WHAT THIS MEANS FOR WESTSIDE HOUSE OWNERS
The above statistics show that there is considerable choice available for house Buyers. Quality houses that are properly marketed, competitively priced and well presented continue to attract serious Buyers and sell.
For house owners considering a sale, preparation and pricing strategy have never been more important. With many active properties competing for buyers, the objective is not simply to put a house on the market—it is to make it stand out from the competition.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HOMEOWNERS CONSIDERING DOWNSIZING
Today’s market conditions offer opportunities that homeowners haven't seen in years. Citywide, softer apartment and townhouse prices, combined with greater choice, are creating attractive opportunities for detached house owners looking to downsize or make a lifestyle change. After years of ownership and significant equity appreciation, selling a detached house and moving into a high-quality condominium can allow homeowners to simplify their lifestyle while potentially unlocking a substantial amount of capital.
