Anyone else notice lately that just about every home listed for sale is sold either before you even notice the for sale sign or very soon after.....cannot believe it, I know it is Spring and all, but crazy how fast things are moving.

 

Market is nuts right now in Whitby.. ..my bud sold his house on the weekend for $920,000 private sale, no fees. He got more house off Island Rd in Port Perry for less money

Ours is up for sale now. Been up a week and have had some look at it. Have a couple coming from Toronto tomorrow. Hopefully they pull out the wallet and pony up some cash. 

I keep bugging the wife now is the time. I swear since the 404 opened to keswick prices jumped at least $100,000. I'm tearing down old garage now, new one waiting. Adding as much value as I can with little cost.

Yesterdays at my daughters gymnastics in Keswick, a couple of ladies were saying the exact same thing.

If you sell, you likely will need to buy, so all relative....unless you're looking at some real fix-er-ups!

I am in mount albert.. prices exploding here as well, pretty crazy. 

I have owned a house in beaverton since 2005... its doubled and was cheap as fuck to buy back then. Wish I could convince the wife to sell from here an move there... I would be mortgage free in a couple years. 

That seven meadows subdivision will touch the back yard there, but a 'park' is planned where my backyyard is. 

Homes near us don't last more than a week and many go for more than asking.  My mil's next door neighbor home sold for 1 million, it's a complete tear down.  

Our area is growing like crazy with 2 new houses in the two years we"ve been here lol. There"s 4-5 empty lots still (2-3 acres)each and only a matter of time before they get bought up. If I was younger I"d be trying to buy the lot next door off the guy that has it to and either build on it or just keep it vacant.

Neighbours just sold, for $100k more than they paid for it 5 years ago, and they weren't even listed.

Real estate agent cold called them with a buyer!

We sold my mom's house in an as is condition to get rid of it and they did a total reno on it and it sold pretty quick. Crazy market in the city

we bought a year ago May for $585k in Newmarket.....probably would go for at least $800k-$850K now. House across the street went in a day for $890k.And one ( newer) is up for $1.170k... but I think that's high.

I can't believe how quick houses go in that area.  We are priced fair and would love to see ours go in a month

Where are you located?

I know homes near my cottage are not selling as fast as in the city.

Anyone notice the "coming soon" signs now a days on house going up for sale....I know I have seen them in the past, but now they are far more common.

Good way to build up the interest, prices and offers I guess in an area that is hot.

Some don't even make it to market and are shown to good potential clients before anyone else.

Very true.....or like Bigfish's friend, they came knocking on their door with an offer hard to refuse!

Our neighbour called a real estate agent about listing their house. He made an appointment to come see them the next day. He brought a buyer with him who ended up buying for more than they were going to list for that same day. Apparently he and his wife had lost out on two other homes and they wanted in this neighbourhood

Sure did... late 20's early 30's. Same ethnic background as almost everyone in the neighbourhood.

Good luck.  Would be surprised to see homes that far north sell that quick.  Be patient.

sorry guys, I cant wait for this market to crash

Been a housing boom for the past 20 years and was expecting a correction/crash some time ago.  Don't see rates rising here yet for a while.
