Why Abbotsford is the best place to live.

by Mako Britz

)

Mako was supposed to show some of Realtor Ranj's (one of the best Abbotsford real estate agents Mako has ever had the pleasure of working with) listings to some of his buyers. However, the buyers canceled freeing up both of their evenings. Just 2 weeks ago Abbotsford had 6-8 inches of snow and yet here they are out in 16 degree weather riding motorcyles to Cultas Lake just 20 min away from Abbotsford. All 4 seasons in 2 weeks. If you ever need a great landscaper (now is the season to moss out and lime) call Bryon at 778 878 1737. Best rates and very reliable guy. Mako has known him since kindergarten. 

Mako talks about putting the brakes on a transaction when representing a buyer. The sellers price was not at market value and Mako did not want his buyers to over pay for a home. Be sure to hire an agent with a proven track record so you do not over pay for your home. Any questions? Feel free to email callmako@hotmail.com

Mako' Market Update

by Mako Britz

Abbotsford     22% Absorption Rate (Fair for Buyers & Sellers)

Mission          19% Absorption Rate (Fair for Buyers & Sellers)

Langley          22% Absorption Rate (Fair for Buyers & Sellers)

Cloverdale         21% Absorption Rate (Fair for Buyers & Sellers)

Absorption Rates Explained

If we have 100 homes on the market and we consume (sell) 18-22 (18%-22%) of these homes per month that is a balanced market, fair for buyers and fair for sellers.

If we sell under 18% it becomes a Buyers market with a lot of inventory for buyers to choose from. Sellers will have to make some price adjustments or do some minor updates such as increase curb appeal to attract a buyer.

If we sell over 22% it becomes a Sellers market. Buyers will find themselves in multiple offer situations and potentially loose out on the house the are bidding on.

If you would like a market update of any other city listed here, simply email me and we are happy to get one out to you at no cost or obligation.
