One of the things a slower economy exposes is how much of our business growth came from a repeatable sales system—and how much came from favourable market conditions.

For several years, businesses benefited from strong demand, improving technology and referrals.

All of that helped. It also made it easy to operate without a sales plan.

When demand is strong enough, being a good order taker can look a lot like having a good sales organization. A slower market exposes the difference.

That is where market making becomes an important business skill.

I don't mean manufacturing demand or persuading someone to buy. I mean deliberately creating enough of the right opportunities that the business is not dependent on whether the market is generous this month.

Market making cannot simply mean “work harder” or “do more prospecting.” It needs a plan.

When I look at a business, I want to understand the sales pipeline. What kind of business do we want more of? Where do our opportunities come from? How many convert?

That pipeline will look different in every business. It might include past clients, referrals, inquiries or proposals. If referrals have driven your business for years, they are already part of the pipeline.

The issue isn't technology versus personal effort. It is random activity versus a deliberate system.

You cannot control interest rates, consumer confidence or seasonality. But you can influence how many opportunities you create, where they come from and how well you convert them.

So instead of asking “When is business going to pick up?” a better question may be:

“What does our sales pipeline need to look like to create a more consistent flow of the right opportunities?”

A good sales system won't make your business immune to market conditions. What it does give you is visibility. You can identify where the pipeline is weak and what needs to improve.

To me, that is the difference between an order taker and a market maker. One waits for demand. The other builds a measurable system for creating and converting the opportunities within the business's control.

Sometimes the best opportunities are found by staying in the conversation. In today’s market, buyers and sellers are negotiating, adapting, and finding common ground rather than simply walking away when the first offer doesn’t work.

Read this week’s blog at https://www.kwhomegrouprealty.ca/blog-august14 to see what’s changing beneath the surface and why being prepared to have the second conversation could make all the difference.

I’ve been having an interesting conversation with sellers lately. “Why don’t we just wait until fall? There will be more buyers.” There probably will be more activity. But more activity and a better seller’s market are not necessarily the same thing.

July’s numbers illustrate why. In Guelph, new listings fell 16.1% from June while sales were almost unchanged. Across Wellington County, new listings fell 15.4%, while transactions declined only 3.8%. Yet approximately eight out of ten homes still sold below asking and selling times increased.

Centre Wellington continues to outperform the broader area year-to-date, but even there buyers remained selective during July. In other words, fewer new listings entering the market did not suddenly make buyers feel more urgency. That’s important for anyone planning to “wait for fall.”

Fall may bring more buyers. It may also bring another wave of listings from sellers who spent the summer waiting for exactly the same thing. So rather than asking whether fall will be busier, I think sellers should ask a different question:
What would need to be different in the fall for waiting to have been the right decision?

Maybe the house will genuinely show better. Maybe personal timing improves. Perhaps a change in borrowing costs would materially affect the likely buyer pool. Those are reasons we can evaluate.

“The fall market is usually stronger” is an assumption. Waiting can absolutely be the right decision. But waiting works best when you can clearly explain what you are waiting for and what needs to happen for that decision to improve your position. If you’re considering selling in Guelph or Wellington County and are debating summer versus fall, I’m happy to look at the actual competition around your property and help you think through the trade-offs before you make the decision.

Waiting for the bottom may feel safe. The problem is that the bottom is usually only obvious after it has passed.

By the time everyone agrees the market has turned, buyer confidence may already be returning. The best properties begin attracting more attention, sellers become less flexible and some of the negotiating advantage available during the uncertain period starts to disappear.

That does not mean everyone should buy today.

It means waiting for certainty and preparing for opportunity are not the same thing.
A recent article from Stonefield Capital makes an important point: the buyers who tend to succeed in difficult or distressed market cycles are not necessarily the ones who predict the exact bottom. They are the ones who understand their position before the right property becomes available.

That preparation includes knowing what you can comfortably afford, what your current home may realistically sell for, how much equity you may have available and which financing options could be considered if a traditional bank solution does not fit the timing.

We are also seeing increased interest in Power of Sale properties. To help buyers and investors stay informed, we are creating a weekly email report identifying available Power of Sale opportunities throughout Wellington County and Waterloo Region.

You can sign up here:

There is an important caution.
Power of Sale does not automatically mean bargain. Repairs, property condition, legal terms, carrying costs and financing expenses can quickly consume what initially appears to be a discount.

Financing can make a transaction possible.

It cannot make a poor real estate decision good.

I am not a mortgage broker and do not arrange financing. My role is to help clients evaluate the property, the price, the risks and the longer-term real estate decision. When specialized financing advice is needed, I can then connect them with the appropriate licensed mortgage professional.

You do not need to predict the market perfectly. You need enough preparation to recognize a worthwhile opportunity—and enough perspective to walk away when the numbers do not make sense.

Every July, I hear some version of the same question: “Should we wait until September?”

Sellers assume the serious buyers have gone to the cottage. Buyers assume good homes will not come to market until the fall.

Summer does change the pace of the real estate market, but it does not stop it.

People still get married, separate, have babies, graduate, relocate for work and inherit property. These are part of what I call the 8-Ds—the life events that create real estate activity regardless of the season.

There may be fewer showings, but the buyers who remain are often more serious. Good properties still come to market. Multiple offers can still happen. And waiting until September may simply mean facing more competing listings.
The calendar does not fix an unrealistic price, poor preparation or a weak marketing strategy.

The better question is:

What would need to be true for this move to make sense in the market we have today?

In Issue 527 of The Guelph Weekly Real Estate Brief, I look at ten common summer real estate myths and what they really mean for buyers and sellers in Guelph and Wellington County.
