Taking the plunge

[hmc]

I think, in this market, you have a lot of opportunities.

The key is to do the home work and be *very decisive*. You will miss opportunities with hesitations. You will never find a perfect home but you must have discipline on what is must to have and what is nice to have.

I disagree that you need 6-12 months to find a home. With today’s information available from internet, you will have a sense what the market is in a couple of weeks, if you work on it.

Let me repeat again, be decisive (with educated information)! If you find a home you like in the near future, don’t pass it just because you are not on the market long enough. Good deals do come and go very fast.

How would you know it’s a good deal AND a good fit for YOUR needs/wants if you haven’t look at various places? I am still discovering certain pockets in the areas we are interested in, that are interesting – not that much inventory you see. So without that information, without enough sampling of various areas/pockets/neighborhoods – that have to BE on the market – how can you have a good idea about what’s a good deal?

Edit: I am looking in PQ, among other places, same as OP.

Concur; more looking and following sales equates to better insight on whatcto do.

Truly you cannot eff around if you really want a particular abode. But it’s hard to understand the situation without shopping. I’d say one year.

What information can’t you find in internet now a days?

In most cases, if you follow asking price and sold price and house data (size, etc) and photos, which are all availale on internet, you will have pretty good idea what the market is pretty soon. In the meantime, you can ask your agent to show some properties on the market.

Anyways, I don’t believe you need 6-12 months of looking to find a house in most cases. Sure, you need to do home work but time is also essense here for catching an opportunity. If you really wait that long, you are either unlucky or hesitant (hesitation is normal for most people, especially for big transactions, and that’s why most money are made by few people).
