Property Listings expected to surge in 2025 as over 1 million mortgages come up for renewal

Homeowners in Canada may face challenges over the upcoming year when renewing their mortgages in 2025, particularly with higher interest rates on fixed mortgages than when they purchased. With this forecast in mind, homeowners need to be thinking about how to maintain the greatest equity in their home and ease the potential stress of these mortgage renewals.
A few factors to consider:

• How can you preserve the maximum equity if a residential home sale is necessary at the time of your mortgage renewal process?
• If property listings are expected to surge through 2025, what do you need to do to be competitive to ensure you can buy and sell with ease?

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal in 2025, ComFree is here to help, offering a service with zero commissions for buyers and sellers alike, while providing maximum exposure and a competitive home pricing advantage.

How ComFree Helps You Navigate the 2025 Housing Market

1. Higher-Quality Showings with Qualified Buyers: ComFree offers immersive 3D virtual tours that provide potential buyers with a more detailed, accurate view of the property. This helps reduce the number of “tire kickers” — casual browsers who aren’t serious about purchasing. With fewer low-quality showings, sellers are more likely to attract qualified buyers who are truly interested and financially able to make a purchase.
2. No Commission Fees — Save on Costs: One of the most significant benefits of ComFree is that there is no middleman, which means sellers don’t have to pay high real estate commission fees (typically around 5% in Canada) and buyers don’t need to pay increased asking prices. This saves both parties thousands of dollars, which can be especially helpful in a market where home pricing may need to be adjusted.
3. Maximum Exposure: ComFree MLS listings receive the same exposure as those listed with any full service brokerage. All ComFree properties are listed on the MLS®/Realtor.ca and comfree.com. This ensures sellers still reach the maximum audience and buyers know your home is on the market.
4. Discounted Legal Fees: ComFree offers discounted real estate legal fees through its partnerships across Canada. Buyers and sellers can expect to save between $500 and $1,200 in closing process legal fees, helping to reduce the overall cost of selling their home.
5. Streamlined Buying & Selling Process: ComFree provides the maximum benefits of a full service agent, but cuts outs the middleman, making the real estate transaction process simple and easy! From MLS listing to closing, homeowners have come to rely on ComFree to offer all the tools and support needed.

If you are looking to sell in the upcoming month, ComFree allows you to save thousands which increases your home buying power AND increases your competitive advantage if the prediction of increased property listings in 2025 rings true.
