What is the most common advice that agents give their clients in December and also what you should really know if you're thinking of selling your house in December but first, what happened in the Winnipeg Real Estate Market in November. In November in Winnipeg, we saw sales stay almost exactly the same over last year up .5 % and prices up a staggering 12%. In condos, we saw sales down 10.6% and prices up 7.7%. As you can see the market and Winnipeg continues to be strong because of lack of supply of houses we're seeing that really good increase in overall pricing and this is expected to continue into 2025. Now what most agents tell their clients in December is to take their houses off the market and bring them back in January where they can get a new MLS number, a 2025 MLS number, so it looks fresh to market. Now the only problem with that is that Real Estate is and always has been about supply and demand meaning that as houses come off the market there's less supply which means there's greater demand. It's really not quite as simple as that and that's why you have to work closely with your Realtor to ensure that you are going to market at the right time and the right price.
