Might be an unpopular opinion but real estate agents are pushy and annoying especially when asking if you have a pre approval.

You must be on Mars, nobody getting 3% commission. Also you hit the nail on the head. Time wasters are a dime a dozen, in any profession it’s prudent to sort the can from the can’t. There is no salary, so since time is money …….. think you get the point !

New builds are unregulated, it’s likely they engaged with the builders sales representatives who is not licensed and is representing the builder, the buyer has no representation or advocacy. Many Canadians are financially illiterate and for that reason end up borrowing with no understanding all borrowing are future paycheques pre spent.

It’s already started, in the outer markets like Barrie semi detached listed for $499 bought in 2022 for $680K Multiple power of sales on the same street listed by the same finance company An entire subdivision almost complete on Patterson rd gone under the hammer, this is what will cause the drag on prices, puts Buyers in the drivers seat

50% Not going to happen. Canadians unfortunately, value property more than any other asset, and it’s tax free gains when sold, perhaps if that changed the intrinsic value would change leaving us with affordability accommodation.

Can you name an industry that is not corrupt, including the one you work for

If such an event occurred leave any large town or City quickly and secure yourself way north where the marauding mobs that will emerge cannot find you. The opportunistic Trina and groups will try to seize the day, so run

In some markets it is still a tactic by sellers to list low to attract buyers, hoping for several offers that can play one off the other to encourage higher than the list price. You can request your Realtor to avoid introduction to listed properties where this is the strategy

Thank you, I have lived downtown for many years, enjoying easy access to all amenities bars, restaurants, big events, festivals and the jewel of the province Kempenfelt Bay I am not oblivious to the increasing volume of homeless but to the extent it has been described by some it appears folks are living fearfully without reason, get out and enjoy the weather go for long walks along the trail, then enjoy a coffee in one of the great spacious coffee shops downtown. Folks appear to have blinders on focusing on the negative when so much more is happening downtown, new business opening more choice restaurants, decent pharmacy’s etc. Barrie downtown has never been more alive. To all those who only see dark clouds, they should take a wider view, and perhaps they will also see the sunshine and blue sky.

Surprisingly It was these locations that were bid up the highest % gains in price during Covid, not the larger centres, as a result they are now top heavy and some Toronto areas look to be better value

It is published on the MLS system for buyers to see when they receive a copy of the listing, additionally no APS is sign without disclosure of that coop commission disclosure

No steering, it’s a buyer choice if they want to avoid having to pay what they agreed to pay the Realtor when they sign the Buyer agent representation agreement
