Its A Shift Show.
Posted on Jun 01, 2022
We're in a funny spot in the local real estate market. 2 months ago homes were selling for $100,000
or more over asking price.
Now we see homes sitting on the market longer, or selling for $30-$40,000 over asking instead of $100,000+. Some are even selling with conditions or for less than asking price.
In other words, it's a shift-show. 'Scuse my Fren...
The List.

Title search is one of those important dates in your home purchase agreement that you probably don’t even think about after your deal is firm.
[It’s buried there on page 3; Clause 10.]
And 99% of the time you don’t need to, because everything is 100% A-OK.
But a lawyer running a title search is sort of like the anesthetist in an operating room.

Coach tells me that it's not the first one...

Eric had a really specific idea of what he needed in his new home, however, what he needed was in very short supply. It took over a year to find the right place, and once we foun...
Sandwich Generation

Ever heard the term ‘Sandwich Generation.’ ?
Ok it’s more of a demographic than a generation, but it describes a growing segment of buyers here in the Quinte area.
We used to be anxious to move out and leave Mom and Dad behind.
Mom and Dad used to live in fear that the kids would never grow up and leave.
That’s changing.
Families are coming back togethe...
Win-Lose
Posted on Mar 22, 2022
Real estate deals shouldn't be win-lose.
The goal is to come out the other side feeling like we all got what we needed, without giving up more than we wanted.
Once a deal is firm, it’s even more important that we’re all rowing in the same direction.
If you thought agents just sat back and sighed with relief once conditions are met, think again.
