Strategies to reveal winter real estate deals
The desolate landscape of the early January real estate market does not deter Toronto-based real estate agent Manu Singh from perusing new listings.
Mr. Singh, of Right at Home Realty, kicks off the New Year with a fresh search of the city because that’s when determined or desperate sellers stand out.
His strategy starts with tracking properties for sale that have their listings cancelled in December. Many sellers are just testing the market, he says, and they are not motivated to negotiate a deal if they don’t receive the price they are hoping for.
