Beware Revolving Door Listings
We are aware of a number of properties which were recently purchased, only to be relisted by the buyer just weeks after their sale closed. Buyers have the property inspected then relist it weeks later after they learn the true condition of the property, hoping to get their money back by sticking someone else with it, and in this market they are selling over and over. If you are looking to purchase a property, check the sale history. If a property sold for $325K 8 weeks ago and is now listed for say $289K it is likely a property to steer clear of. There are discloure requirements unless the property is sold “As Is”.

Beware of FOMO
FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is one of the biggest driving forces in the housing market today and unscrupulous realtors are using it to their advantage in ways that are not good for any buyer. This market is made even more tense by the anticipated signing of Ontario Bill 145 (Trust in Real Estate Services Act) into law. It is estimated that approx. 85% of all existing realtors in Ontario will be finished when this bill is signed. That fact alone speaks volumes. Anything that may be a threat to the sale is being blocked or limited. 30 minute viewings are too short. Home Inspections are not being permitted. Disclosure laws are being ignored. There are fantastic realtors out there, we have met many. Ask a lot of questions and make sure those who represent you are putting you first.
