When evaluating a property's value, how do you typically approach pricing research?

I rely mainly on my gut feeling or what the listing agent tells me I check a few similar listings online but don't dig too deep into the data I research comparable sales in the neighbourhood and compare key features I analyze comparable sales, market trends, economic indicators, and neighbourhood trajectory

How confident are you in predicting how interest rate changes will impact your buying power?

I haven't really thought about how interest rates affect home prices I know rates matter, but I'm not sure exactly how much they impact my budget I understand that rate increases reduce my purchasing power, but need clarity on the exact impact I know a 1% rate increase reduces purchasing power by 10-15%, and I factor this into my decisions

What's your strategy for identifying emerging neighbourhoods with strong growth potential?

I focus on established, well-known neighbourhoods because they feel safer I occasionally look at newer areas but don't have a systematic approach I monitor neighbourhood trends and watch for signs of improvement, but informally I actively track infrastructure development, migration patterns, and employment growth to spot opportunities early

How prepared are you to avoid costly mistakes when buying or selling property?

I'm not sure what mistakes to avoid—I'll figure it out as I go I know there are common pitfalls, but I haven't studied them in detail I'm aware of some mistakes like poor timing, but need a complete checklist I understand the major mistakes (comparable sales, repair costs, timing, neighbourhood trends, development) and actively avoid them
