What is the one calculation you want to make sure you're doing if you're thinking of selling your house in November or December but first what went on in the Winnipeg Real Estate Market in October. In October in Winnipeg we saw house sales down 14% over last year and prices down 1.4% In condos we saw sales down 33% but prices were up at 12.6% Now the numbers in October don't seem great however one month doesn't make a trend so we'll see what the market does in November. Now if you're thinking of selling or buying a house in November or December the one calculation you want to make sure you're aware of is well I said a friend who was thinking of selling their house and they said that we're gonna wait until February or March because we feel that the markets going to be better then and we'll hopefully make 2% more if we sell next year and that does usually happen in the last number of years where we see an increase in price going into the next year. Now the only problem with that is it's going to cost him approximately $2,000 a month to hold on to his house from now until not only February but if possessions not till March or April it could end up costing an extra 10 or $12,000 so it's important to make sure you do the calculation to figure out is it worth it even if the market is going to be up 2% next year is it worth it to hold on to your house and sell then or is it better to take profits now and get out and be done with it. It's also important if you're looking to buy because this time of year is a great time of year to buy because you can buy now and get that price bump coming into February or March next year. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

If you don't want to lose money selling your house in the Fall you have to do these three things but first what happened in the Winnipeg Real Estate Market in September. In September in Winnipeg we saw the average price of a house increase 3% over last year and we saw sales increase 4.4% in condos we saw basically no change in the average sale price and sales decrease 23.3% As you can see the numbers in September are very strong and we expect this to continue into the Fall however, the Fall market is always the same it's very very strong until the weather changes and it can fall right off which is why there's three things you have to do or you will lose money selling your house in the Fall. No. 1 make sure it's priced properly No.2 make sure it's marketed well with great quality videos and pictures and aerial photos and finally No. 3 is making sure your house is staged well so it will absolutely show its best. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

In August, in Winnipeg, we saw sales down 11% but prices increase 4.7% In condos we saw sales down 24% and a small increase in price of .003% Exactly as we thought, August turned out to be a great month. Strong sales, increase in pricing and we expect the same thing to happen going into the Fall however, even though September and October can be great months to sell in it can turn quickly depending on the weather which means don't wait to have pictures taken of your yard. Right now everything looks wonderful but come the Fall and come Winter buyers won't know how wonderful it is. That's why we will send out a professional photographer for FREE right now to get those pictures taken so when it does come time to sell you'll have access to these pictures and your home will absolutely show its best getting you more money and selling more quickly. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900
