A seller leans back and asks, “Is anyone really looking right now?”
It’s not fear. It’s uncertainty.
Buying a strata property involves more than choosing the right unit. It also means reviewing a set of documents that explain how the building is governed, funded, and maintained over time.
These documents — often referred to collectively as “strata documents” — are a standard part of the buying process. They can be lengthy, technical, and unfamiliar to many buyers, especially those purchasing a condo or townhome for the first time.
Buying one home while selling another can be a delicate balance. Finding the right home can quickly turn into a race if you receive an offer. And once you do find the right place, you need to remain calm and collected throughout the negotiation process.
Every seller obviously wants to get the most money for his or her product. Ironically, the best way to do this is NOT to list your product at an excessively high price! A high listing price will cause some prospective buyers to lose interest before even seeing your property. Also, it may lead other buyers to expect more than what you have to offer.
