Is It a Good Buy or Good Bye?

Will the Kitchener-Waterloo real estate market cool down, level out or gain steam?

No one can be sure what lies ahead for the Kitchener-Waterloo real estate market, but there are a few proactive steps you can take if you're thinking about making a move:

Crunch the Numbers

Ensure you're financially ready for homeownership. With various additional costs beyond mortgage payments, it’s essential to have a clear understanding before taking the plunge.

Planning Makes Perfect

Plan ahead by researching local amenities such as shopping, restaurants and public transit. If you're planning to start a family, check out local schools and parks.

Stick to Your Budget

Before starting your home search, make a detailed list of needs/wants so that you’re not tempted to overextend yourself financially later on.

Match Maker

Once you have a better idea of what you’re looking for, you can register to receive notifications of homes that match your criteria as soon as they hit the market!

Market Master

In addition to new listings, you can also receive notifications of recently sold homes. That way, when you’re ready to make an offer, you’ll have a better idea of what similar homes are going for.

An unpredictable real estate market can make it hard to decide whether it’s best to wait around for prices to drop or move ahead quickly before they spike.

It’s completely natural to experience a wide range of emotions during the ups and downs of the real estate journey. House hunting should be fun though, and it will be, as long as you’re prepared.

The key to finding the perfect home is to have a professional on your side who will help guide you along the way, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you ever have any questions about the Kitchener-Waterloo real estate market. That’s what I’m here for!
