Saugeen Shores Real Estate Buzz

I am a little puzzled at some of the different things that I see being offered by some real estate websites.

One in particular is obtaining, via a form that one fills out on the internet, a current value of one’s home.  Now, I am not sure how this is done because, like this little plant that is trying to grow in the sand, it is almost impossible to determine a value unless you have actually viewed the property.

At the very least, there should be at least one visit to a prospective Seller’s home, if not two.

In obtaining info via the internet without a home visit could surely distort the true value, thus giving the potential Seller either an inflated value or one that is under the true value;  either of these could pose problems for a home seller.

So, if you are considering the sale of your property, make sure that the Real Estate Representative makes at least one visit to your home; you are owed some due diligence whether the opinion is offered free of charge or not!

Well, I guess we are going to have another six weeks of winter; that is not what I was hoping for.  However, having said that, we do know that Spring is on the way and before we know it, the grass will be green and the flowers will be sprouting.  You would never know it was the middle of winter on the real estate front.  It has been quite busy in the month of January and things are still hopping.  The problem is finding properties for our Buyers.  I know that it is common thinking that Spring is the time to put your house on the market if you are considering to sell, but why not rethink that.  If everyone waits until Spring, then there will be lots of competition for the Sellers while if you put your property on the market now, you may have a better chance at a quick sale.  So, if you are going to be making a move and you would like to get an opinion of your present property, give me a call; beat the rush and get your home sold before the others even hit the market.
