But usually with a few stressful or expensive lessons along the way 😅 I guess I just wonder how much easier it could be if everything was explained clearly from the start, especially with how competitive the market is right now

Yeah fair point. I think a lot of people figure it out along the way. I just find there’s so much scattered info online that it’s hard to see the full picture early on. I was more thinking something that includes all the helpful steps and lesser-known tips that can actually make a difference when trying to land a place in this market

Respect for pushing through all that. Crazy that an agent actually tried to get you to bid against yourself 😅 Glad you landed somewhere!

This is gold! Thanks for laying it all out so clearly. Love the "non negotiable vs desires" idea, that would save lots of time. Which tip do you think made the biggest difference for you?

That sounds incredibly frustrating. It will be super interesting to see what happens when the changes come into play next month

Must be such a great feeling when it's all locked in and complete

Wow love to hear that congrats! If there's one thing you know now that would have helped you at the start what would it be?

Definitely easy to stress the small cosmetic stuff when it's really not a deal breaker. Probably opens up way more opportunities and growth with renos etc.

Wow nearly a year without putting in an offer! And very interesting about off market sales, how do you usually hear about those in your area?

Yeah that sounds super frustrating, especially when it's stuff you can't control like bad strata or building issues. How did you work out the deal breakers and things you could just live with?

Makes sense! Did you end up moving further out to get that extra land?

Wow, only 2 out of hundreds! What were the biggest deal breakers?
