Your questions, answered

Straight answers from Colonial Estates’s closed transactions.

Is now a good time to buy?

Too few recent sales for a confident read — see the longer-run trend below.

How much room is there to negotiate?

Not enough closed sales this month to measure — the price-cut chart below is the best proxy.

When is the best time to list?

Closings peak in September and bottom out around January. Listing four to six weeks ahead of the peak historically gets the most eyes.

Is it a good rental investment?

Yield needs at least 3 closed sales and 3 closed leases in a month — this area doesn’t clear that bar yet.
