Thanks for the update on the gov't reimbursement rate for relocation. At 3.7%, that's a 1.85% split. I would think that would make a FSBO listing offering 2.0% or more very attractive to a buyer realtor. Could this drive up demand for FSBO if the sellers offer more than the 1.85%?michelb wrote: ↑May 17th, 2017 1:26 pmActually, it looks like it's been reduced to 3.7% for all government employees (I believe Brookfield's has the contract for all branches of government)

I'd be curious to see statistics but I don't believe there's any significantly higher concentration of public servants in Glebe/Old Ottawa South or New Edinburgh. If I had to bet, I'd say there were higher concentrations in Kanata, Orleans and Barrhaven than the other 3 mentioned.

Kanata is super hot in particular I was being outbid by people paying list price on anything decent within a few days. Just nuts. We definately going to the moon to make up the mediocre gains past few years.

I saw it myself. It basically a 2 bed house as 3rd bedroom probably cant fit a queen bed in the whole room. The guy was using 3rd bedroom as some tiny entertainment room. Cant believe someone paid so much for this. Grats to owner I guess.

To be fair, in the description: "With over $40,000 in high-quality and magazine-worthy upgrades".

I actually don't think it's that high of a price for a newer single family home with some upgrades. How much would you expect to pay for something like that? (To be fair, I don't actually know where it is but I don't think < $400k for a single is that much even if it is small).

Good for the entire ottawa market to have bidding ones in Kanata,
Hopefully more and more people move here. Ottawa really is a great place to live
Iv been here 6 months and besides for the Insane winter we had ( hoping it was a fluke ) its been great

Having bought a similar home from Glenview year earlier, though mine had another bedroom, den on the main floor, backing to woods, finished basement for 408K with 2400-sq-ft. I don't think this listing was sold at high end, it if anything in my opinion is about par.

The builder can't raise my price even if the market goes up. I already effectively bought it. Basically I'm getting free gains right now.

Same model is listed on Orleans for $399,900 https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Sing ... sideAvalon. The house right next to this one was also on a 30' lot and was listed for $412k and sold very quickly. This listing went up right after the sold sign went on its neighbour. Interestingly, we had folks delivering real estate flyers in our neighbourhood looking for people wanting to sell as a townhome recently sold within 2 hours of being listed.Applesmack wrote: ↑May 19th, 2017 9:04 amOttawa market is HOT.
