Cliff Barron here with my real estate market update for March 13, 2023. To recap, in the update I posted at the end of January, I mentioned that I thought the market had bottomed out a little bit and that it wasn't a bad idea to get into the market. Then, we had a few rate increases. Last week we didn't have any rate increase, so it just stayed put where it is. I have something inte...Read More

January 2023 and my first market update of the year. So here we go - how's the market doing? I just sold a home the other day - lots of showings on it. I've got a few buyers and I've actually been involved in a bidding war in Guelph. I've seen more buyers coming out than I did months ago. What's going to happen with the market? Let's see - on the 26t...Read More

It's December 1st - how are we doing? How is the real estate market doing? It's kind of levelling off a bit. It's a more balanced market. I did a couple of deals in the past week. Lower price point homes ($500-$700K somewhere in that range). They sold pretty quick. They were priced right and within a week they were both gone (and both with multiple offers!) So we're seeing a ...Read More

So, what has been happening? The market is still slow. It's not like it was in the spring. We peaked in February, then in March it started to come down. April we started to come down rapidly. The reason was that alot of people bought because many of them didn't know that the market was going to shift at that time. They bought before selling so they had to put their home on the market. As s...Read More

Happy Fall! My favorite time of the year - just wish it was longer! Getting to the market update - what's been happening? That's the big question in real estate - how's the market? I get that all the time. So, how IS the market? It's not bad, to be honest. It's not too bad. Let me give you a bit of a rundown: So, we peaked in February of this year and th...Read More

How's the market doing? That's the big million dollar question I get asked daily - almost hourly. Right now, it stinks. As a seller it stinks, to be perfectly frank. It really does - showings are low, appointments are low, open houses are everywhere because nobody can sell anything. Just drive around your town and you'll see open house after open house after ope...Read More

I did a deal in Milton a few days ago. The reason the deal happened is that my clients moved from a small townhouse to a larger detached. It was way larger - almost double the size. Believe it or not, they made the move for about $350,000 more and they doubled the size of their home. So today I'm talking about "the gap". The gap between a townhouse and a fully detached has real...Read More

As expected, rates went up by half a point yesterday - that's going to affect mortgages of course. A lot of people are locked in though, so they've got their fixed mortgages. We might not see an immediate effect, but in June there are rumours of another half point increase, so we are going to start to see the effects soon, for sure. For now, we don't need to worry about the rates...Read More
Sold Over Asking?!

Sold over asking signs. You've probably seen them everywhere. Don't get used to that though because that's starting to fade away. Every single home was selling over asking up until maybe a month ago. You still see them now, but not as often as before because the market is shifting. You can see it. The number of showings are down, the number of offers are down. O...Read More

As March comes to a close, you may be wondering: what is happening with the market? It's shifting. There are areas that are doing well and there are areas that aren't doing as well. This week, I was in on one in Georgetown. A bungalow in Georgetown sold for $250k higher than the last sale, which was about $250k higher than the sale before that, j...Read More
