Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Dear current home owners and Real Estate Agents,
Please stop selling our community to the GTA.
After spending the last year trying to find a house to buy in Windsor and losing countless times to buyers from the GTA I am more than frustrated and I'm sure many others are as well.
These GTA buyers put offers on homes in our community not because they're looking to build a future here, they're looking to build equity. They don't live in these homes, they rent them out or they stay vacant. And countless residents in your community, your neighbours, friends, and family are unable to afford to compete with these individuals and are therefore left with a home.
How many someone from the unemployment capital compete with someone from the GTA when purchasing a home? They can't.
So I ask you, when accepting offers from your homes, try to sell to someone who is interested in your house for a home for their future. Not someone who discovered how good our housing market is and decided to place unrealistic for Windsor offers on homes.
Now I do understand why they're doing it and why both the home owner and the realtor will accept these offers, they want to make more money, but in the long run with offers like this consistently buying out Windsor, you're hurting Windsor to make a buck more. Soon Windsor I'll be a community in which the people who live here won't own here. They'll be renting from people who don't even live in the same community.
