When Shannon Tebb listed her downtown Toronto loft for sale in mid-June, she did everything to make the property attractive for buyers. She hired stagers, painted walls, washed the windows, listed the place below market value and advertised all over social media.Tebb terminated the listing because the market shifted so significantly that the bidding wars and frenzied pace of sales seen earlier this year had dissipated.
Both have made it routine for properties to sit for weeks or months, pushing sellers to make tough decisions. "We're seeing a lot of sellers just not getting the price they want and so they're like, 'we're going to hold off' or 'I don't want to sell $50,000 lower from what my neighbour got a month ago because that's a lot of money,"' said Anna Wong, a Strata sales representative.
"We are seeing some sellers stick on the market. They're listing their properties trying to get yesterday's prices and they're staying on for long periods of time," said Dan Campanella, a broker with Keller Williams Advantage Realty, who represented Tebb. Rentals.ca similarly found average rents in Canada were up 9.5 per cent from a year earlier, while Vancouver had a 24.7 per cent jump from a year earlier and Calgary saw a 26.1 per cent increase.
