As the Beatles might say,
it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter and our long hibernation may have left
many of us bursting at the seams in more ways than one! Our pants might feel a
little tighter and so too, the four walls of your home or condo. For those
seeking more room to workout or simply a place to plant new roots, there’s no
better time to go shopping with a real estate agent for your new “forever”
home. If spring inspired de-cluttering
instead, perhaps it’s time to downsize. Whether you’re thinking big or deciding
to downsize there’s nothing like the sight of sunshine to get us thinking about
the state of the spring real estate market!
In a recent article culled
from the Globe and Mail Report on Business, we’ve learned that “Canada’s
housing market…is forecasting a strong spring” and conditions are ripe for
continued momentum (in the) market. (1) If you’re contemplating a move you’ll
need real estate agents with local experience.
We are your realtors in the Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, Erin,
Georgetown and Hills of Headwaters region. Realtors with over 32 years combined
experience, we urge you speak to any of our current or former clients and find
out why repeat customers are our specialty and nothing means more to us than a
personal referral.
Business market analysts
and the weatherman all agree, it’s been an unusually harsh winter but with
warmer temperatures comes a warming up of the housing market. With everyone stuck indoors for so long the
spring housing market, typically the busiest time of year, has experienced a
delayed start that ensures a “pent-up energy” and demand for housing (2) that
needs to be met with listings, listings, listings! The good news is “house prices
continue to post modest gains in urban centres around the Golden Horseshoe”
while inventory struggles to keep pace. (3) Sellers should consider this news
as a prime opportunity to do that spring-cleaning, freshen up the lawn and turn
the flowerbeds making your home inviting for the spring hordes of prospective
purchasers. It’s finally safe to open windows wide, welcoming the twin sounds
of birds chirping and buyers bidding.
Spring isn’t just good news
for sellers. In addition to the flowers blooming in Flowertown* “Brampton is
one of the most affordable submarkets in the GTA.” (4) That means if you’re on
a budget but spring has you dreaming of summer, green grass and a yard for the
kids, now is the perfect time to think of upgrading. Interest rates are projected
to remain low as we “March toward May” meaning these three spring months are an
ideal time to lock in to a new mortgage.
Purchase your piece of patio now, ready to enjoy a bbq in your new
backyard oasis. For parents, spring is a great time to buy with a summer moving
date so your kids get acquainted with the neighbourhood, settled and ready to
start school with new friends in September. As real estate agents in the
Georgetown, Brampton, Caledon or Mississauga regions, put Realtors Ed and
Roland to work “4u” today.
So whether downsizing or
expanding, a little spring-cleaning means you’re already half way to leaving
the old nest and feathering a new one. The crocuses are coming out in Caledon
and in Erin, true to its Irish roots, the grass is turning green attracting
tourists and prospective purchasers alike. The Maples are majestic in
Mississauga, unaffected by the winter ice storm. Go for a hike in the Hills of Headwaters or
in the beautiful Georgetown and Halton Hills area and look for signs of spring,
including those posted by iPro Realty real estate agents Ed and Roland
Groenenberg, the twin dream team of www.twinrealtors4u.com. We offer individualized service in all of these locations because we live, work
and play here too. Fight the winter bulge and step into spring! Come house
hunting with Ed and Roland where we put our clients first in everything we do
and we’re ready to spring into action for you!

as Flowertown for more than 50 years because of its long association with
greenhouses and the flower growing industry?
