Real Estate Market Update - February 2010
Love is in the air, and so are strong home sales. The new year has started off on a high note with 87% more homes sold this January over last January, as reported by The Toronto Real Estate Board (“TREB”). Sale prices climbed 19% compared to January 2009. We are in a very healthy and normal market when you compare sale figures back over the years. We are not in a bubble that is about to burst as some reports had indicated. Active listings (the number of properties for sale) are down by 41%. So this is great for Sellers as they have less competition, and many homes are selling very quickly, for top price, and even with multiple offers. We do expect to see more listings come on the market in the spring, which is the peak time for new listings, so there will be more selection for Buyers to choose from. Interest rates are currently very low. I’ve notice an excellent 5 year term mortgage at 3.52% with one lender. If you are contemplating to sell or buy a home, now is the time to take advantage of the great market. I’m ready to go to work for you! Call or email Heather today.
