There are many factors at play, including how many other similar properties are currently for sale, whether or not those properties are appropriately priced, how many buyers are looking for a property in that price range, and even how the Toronto real estate market is performing. It&#8217;s important to work with an experienced brokerage that understands not just the local real estate market, but how it is impacted by these factors and how to translate them into the right price at which to list your property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s still a demand to be in Muskoka,\u201d says John Aben, broker at Aben Team, \u201cbut buyers are being more cautious. We\u2019ve got political turmoil, a Toronto market that isn\u2019t performing as well as it did last year which affects a buyer\u2019s comfort level for price points, and some sellers who are caught up in last year\u2019s inflation\u2014particularly in the Toronto market\u2014which translates to higher and sometimes unreasonable expectations for the price they can list their Muskoka property for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What that means for you: your property has to be priced right.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55586\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-cottage-price.001-1024x767.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-cottage-price.001-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-cottage-price.001-1024x767.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-cottage-price.001.jpeg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55587\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-residential-price.002-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-residential-price.002-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-residential-price.002-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-avg-residential-price.002.jpeg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55588\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-cottage-unit-sales-001-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-cottage-unit-sales-001-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-cottage-unit-sales-001-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-cottage-unit-sales-001.jpeg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55589\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-residential-unit-sales-002-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-residential-unit-sales-002-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-residential-unit-sales-002-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/09\/2018-residential-unit-sales-002.jpeg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPriced appropriately, a property will sell quickly,\u201d adds broker Mark Aben with a snap of his fingers. \u201cWe\u2019ve had multiple offers recently on both residential and cottage properties.
