St. John's Real Estate - St. John's Homes for Sale

Last year there were far more people who wanted to buy condominiums than there were condos for sale. This may not be the case this year with the number of new condominium projects in various stages of development. Three of these new developments are in Conception Bay South and Mount Pearl.

St. John’s real estate is on a good many investors radar these days. Some of these people are seasoned real estate investors; others are just beginning to feel their way. If you’re new to the game it’s often hard to know where to start? As always it’s good to begin with the preliminaries: • do you want to go ...

In seven years I have handled 100+ new homes builds with my clients. New home builds are always trickier to manage than buying a resale home. This year it became a little more complicated. For instance, I have a client whose costs to build just went up $12,000.00 before construction even starts, and a friend whose home is already 2 weeks behind ...

Mortgage Pre approval tops the list – I can’t overstress this one. If you want your offer to be taken seriously, you need the proof that a ...

Why Such a Big Prize This past week CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) presented their annual real estate review and projections for the coming year. Once it was all said and done the St. John’s CMA (Census Metropolitan Area) area walked away with the Oscar for Best Real Estate Market Picture. ...

- this past week. I spoke to four agents that had listings sell well above asking within days of being placed on the market.  There's a qualifier though. All of these homes were priced between $150,000 - $200,000.00. Based on the facts, it's a pretty safe bet, at least for one segment, that we're in a seller's market. ...

I’ve never experienced a real estate market like this since I’ve been selling real estate. Some might say it’s because I only have seven years in the business, but other realtors, some who have been in the business much, much longer, say the same thing. What’s so unusual? It’s the low number of listings on the ...
