Well, everything’s still verbal at this point. We offered, they counter-offered, we countered their counter and they’ve accepted. Our agent is still waiting for the paperwork from the selling agent.
The bidding went like this:
We offer at 92.6% of list price. They counter-offered back at 97.7%. We counter-countered at 94.7% and they’ve accepted. We’re just waiting [...]
Perhaps I blogged too soon about receiving an offer on our place. But I can now say that the buyers have removed their subjects. The deal is now firm and the place is now sold!
After 5 months on the market and a really slow summer, we have our first offer.Â
Offer comes in for 97.7% of our asking price, we countered up to 98.4%, they counter-countered back down to 97.9%. We accepted their offer. We really don’t want to let this one go.
It looks like the buyers are in a [...]
We’ve lowered our listing price by $10,000 to try to entice an offer from a potential buyer. We’ve been listed about a month with a couple of open houses, some private viewings and no offers yet. This is how the market is these days; many listings are staying on the market longer and longer.

This past Tuesday, the Bank of Canada decided to keep their overnight rate unchanged at 3% despite analyst expectations of a 25-basis-point cut to help stimulate our economy. It seems the BoC now has its sights set on fighting inflation. How does this affect mortgage rates?

There were 4 groups that came by yesterday, and one today, and another tomorrow. We’ve had to [...]
Today was the big day. We finished our last-minute cleanups before our real estate agent arrived. She had scheduled our open house to be from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. So we took the opportunity to do some Open House hopping ourselves.
Anna plugged in some addresses into our Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS and we were [...]
Now that our home is on the market and people are aware of our upcoming Open House, it’s time to clean up.
Previously, I mentioned that our home is on the market. It just went up on MLS.CA today so it’s now visible to the public. Our realtor actually listed our home on Monday so other realtors have actually been made aware of our listing prior to its being made public on the MLS website.
We’ve been looking to move to a bigger home recently and finally we’ve taken the first step: listing our current property. Our property has many things going for it: close to amenities, close to public transit, has an attached garage instead of a parkade, has a relatively low monthly strata fee. I’m confident [...]
