HOW I GOT 27 FORESTHILL CRES, FONTHILL SOLD: 

PRICE: I first determined an appropriate list price, which was based on the homes location, comparable homes in that specific area and also the market conditions. It is very important to ensure the home wasn’t listed too low but also was not overpriced. 

PREPARATION: My services included fresh landscaping in the front and rear of the property. A thorough de-clutter and deep clean was also completed to ensure the home would shine in its best light. I also utilized/re arranged many of the own clients furniture, but brought in my own staging items to give it a fresh look, which ultimately made it more inviting. 

PRESENTATION: Marketing is essential in today’s market. Professional high quality photos were taken along with a video of the property to attract buyers. Open houses were also held every weekend to bring in as many eyes to the property. Feature sheets were also available along with email blasts to my database.

Here’s what has happened in the last month in real estate. 

Residential home sales activity recorded through the MLS® for the Niagara Association of REALTORS® (NAR) totaled 488 units in August 2024, compared to 523 in August 2023. In August, the Niagara Association of REALTORS® listed 1192 residential properties compared to 1220 in August 2023. The average days it took to sell a home in August 2024 was 45 days, a 36.4% increase from August 2023. The New Listings dropped 11.4% but with sales holding steady it brings the inventory of listings in Niagara down which is needed to achieve that balanced market, that along with the cumulative days on market reaching 70 days on market, it is so important for sellers to work with a local REALTOR® to gain the knowledge and expertise to set themselves up for success. The Bank of Canada has reduced the policy interest rate to 4.25% another .25% reduction giving buyers even more confidence needed to move ahead with the process and come off the sidelines. Inventory is still holding fairly high, but recent improvement could be a sign of a busier than normal end of year for Niagara. The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is October 23, 2024.

Here’s what has happened in the last month in real estate.

In June 2024, the Niagara Association of REALTORS® reported a total of 541 residential home sales through the MLS®, down from 609 sales in June 2023. During the same period, the association listed 1,460 residential properties, compared to 1,403 in June of the previous year. The average time it took to sell a home rose to 36 days, marking a 20% increase from June 2023.

The benchmark price stabilized last month, suggesting that significant rate cuts from the Bank of Canada may be necessary to stimulate the housing market. Currently, there are over 2,800 active listings in Niagara, providing buyers with more choices and compelling sellers to adopt competitive pricing strategies to attract buyers. Collaboration among all levels of government to improve housing affordability in Niagara is a must. Now is the time to get in touch with a local real estate agent, who goes above and beyond of just putting a sign in your lawn and hoping for a sale.
