"You need to do a really good job of understanding what have been the most recent sales, where should I be pricing my home relative to the last sales that have occurred and where is the market going in my area," she said. "If you are pricing your home simply because you need a certain amount out of your house, that's not going to help you."Her comments are true in any market, but when things are slower, sellers have a much smaller margin of error when it comes to pricing their properties; if you're not priced competitively today, your chances of selling are extremely low.
Have a great weekend!

The exact same apartments and townhouses sold for double what they sell for today way back in the spring of 2007, 11 and a half years ago. The CRA tries to hide prices from the public but the people in Edmonton would be dumbfounded if they saw what these townhouses and apartments sold for way back in 2007. It still costs twice as much to rent than to own a resale apartment or resale townhouse. Unlike Vancouver and Toronto the B20 OSFI rules pushed none of the scarce demand to the lower priced part of the housing market.
