The RightMove

Page 2: Kate Peterson 'Market Study' Magazine - 2016

Kate’s MessageWelcome to an unseasonably warm 2016! It would appear that the mild weather has kept our real estate market not just warm but hot! 2015 closed with the second best December in history which capped off a record year for Toronto Real Estate Board sales across the GTA.The desire for home ownership by first time buyers coupled with low borrowing costs kept home sales on track this past year. The lack of inventory to meet that demand made it a competitive marketplace and drove pricing up for yet another year. That was great for our home sellers and tricky ground for home buyers.

What will 2016 bring is the million dollar question. There is plenty of pent up consumer demand from those purchasers who still have mortgage pre-approvals in hand at what are arguably lower rates than what may be coming down the pipeline. They are eager to purchase so this speaks to a strong first quarter for home sellers.

If 2016 is the year that your family intends to make their next move, the Kate Peterson Team has a wealth of experience, a wide network of professional service providers and a strong and energetic sales and support team. We’re ready to make your move a simple, smooth and straightforward experience.

The right information, the right decisions, the right results… It’s The Right Move to have the Kate Peterson Team by your side. Have a wonderful year!

The Right Information. The Right Decisions. TEAM

Keller Williams associates may be taking the day off on Thursday, May 12, 2016, but it will hardly be a day of rest. Associates with the KW Realty Solutions Office have chosen to “Give Where They Live” as part of RED Day, one of the biggest events in the real estate industry.

Short for “Renew, Energize and Donate,” RED Day was created to unite Keller Williams Realty offices and associates in an international day of service.

Since the first RED Day in 2009, Keller Williams associates have given almost a half million hours of community service through activities ranging from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in public parks, revamping gardens at nursing homes and rebuilding homes and schools for community members in need. To this day, it is one of the largest events in the real estate industry.

Call Kate today for more information or to lend a hand! (905) 271-5151, or visit www.kw.com/redday

Seventh Annual Red Day on May 12, 2016

Keller Williams Realty Solutions is part of this community service initiative across the globe.

“There aren’t enough words to express our heartfelt thanks to you. You took care of us from day one just as you said you would. We were very intimidated about the thought of getting an agent and sell-ing our house after living in it for 26 years. The thought of it was overwhelming but you and your wonderful team held our hand every step of the way and delivered on EVERY promise you made to us. Your professionalism and your caring manner gave us confidence and helped us to remain focused, excited and calm. Thank you so much for everything....our family and friends certainly know of you now and we are going to make sure everyone we know, knows about the Kate Peterson Team. Thank you!!”
