You can not begin to navigate this market unless you have the knowledge of what the market is doing? How you go about buyer or selling depends on what market you are dealing with. Don’t go into the market without the power you need.

Happy New Year!!! I survived 2020 and my business thrived!!! Best year EVER in 25 years. Was it easy...not at all. Huge thank you to my family who puts ups with so much, to my clients and friends who continue to understand and support the core values of how I work for my clients. To the RE/MAX staff, you are the glue that keeps me together. To my RE/MAX partners across Canada and the world thank you for your referrals and for taking great care of my referred clients. To the mortgage specialist, lawyers, home inspectors, thank you. It takes a village to serve my clients well. Grateful for my village.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

The City of Greater Sudbury Residential real estate market was on fire in 2020. When I look at the residential sales this year compared to last year (taken from the Sudbury Real Estate MLS) sales were up 5.49%. Average sale price was up 12.89%!!!! Average days on the market 34 days but if you were in the market you know that it was probably more like l0 days. It was a difficult market for buyers for sure. Taking an average over the last six months we see that each month about 48% of all sales were AT or ABOVE list price. Driving the Sudbury market was low inventory and high demand. 2021, I believe, will see the same.

Yes, you can make a move before Christmas. It won’t be easy but it can be done.

I do love Stats....I think it's important to see what has happened...what are the trends? So far this December the number of sales is down from November's first 12 days BUT up from that December. So far this month 43% of all the residential sales in the City of Greater Sudbury were AT or ABOVE list. Gone are the $5000 over list...we are seeing $10,000 to $60,000!!!! It's a little bit of crazy right now. Great time to sell.

No question, December is a slower time for buying and selling real estate but I think for Sudbury, it will still be a pretty good month. Lots of buyers out there. Now is the time for the company transfers in and out of the area happen. Still a seller market. Yes, we list and sell in the winter.

It’s the holiday season!

Important message for buyers

For every listing of mine that sells, a portion of the commission goes to sick kids hospital.

A few simple steps to boost your curb appeal during the fall season. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Stay on top of fall maintenance (rake up leaves). Clean your windows until they sparkle. Trim branches or bushes that block sun light from coming into your house. Showcase autumn flowers like marigolds.... Check out these great pictures. See more

It's fall...second busiest real estate market. Bring it on! What am I saying...it's ALREADY here!!! Move before the snow comes.

Another crazy week in Real Estate. Remember when you were looking at houses to buy and you looked at maybe 4 or 5 each time you went out????? Now you see one as it comes up on your automatic feed because the market is so fast. Times have changed. So far , in October, residential sales in the city are up 11% from last month with 51% selling AT or ABOVE list price. This is 23% from October of 2019. Nice to see the over $600,000 moving well this month. If you, or anyone you know, needs to talk about the market just let me know. Knowledge is power and I want all my clients to have super powers!!!!

Interesting fact about Sudbury Real Estate. If you take the residential sales from January 2020 to today in the City of Greater Sudbury. Average sale price $329,571. No wonder we have people coming to Sudbury to buy and live. Average days on the market from List to Firm deal, 33 days. Sale price to list price ratio is 99.7% (normally 97%).

Correction on my comment on plans for multiple family ...if you have the capacity for OVER l0 people you need this fire escape plan. Not l0....over l0. Every bedroom is assumed to have 2 people sleeping in each bedroom.

First l0 days of October have been busy!! There were 68 residential sales in the City of Greater Sudbury and of those 57% were AT or ABOVE list price. Unbelievable! The over $600,000 market did well. Low inventory and low interest rates are driving this market. I'm seeing sale prices $30,000 to $147,000 over list. It's not like Toronto but it's starting to feel that way. We are seeing people from down south moving north because they are working from home and can live anywhere. Why not move north where the prices are more reasonable. These are interesting times.

In my opinion of course!

I have much to be grateful for. To my clients, friends, and family who continue to support my business....thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There is always something happening in the market. As if this market isn't challenging enough we now have a problem getting appraisals. I've noticed in the last month that appraisals are taking a long time. Since banks for asking for appraisals on most deals the appraisers are very VERY busy and we just can't get them done on time to our financing condition done. It's been very frustrating and we've had to give extensions on deals. One of the bankers suggested that we may need l5 days to get conditions done. That seems crazy. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

If you thought that the fall market is usually dead...think again. September was a brisk month for residential sales. Sales were up from last month. 54% of all those sales were AT or ABOVE list price and sometimes $30,000 to $70,000 over. Yes, it's still a seller's market. YEAR TO DATE...sales up 19% and average sale price is up 12.5% and sitting at $326,723. Average days on the market 35 days and the sale to list ratio is 99.5% (normally it's 97%). IT'S BUSY!!!

Multi family properties

Do you know your market? Buyer or Seller you need to know your specific market. I know that in the month of September , so far, 54% of all residential sales were at or above list price. But is that true for your market? Could be.

When you get to tell your clients the offer is accepted!!

Holding off on Offers and Pending Offers

Been checking out the residential stats and these are some of the amounts I have seen OVER list price. Yep, it’s still a sellers market. Fall is our second busiest time of year.
