Greater Victoria Real Estate Show

We have shifted from a strong sellers market into a balanced market. Buyers are trying to low ball and sellers aren't there yet. What does this "new normal" mean for buyers and sellers? With interest rate increases on the horizon, should both buyers and sellers concede a little now for long term gain?

It's a shifting market. As we move from a quick sale into longer days on market, buyers still want to know where they are going. Sellers wanting offers, may be willing to accept a subject to sale offer. Is this a smart thing to do? What does it mean for buyers and sellers?

It is nearing Month End, so how'd we do in June? Also, during the time between offer acceptance and removal, buyers often forget to arrange for insurance. Today Andrew and Jane will talk about insurance and why, especially, in condos, it's such an important condition.
