Did You Know?...

• Fifty-eight per cent of buyers surveyed revealed that they were willing to make a decision after viewing 10 homes or less, while only 11 per cent of buyers thought they would have to view over 20 homes in order to feel comfortable making a decision.
• An overwhelming majority of people (83%) surveyed said that they would regard their Realtor's assessment of the home as somewhat or very important. As such, sellers need to impress both potential buyers and Realtors, who are local market experts. This dynamic raises the bar for everyone selling a home.
• When asked which room of the house had the most significant impact on their purchasing decision, 52 per cent of buyers said the kitchen and 25 per cent said the living room. A surprisingly low five per cent of buyers thought the bathroom had the greatest impact.
• Twenty-seven per cent of those polled were looking to purchase a home or condominium in the next five years.
• 63 per cent of buyers preferred a higher priced home that does not require any renovations over a lower priced fixer-upper.
