Tips for Buying a Home in Markham
Home prices have seen a dip across the country in the last few months, but the Markham market is still going strong and average prices remain over the $1 million mark. Buyers may still face fierce competition, but there are strategies that buyers can use to secure their dream property.
The first, and arguably the most important step, is selecting the right agent to represent you. Your agent should do much more than find and show you properties. The best agent for any buyer is one who understands the unique complexities of your neighbourhood’s market. They can inform you of the best negotiation practices and offer strategies that will help you come out on top in a bidding war. They’ll also be a helpful resource for connecting you to the right professionals, like mortgage brokers, movers, and lawyers, that will make your purchasing experience more seamless. This team of professionals will be invaluable for you when it comes to financing your purchase and can even help you navigate first-time buyer incentives.
Understanding the stages of buying is important for prospective buyers to understand and set themselves up for success. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to buying a home, so it’s a good idea to get familiar with the different stages of buying a property before you get started.
