New tactics in an unsettled real estate market

by Carolyn Ireland

This four-bedroom house in Lawrence Park was listed in the week after Labour Day with an asking price slightly less than $6-million. It had more than 10 appointments booked within the first three days, the agent says.

Buyers lamenting a shortage of inventory in the Toronto-area real estate market will have a rush of fresh listings to sort through this month.

But the added supply is coming into an unsettled market where agents say some retro practices are making a comeback and new tactics are emerging.
