The public registry is a treasure trove of information for both buyers and sellers. Catherine and Kent share tips for unlocking its full potential, helping you make informed decisions and maximize your investment opportunities.The public registry is generally reliable for tracking property transactions, but its accuracy can vary depending on the type of property. Condos tend to be more accurate since developers typically register the sale price, which usually stays close to the actual selling price. However, with custom-built single-family homes, there can be discrepancies between the registered price and the final sale price due to individual features and negotiations. So, while the registry is useful for understanding property sales, it may not always reflect the full picture, especially for single-family homes.

Catherine and Kent reveal market insights, uncovering developer pricing strategies and how buyers can benefit.If you’re in the market for a condo in April 2024, you might want to consider other options besides buying directly from developers if you’re hoping to negotiate for a better deal.
