If you're buying
You have time to think. Sleep on it, book a second showing, and keep your conditions — that leverage was gone two years ago and it will not last forever.
If you're selling
Price to the market on day one. Homes that launch correctly are still selling in about five weeks; homes chasing the market down sit, reduce, then sell for less than if they had been priced right initially.
What stands out this month
- Detached inventory is deepest below $800K
- Conditional offers are being accepted again
- Downtown condo segment is softer than freehold
