Stoney 166 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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.

Skidood 21 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04nightfire 354 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atc 16 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve6 88 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArcticCrusher 5,266 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokin george 2,414 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigfish 27 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokin george 2,414 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slider 5 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04nightfire 354 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stoney 166 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
