What is a Buyer’s Market?

A buyer’s market occurs when there are more available properties for sale than there are buyer’s. This puts the buyer in a strong position, as it provides them with more options and a better negotiating position when it comes to making an offer.

What is a Seller’s Market?

A seller’s market occurs when there are more interested buyer’s than there are available properties. A seller’s market places the seller in a better negotiating position. This type of market may result in more multiple-offer situations, higher prices, and homes selling faster. 

What is the value of my Property?

The current market sets the value of your property, generally reflecting what buyers are willing to pay. When setting a list price, consider these key factors:

Location, Size, Condition, Current market conditions (Buyer’s Market, Seller’s Market, or Balanced Market), Community or Building Amenities, Current interest rates and Comparable properties in the area

Who will pay the commission for selling my home? 

In traditional real estate transactions, the seller pays the overall commission, with the total amount split between both the buyer’s and the seller’s Brokerages. In Kingston’s local market presently, commission rates average between 4% and 5%, plus HST, of the final sale price. This amount is deducted from the sale proceeds on the day of closing, and issued by the sellers lawyer, to the buying and selling brokerages. Transparent communication regarding all monetary questions are expected and welcome with the GiffinPeacheyBagg Team.
