For Sellers:  Oakridge in London is quite stable with sought after schools, a safe envirnoment and pleasing streetscapes. Economists are predicting real estate in the London region may increase 8-9% in 2010 and interest rates to increase as high as 6%. Byron will be a neighbourhood that may see these price increases because of the amenities and the inventory of homes for sale. I cannot predict the future; however; in any market, clean, quality homes that are priced well sell quickly. Those who are testing the market or not facing reality as to the real value of their home, languish on the market, take longer to sell and for far less than the correct price which the home should have been marketed for in the first place. Why do some homes sell in 7-10 days and others 55-75 days? It is what I call the 3 P's of real estate. Price, Product and Promotion.
