*Keep in mind there aren't enough sales in each of the other neighbourhoods in Brantford to be able to provide information that would be a true reflection of what is really happening in those neighbourhoods.

Terry's Take on the Brantford Real Estate Market
The higher interest rates and increased supply of houses for sale in Brantford has resulted in a significant drop in the average sale price for a home in Brantford(average sale price in December was $600,615) compared to where the prices were at during the peak of the market in February 2022(average sale price in February was $831,213), and also compared to a year ago(average sale price in December 2021 was $781,486). However, the average sale price back in December 2019 was $440,742 and if it wasn't for the market going crazy with sale prices that didn't make any sense in 2021 and early in 2022, then I'm sure we would be happy with an average sale price of $600,615 since that would be an increase of 36.27% or $159,873 over that 3-year period. Unfortunately right now there are a lot of houses for sale in Brantford that are simply being overpriced and they are not selling, and they are not going to sell.
While the higher interest rates may present challenges for some buyers, for the buyers and investors who are working with a local real estate professional who can keep them informed about the trends in the market and use their experience and expertise in negotiation when they find the right property, this market creates opportunities for those buyers and investors to be able to take full advantage and get a great deal on the type of property they're looking for. *I should note that despite the current market condnitions, our listings have still been getting multiple offers and selling fast and for above their asking prices!
In this new market the pricing and marketing for a property is extremely important if you want to maximize the sale price for your home and also have a smooth transaction. Great marketing still sells homes! Click here to find out what your Brantford home is really worth in the current market.
