North Oakville Prices on the way down?

O

Because there are a lot of foreign owners in oakville, they are rushing out to sell to prevent any potential loss if liberals win the majority

Next spring, the price will go back up

Where are you seeing the same homes selling for cheaper? Compare apples to apples as well. A 20 year old house is not the same as a brand new house. That said, the precon prices are high. I just don't see where people are selling similar product for cheaper. This is a nice area. They have townhouses selling for 1.5M+ resale

Also, you don't buy here to flip. Anyone doing so is an idiot. You buy here to live with your family for some time. 10+ years down the road you will see a good return on your investment. Gotta play the long game with this kind of real estate and if you're not prepared to do so then don't buy.

I was talking about Glen Abbey. As far as the other location, yes there are resale homes from the same builder going for less. Yes, you're right, resale would be a better deal. But you leave out the part that some people simply don't have the 20% down right away. New consruction gives them a couple years or longer to save/come up with the money and also increase income. Also, some willing to pay a bit more to pick their own finishes.

People lookign for a home now and not caring much about picking finishes and lots will go for the resale which is fine. Builders are out to lunch, but they're also going to try to squeeze as much money as they can. It's like people who sell something on ebay for 20% markup when you can just buy the thing at the store. The seller is banking on the chance they're going to find a taker.

Glen Abbey is different to me. The resale prices there are just higher no matter what. Also closer to water and more sought after area. I think both areas will do well but it is going to be down the road. Not in 5 years. More like 10.

Edit.....I should have scrolled down further. Don't look at the asking. Look at the sold prices. That house is not getting sold for anything close to that price. Seems sales are between 1.35-1.7M

I'm pretty certain the resale listing from your pic is purposely underlisted for $999,999 to attract buyers. It will def sell for closer to if not over 1.4

Exactly...it's underlisted. It was listed for 1.45 a month back..They will probably sell for 1.3 ...
There should be some rules to discourage underlisting. How about a no clause, cash offer of listed price = guaranteed sale !

Yes, I do hate the strategy of under listing.

The quality of homes does seem superior and looks like the price includes a premium for the locality.
Not much familiar with north Oakville. But looking for something like this in near future.
Is it possible to get anything similar in GTA - high ceiling, 2500+sqft for lower than $1.1m ?

Not just Oakville, but all over the gta. York region tanked 30%+ from the peak and continues to trend down

Wrong!

Wrong, yes there are properties that did tank 30% or so.
But only a handful. I thought everyone did but more houses I look at that's not actually the case.
People did go over their budgets though
I would say prices are maybe ~10% below peak on average and if we consider inflation, ~15%

Nobody is forced to bid or buy. Why discourage a method that can get a seller more $$$ in their pocket?

What was the new build price for this resale home at preconstruction?

I was effected by the down prices
Purchases at higher price from Valery homes
And was shocked to see that they dropped the prices and offered better upgrades.

The bears like it in that they can grab a screenshot of the listing which is priced for a bidding war and then say “look how prices are down”. When in reality the price it actually sells for is much much higher.

The bears don’t like it because it teases them that the crash scenario is happening and they will be able to buy RE off of destitute RFD homeowners at 50c on the dollar, and then get a rude awakening when it does sell.

Leaside just had a place go for $1M+ over asking for $4M +
Just to counter balance your constant foolish bear posts.

We need to bring back the downvote button so people can see through the trolls.

wow-oakville-new-townhomes-now-1m-singl ... e-2316217/

Let’s conveniently ignore the fact that new SINGLE CAR GARAGE middle unit townhouses are now selling for over a million. Oh yeah, prices are dropping real fast!

Lol, get real. I bought a townhouse in 2018 and have closely monitored my area. The same unit just sold for 40k more than I bought for. Other than luxury homes prices have increased.

You forgot that it’s bioanatomically impossible for prices to drop (thanks buttcoin). Any drop will immediately be bought up by the rich immigrants with BOATLOADS of cash.
