But if 2023’s surge during January is replicated this year, we should see sales increase but for a few important reasons to be explained. Selling has a few key factors many sellers are seeing. The fi rst important factor to know is interest rates are decreasing and thus buyer’s con fi dence is increasing and are out shopping. The second factor is when year-end occurs, many people know what they can expect fi nancially, thus they are likely to spend the money before the government issues the return. If you’re considering selling… Don’t look at your BC Assessment as the data provided to you is nearly half a year old and of no bearing in the market are currently in. Simply ask and I’m happy to share where your current value is. Buyers Shopping without knowing your budget will only disappoint you. Sadly, this story plays out very often. Then I acquire a new client who blames someone who didn’t set the expectations. I’m happy to guide you and provide you with some help connecting with someone to hone in on your budget. Knowing what fees and cost as well as how much your budget can be is key and uber-important. Not to mention a strategic tool in the negotiation process. One thing to know is that as rates begin to fall… Having a partner continuously looking for a better rate until the transaction completes is crucial and a saving grace to keeping some pizza money in your pocket. We are seeing rates decreasing and if you can save a few dollars a payment… You can continue to live a little more fl exibly and under less pressure. Side-Note… I don’t know anyone who has ever used the First-Time Home Buyer’s Account or a First Home Savings Account when they fi nance their home. Hmmmm. Investors How are strata fees changing and why are they becoming a risk to investors? Are you in a strata? Have a look at your operating budget and Contingency Reserve Fund. New rules go into effect and if you want to know my thoughts, call me as I’m not putting my opinion down on paper.
