What is happening in the Toronto West and Etobicoke real estate market?

Did you know, the current real estate market dictates your position as a buyer or seller? It helps to know which type of market we are currently experiencing.

Basically there are 3 types of market conditions:

Buyer’s Market

In a buyer’s market there are usually a lot of buyers looking for homes due to many economic factors such as low interest rates and attractive financing options.  In a common scenario, there are a fair amount of homes available on the current market thus creating a fair level of negotiating power for many buyers.

Seller’s Market

In a seller’s market, typically the inventory of homes is low, creating demand from buyers.  In this type of market, sellers are in a relatively good position to ask for and receive a slightly higher price for their homes due to the fact of less competition from other sellers.

Balanced Market

A balanced market is the equilibrium between a buyer’s and a seller’s market.  A home that is listed will receive a fair number of showings and sell in a reasonable amount of time given the property has been priced according to market value.
