Buying or Selling – Which First?

It’s a strategy that needs a knowledgeable eye and an understanding of overall real estate markets as well as what’s directly affecting the neighbourhood. There are many factors that will affect your decision. For instance, markets have shifted - is it a buyer’s or seller’s market?

In a “seller’s market,” your home should sell quickly, and it’s best to have another property in mind so that it’s not a scramble to find the next place to call home.

In a “buyer’s market,” homes require more marketing time and exposure. It’s recommended that we have a buyer for your current property before an unconditional purchase of your next one.

Knowing the overall market is important, but it’s just one part of a broad strategy.
