More homes for sale doesn’t mean every property is a good deal.
Higher inventory can give buyers more selection, more time to compare and greater negotiating leverage. However, a price reduction may simply be correcting an unrealistic original asking price.
In other cases, the lower price could reflect poor condition, an undesirable location, strata concerns, upcoming repairs or a layout that may make the property difficult to resell.
Before making an offer, examine the complete picture:
✔️ Recent comparable sales
✔️ Competing active listings
✔️ Days on market and price history
✔️ Renovation and repair costs
✔️ Strata minutes, financials and depreciation reports
✔️ Financing and total monthly ownership costs
The goal isn’t to find the property with the biggest discount. It’s to buy the right property at a price supported by the market—without inheriting someone else’s expensive problem.
