Sellers have been feeling the pitch since 2016, but two years later — after much fanfare in the aforementioned stats — the housing market is finally getting its chance to wag. In Q2 2018, what agents have been feeling and whispering about for the past 30 months was finally being reported, namely that there are big changes coming.

With so much uncertainty in the market, can buyers purchase with confidence and can sellers sell without losing everything?
Buyers can move forward with confidence because they are buying shelter — a necessity, a home, as well as an asset and investment. Sellers can be confident if they get realistic. If there’s equity in the property, it might be less than before, but if they price wisely with current market in mind, do the necessary prep work prior to listing and have expectations that are based in today’s reality, the market can be extremely generous.
