February flipped January completely. Condos carried the month with five sales. Freehold nearly froze at two. If you own a freehold home in the Preserve, that matters.

Buyers are out there. They're booking showings, reviewing comparables, and doing homework on your neighbourhood. But they're not stretching. Two freehold sales from 23 new listings tells you exactly how narrow the window is between what buyers will pay and what most sellers are asking. That gap hasn't closed. February made it clearer.

The two freehold homes that did sell closed in under two weeks. Speed like that doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the price removed any reason to hesitate. Everything else that came on sat. If your home hits the market and buyers pause, they're not coming back. They have too many other options to consider.

Condos moved, but sellers waited nearly two months for it. Buyers knew they had leverage and used it. If you're a condo owner thinking about selling, pricing for where you think the market should be adds weeks. Pricing for where buyers actually are is what gets it done.

Spring typically brings more new listings starting mid-March. If you're planning to sell, every week from here adds competition. That doesn't mean rush. It means your pricing needs to be right before you list, not corrected after you've been sitting. Price reductions after listing signal desperation to the same buyers you're trying to attract.

The pattern from January repeated. Buyers are active, informed, and patient. They'll move when the number makes sense. Not before. If you're considering selling in the Preserve, the question isn't whether buyers exist. It's whether your price gives them a reason to act.
