Summary
Thinking about buying, selling, or moving to Prince Edward Island? Then this episode is required listening. In this jam-packed conversation, we dig into real, current PEI real estate issues that buyers, sellers, and even agents keep getting wrong—and we don’t sugar-coat a thing. 🏡🔥 We start with November real estate stats , breaking down what’s actually happening on the ground versus the stories people want to believe. From there, we tackle the ever-controversial Confederation Bridge and ferry tolls —what’s changing, what it costs, and why it matters if you live on (or plan to move to) the Island. 🌉⛴️ Then comes a full rant (deservedly so) on off-market listings —why they’re usually overpriced, poorly thought out, and driven by unmotivated sellers chasing fantasy numbers. Buyers think they’ve found a secret deal… spoiler alert: they haven’t. We also explain why real-time CMAs matter more than ever. We dig into another classic PEI problem: properties with no deeded access . If you’re not reading surveys, deeds, and mapping tools properly, congratulations—you’re buying a headache. 🗺️🚫 You’ll also get a clear, plain-English explanation of what a share sale is , why it exists, and when it can seriously complicate a real estate transaction. For anyone moving to PEI, we talk about renting before you buy —how to avoid scams, why talking to agents matters, and why “send a deposit first” should be a hard no. 🛑 We also smash a big myth: money spent on renovations does NOT equal market value . The market doesn’t care what you spent—only what buyers will pay. Clean and paint still win. Every time. 🎨 Finally, we unpack a bizarre new trend involving backup offers —including why asking “what’s the lowest number the seller will take” completely misses the point. Connect with Michael:…
