As we say goodbye to June, we have officially settled into a summer real estate market.
As is cyclical, outside of pandemic times, summer around the GTA tends to bring a bit of a vacation mode to real estate. With everyone off to cottages, camping trips, summer camps, and vacations, we usually see fewer listings and fewer buyers in the mix.
That said, there are always a few caveats.
More rural and cottage properties can see an uptick in activity this time of year, along with the spring stragglers — the would-be sellers who had every intention of listing in spring market but hit a few roadblocks along the way.
Summer isn’t a bad time to list by any means, as long as you’re considering all the variables and having honest conversations with your representative. Buyers, on the other hand, who are willing to brave the heat and keep one eye on MLS between weekends away, can benefit from a little less competition.
However you choose to spend the summer months, I hope it’s a safe and enjoyable one.
