Hi Everyone:

Here is my Real Estate Market Update for July 2010. We take a look at how many homes and condos are on the market on June 30th, and then compare it to how many have sold in the past 30 days.

We also compare those stats with sales of houses and condos in Winnipeg over the past 6 months to see where we are heading.

Hello everyone:

In order for the home-seller to be assured top dollar in Winnipeg's hot real estate market, it is in their best interest to create a bidding war, or multiple offer situation. Why?

"It is only thru competition that we try our hardest and achieve our best!"

I don't know who said this first, but I firmly believe it's true. Think about it: Track and Field records are not set during practice runs. They are set during the Olympics and World Championship events, when competition is at its highest level. The same holds true for the sale of a house. EVERY buyer thinks the house is over-priced, especially if he is the only one making an offer. If there is NO competition, the buyer will try to get the house at a reduced price. However, if the buyer realizes that there are 3 or 4 other people who are also putting in an offer, they then put their best foot forward and present their best, cleanest and highest offer.


Creating a bidding war is in the home-sellers best interest. If you're thinking of selling, be sure to call me and I'll be glad to sit down with you and explain how this works. Bo: 333-2202

Hello Everyone:

While the housing market in Winnipeg is, quite simply, NUTS, home-buyers can still find a very nice condo in a reasonable price range. Houses in the $150,000 to $200,000 range usually receive multiple offers, especially if they are nice and in good areas. On the other hand, condos in this price range can be found and quite often purchased without "bidding wars".

And so it was the case of this gorgeous condo in the South Pembina area. 1100 sq ft townhouse style, with 2 BR's,
insuite laundry, central air-conditionion and central furnace, complete appliance package, designer colors and all new lights.

If you're looking for a condo (or a house) make sure you give me a call, anytime. I love helping buyers find their dream-home. You can call me at (204) 333-2202.
