Probably more than you think. Right now, in the winter of 2011, there is almost no inventory out there, as we say in the business. Plainly put: there are not enough available homes out there. It’s a sellers’ market. What properties are out there are going at strong prices.
The primary reason for buying is the need for people to live somewhere. Real estate is the only investment that we live in. It fulfills our need for: pride of ownership, freedom to customize a living space and choice of neighbourhood to live in. Coupled with a change in our lives (promotion, job transfer, new baby, empty nest etc.), people will always be “on-the-move”. There is only one way to reach these people: your property must be on the market.
Of course, I cannot can tell what your property is worth without visiting your home and hearing about your neighbourhood. So drop me a line. And fill out this form so I can help you make the right real estate move.
