiting could mean more money in your pocket.

Demand for real estate typically wanes over the winter months and 2018 has been no exception. Higher interest rates and stricter mortgage qualification rules have moved us even further into a buyers’ market.

Spring widely is considered the best time to sell. Buyer demand that was pent up over the winter months is finally unleashed. This translates into more interest and more money for those selling their homes. 

But if time is of the essence and waiting just isn’t an option, call me and ask about my proven system that’s designed to get you the best price and terms possible, no matter the time of year.
