TORONTO -- How do you sell a house if you can't show it to buyers?
"While only the provincial government or the real estate regulator has the ability to mandate an end to open houses, we urge realtors to encourage clients to take advantage of digital tools like virtual tours when buying or selling a home," Darlene Hyde, chief executive of the British Columbia Real Estate Association, said in a statement Friday.
March numbers will undoubtedly tell a different story, but it's not clear yet exactly what that will be, says Fleming, who is author of the Toronto Realty Blog. He expects listings and sales will drop in the booming Toronto market. The pandemic has already shifted pricing strategies in Toronto's market, says Fleming, where low listing prices and holdback offers had been commonplace. Now, Fleming says homes are being listed for fair market value and offers are being taken any time.
Absolutely! Who would want a potential carrier or someone who has Covid19 in their house
It's not a lone realtor in an open house, it's those that still amid the pandemic that will leave their homes to go.
Whoever is still going to open houses right now clearly has bricks for brains.
Well duh! Come on people....the last thing we want is to end up like our neighbors to the south.... USE YOUR HEADS!
And car sales.
I’d never buy a house using a virtual tour, this is idiotic. You’re going to drop at least 500k minimum depending on where you live. I’m not placing one of the biggest investments of my life on a virtual tour.
What about the thousands of employees that have direct contact with potential infected people on a daily basis? Especially in the grocery stores! These employees have NO PROTECTION OR DISTANCING MEASURES IMPLEMENTED!! JustinTrudeau PattyHajdu drewdilkens
Only if they do not how to implement social distancing and creat new safe measures to do so. Let’s not let one bad apple ruin it for the rest
