Know The Market

One of the most KEY pieces of information anyone needs to know before considering selling or buying a home is “know the market.”

The market is continually changing as supply and demand dramatically affects each community differently. Also, the type of housing you are considering can vary significantly from city to city. Just because the news says that the market went up or down does not necessarily mean this is the case for your community or the community you’re considering moving to.

Here's a great example: South Surrey took the prize for highest gain in property value for 2011, while the general year end reviews would label the Fraser Valley as having a less than average property value gains. Such broad statements don't prove correct in the case of South Surrey - this information is pertinent to making informed decisions.

Take the time to talk to a real estate professional to get the correct market information so that you can make the best decision possible.
