The fall market is over, folks. And it went by quickly!

It’s amazing how we went from the hot summer into back-to-school mode in the fall, through Halloween, and past the dregs of November. Maybe I’m sounding like a cliché parent: “…they grow up so fast…” or “Life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it,” but nevertheless, the three short months of 2023 fall real estate market flew right by.

If I wanted to describe this fall’s real estate market in a single world, one which is currently en vogue, and perhaps from the urban dictionary, I might call it a “Nothingburger.”

Yes! I finally got to use it!

Many of us were geared up for a “big fall” only to find disappointment awaiting immediately on the other side of the Labour Day long weekend. While the average home price did increase from August to September and from September to October, as you’ll read in the next section, it finished the fall market back in line with summer pricing.

Sales remained flat. Listings remained unspectacular. The market and its participants took a very long time adapting to a balanced market rather than the seller’s market we had grown accustomed to.

Sellers didn’t want to sell for market value, and buyers weren’t willing to pay market premiums.

The result was some of the lowest sales figures we’ve ever seen.

🏡 Embracing the Opportunity 🔥✨⁣
⁣
Last week, I stumbled upon a gem in Leslieville – a 2-bed, 2-bath freehold property now at $950,000 from its initial $1,250,000. The market dance has seen it drop, and I'm eyeing this chance with intent.⁣
⁣
In the whirlwind of Toronto's real estate, this property might've fetched $1,350,000 in Feb '22 at our market's "peak." And you know what? I believe it will return there. Not tomorrow, not next year, but eventually.⁣
⁣
Yes, interest rates are high, but hear this - even at 6%, this property would "only" lose about $300/month with a tenant. Some might call it risky, but that's $3,600/year. Funny enough, this property's seen a $300,000 price drop since August.⁣
⁣
What's my take? The current scene is the greatest buying opportunity in years. I'm gearing up to make a splash because, honestly, "I can't afford not to."⁣
⁣
Think about it – years later, we'll meet folks with a killer real estate portfolio, which might just trace back to this very downturn in 2023. I'm not just throwing words, stats and evidence back it.⁣
⁣
To build something remarkable, you have to step into discomfort. It's about running towards the fire when everyone else is stepping back. 🔥 Ready to seize the moment? Let's make moves! 🏠💼 ⁣

Your home will not be listed unless it’s a 10/10.

What does this mean?

Watch the video to find out.

The truth is you’re not sure about this neighbourhood anymore.

You chose this place because it's close to the train and all the stores, right?

But now, questionable things are happening way too often in the area.

It's got you feeling super worried and unsafe all the time. You don't even wanna step outside alone anymore.

And that’s not the only thing about this place that doesn’t work anymore.

The bottomline is that it’s time to move.

The good news is it doesn't have to be this way!

This is why I created a 5 step process to help people just like you find a home that better fits you and your family so you can enjoy life. If you’d like to learn more about my House to Home Method, reach out and I’ll send you my free guide.

I’ve talked about this before in other content but let me say it again!

Your home will not be listed unless it’s a 10/10, If it’s an 8 out of 10 or 7 out of 10, it’s not good enough.

Part of my process is to make sure that your home looks its very best.

I want you to make the most money possible from this transaction and presenting it in the best light is key.

Here’s what my clients have to say about working with my House to Home Method.

“Majid brought a wealth of real estate experience, deep commitment to selling our property, and an unparalleled presentation. He provides honest advice and can draw resources (e.g., contractors, staging providers, and other services) that do great work for great value. I would encourage him and re-use his services again.”

This comes up all the time in real estate.

Can you time the market?

Here’s what I think.

You know, there's something to be said for setting goals - and I mean even the really big ones.

Without goals, I don’t think we have much in the way of direction.

And I think our goals should be all encompassing.

Maybe it’s a health and fitness goal. I know this is something I’m constantly trying to improve.

Maybe it’s a business goal. For me, the better and smoother my business is, the better my clients are being taken care of.

Or maybe it’s a certain lifestyle or goal for the future! This comes up alot when helping my clients find the right home.

It's not just about the goal itself; it's about the climb to get there and the things you learn on the journey. Those lessons, the growth, the sweat, and sometimes even the tears - they shape you.

Goals, big or small, act like a compass.

They guide us, keep us on track, and provide that spark of motivation when things get tough.

And sometimes, they remind us to dream and to reach for things that may seem out of reach.

So aim high and enjoy the journey!

Tell me about your goals!
