September Stats

http://www.kwar.ca/condominium-sales-remain-strong-in-k-w/

The news from Septembers statistics for Kitchener-Waterloo was that property prices continue to increase, in particular in the Condo market. The Canadian Real Estate Association reported that intereste rates continue to remain low. http://creanews.ca/ . Great news for those looking to increase the amount they're borrowing to purchase properties.

This month was a busy month. J&T were able to find their next dream house, an immaculate newer home with gorgeous hardwood floors. We were able to sell their present home in less than a week thus ensuring they didn't lose out on their new home. So, happy for them. C&H got possession of their new digs this month and although a smaller home will be an adjustment they're looking forward to cross-country skiing steps away from their new home. K's property sold just days after staging it and relisting. Amazing what a little paint and new flooring can do! S&B's home sold in less than a week to a buyer eager to move close to Uptown Waterloo which continues to be a desirable neighbourhood.

I've also been working with a great Mortgage Specialist Claire Cochrane from RBC on getting some materials together for my clients. She worked out a great spread sheet for my clients to easily reference how the cost of homes translates into monthly payments. Interested? Ask me for one!

Upcoming, I'm working with a few families getting their properties ready to list and looking for a great 4 bedroom home in Beechwood, Northlake, or Colonial Acres. Another buyer looking for a bungalow in uptown Waterloo and also looking for a semi in the Northlake area.

Lots in the works. I also received this great reference from another happy client: "It was truly a wonderful experience. Krista combines the correct amount of knowledge of the market and vision of your home to attract the correct purchaser in the quickest amount of time. Krista brings with her both the intelligence and diplomacy needed to get a deal closed."
