Real Estate Guelph - a peek at 2011

I find myself struggling over topics for my blog, Anita frequently laughs at me for this because as you come to know me you’ll realize I am rarely at a loss for words.

The real estate market in 2011 has been interesting, with an early start 3 January 2011 the Guelph Market got off to an early start.  Typical to a spring market in the Guelph area it was and is a Seller’s market.  Homes listed for fair market value in a desirable location began selling at times within hours.  Anita and I have had the pleasure of listing many great homes this year.  Many of these homes sold so quickly we could not get the sign on the lawn – before it read SOLD.   Sellers appear happy, in many cases knowing they will sell their houses quickly, at times for more than their asking price. 

We do however feel for our buyers, the patience required to wait for the perfect home.  Then the emotional roller coaster ride of preparing an offer knowing it will be in competition.  We carefully explain to our buyers the value of a home, reviewing past sales and active listings so they have a clear understanding of value prior to making an offer.  It is important to us that our buyers know the value of a house so they do not over pay.

I continue to look forward to the rest of this year; the city of Guelph is a great place to live.
