There is always a first time for everything.

While the first time buying a home may feel overwhelming and stressful at times, it can be an enjoyable and exciting experience. With the right approach, of course.

There has always been a lot of talk about the differences between a buyer’s market and a seller’s market. But probably never as much as in the last two years! Real estate markets are cyclical, but that doesn’t mean they always go in the same direction!

The Real Estate Market is a marketplace where there are dealings and competition. It changes with economic, political and societal impacts. When it is a Seller’s Market, sellers are getting some very strategic advice on how to get the most money for their investment and how to navigate things like pricing advice, bidding wars and multiple offers.

The last couple of years have been nothing short of unprecedented. So much so that we are pretty tired of the word! With the continuation of low-interest rates and escalating home market value, the costs of both renting and buying seem to be daunting and overwhelming.

COVID19 has undoubtedly changed our world, and in the housing market, we are noticing more people acutely more interested in looking inwards to where they live than ever before. Preparation is key to a seamless transition from renting to homeownership.

House hunting is a big decision for anyone but becomes further complex the more family members that are involved, particularly children. Helping your child with a significant life event like moving to a new home can be smooth when you know when and how to involve your kids in the home search.
