Have you ever driven by a For Sale sign on a house in Etobicoke and wondered, “That house has been on the market for a long time, I wonder why it isn’t selling”? You might have asked that question because you were worried the same thing would happen when you put your own house on the Etobicoke real estate market!
Often a home doesn’t sell for one of three reasons:
Looking for current information on Toronto and Etobicoke Real Estate Home Sales for April 2018? Here are your Toronto and Etobicoke Real Estate Homes Sales for April 2018
Toronto Real Estate Board President Tim Syrianos announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 7,792 sales through TREB’s MLS® System in April 2018. The average selling price was $804,584. On a year-over-year basis, sales were down by 32.1 per cent and the average selling price was down by 12.4 per cent.
The year-over-year change in the overall average selling price has been impacted by both changes in market conditions as well as changes in the type and price point of homes being purchased. This is especially clear at the higher end of the market. Detached home sales for $2 million or more accounted for 5.5 per cent of total detached sales in April 2018, versus 10 per cent in April 2017. The MLS® Home Price Index strips out the impact of changes in the mix of home sales from one year to the next. This is why the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark was down by only 5.2 per cent year-over-year versus 12.4 per cent for the average price.

We may be a few months into the new year, and you may already have started too feel some guilt around your resolution! Many people have trouble keeping the promises they make themselves – especially when they are big, vague goals like buying a beautiful Etobicoke home, for example.
Whatever your goal is, this is the time of year people start feeling a little anxious about them. That doesn’t have to be you however. If you have something you want to achieve over the coming months, you’re not alone. But you CAN be one of the ones who achieves it! You’ll have a much better chance of reaching your goal if you make it “SMART”.
SMART is an acronym that refers to the five ingredients of a successful goal: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. It is based on the work of famed management guru Peter Drucker, but the technique is equally applicable to personal goals.
Did you know February is the only calendar month to have a length of less than 30 days! It’s usually 28 days unless it’s a leap year and the only calendar month that can pass without a full Moon (as is the case this year). Speaking of calendars did you get your 2018 wall calendar yet? If not, I still have some extra ones and can happily drop one off to you. Let me know by sending me an email or give me a call.
We are in the midst of February and time is flying by. We have seen brisk sales in the Etobicoke area so far this year. Ask me about your Etobicoke neighbourhood and how many days it is taking to sell a home.
