Jeremy’s Take

Pricing remained relatively steady compared with last year, even as fewer homes changed hands.

For investors, I think that reinforces the importance of looking past the headline number. I’m much more interested in the individual property, the street, realistic rent, renovation or conversion potential, financing and whether the opportunity actually fits the strategy.

A slower market can create opportunities, but the property and the numbers still have to make sense.
