Now that we have reviewed all of the areas, what does this mean to you?
The main takeaway is clearly the consistent drop off in price across the board (outside of Springwater!) and homes are typically taking longer to sell.
The interest rate hikes from the Bank of Canada have impacted the market quite a bit over the last year and it’s important to keep an eye out on what course of action they plan to take throughout 2023.
If they decide to raise rates further and you are thinking of selling, please give us a call because we have a strategy that will maximize your dollars before those rates hit the buyers' affordability.
