Since the market seems relatively hot in that price range, I can only attribute the low numbers to a lack of good resale listings in that particular range. If you are thinking of selling your home, now is the time to get it listed. You should get offers in the high end of your homes price range right now due to lack of competition. Because of the rotten start weatherwise in 2001, the 1st quarter has been disappointing to many business' in the area, not only the Real Estate market. However, I certainly believe that the balance of 2001 will recover from these doldrums.
Eternal optimism is part and parcel of being Canadian.
However, I am nearly out of subject matter in this regard. Recently I have been dwelling on the theme of Offer preparation, i.e. the different clauses and conditions that we use in our Offer to Purchase and the reasons for doing so. Most of what's left is pretty much self explanatory. There is a clause in most offers now days, that may seem to be of little interest to either the Buyer or the Seller. To be honest, it is placed in the offer to protect the Broker and Salesperson's behinds.
