Why Listing Your Vaughan Home Before The Competition Could Put Thousands Of Extra Dollars In Your Pocket!

When it comes to Real Estate, you’ve probably heard the expression that timing is everything. If you’re a homeowner in Vaughan looking to sell, the time has never been better!

There are literally thousands of qualified home buyers out there looking for the perfect home in Vaughan yet the number of homes currently available for sale is the lowest it’s been in years. The fact is we are at the peak of a seller’s market but that could all come to an end as early as this Spring.

So the obvious question is how can you as a seller take advantage of these rare circumstances before it’s too late? The answer is simple… take advantage of the narrow window of opportunity by listing your Vaughan home before the competition.

Why NOT to wait for the spring market to list your Vaughan Home

Reason #1: Less competition

• A Seller’s market is characterized by a limited supply of quality listings in the marketplace. For smart homeowners looking to sell that means there are fewer listings on the market to compete with.

Reason #2: More qualified buyers

• During a Seller’s market buyer demand is high due in part to a lack of quality listings. Smart homeowners looking to sell realize this and prepare their home for sale before the competition in order to capitalize on the thousands of qualified buyers looking for the perfect home.

Reason #3: Shorter amount of time on the market

• When you combine ‘Less Competition’ with the ‘More Qualified Buyers’ that are typically found in a seller’s market the result is that well priced homes sell quicker. That means less time and aggravation for you the home seller.

Reason #4: Thousands of extra dollars in your pocket

• With a limited supply of quality homes available for sale, the Buyers negotiating power is restricted. Those looking for the perfect home have to act fast and pay top dollar to beat out other buyers when the right home finally does come available. That could mean thousands of extra dollars in your pocket!

Buyer’s struggling to find their Dream Home in Vaughan

With mortgage rates near all time lows and existing inventory of resale homes the lowest they’ve been in years, it’s no wonder there is an excess of buyers searching for a home in Vaughan right now. With each passing day their frustration grows and their desire to find the perfect home gets stronger. As a seller you couldn’t possibly ask for a better situation… but there is a catch.

The seller’s market won’t last forever!

With each new listing that comes available in Vaughan, the balance of power slowly shifts from the seller back towards the buyer. That means that the seller’s market could easily come to an end as early as the Spring of 2010 as homeowners in your neighbourhood looking to sell rush to get their home on the market.
