It is now well into January 2010, and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are as excited as I am about the upcoming year. Certainly 2009 had it's ups and downs, but I hope the overall experience was a good one.
Given it is a new year, it is time to report on the end of year stats for 2009. I'm very pleased to say that we ended the year quite strong. According to information provided by the Barrie District Association of REALTORS®, home sales had increased in units by 56% over December 2008. Not only that, but units sold during the entirety of 2009 were up 7% from the previous year. Similarly, the dollar value from 2008 - 2009 experienced a 7% increase as well. Interestinly, however, is the fact that the average price for a home in the Barrie area remained unchanged in the last couple of years - approximately $264,000.
Given this good news and the conversations I've been having with clients and potential clients tells me that 2010 is going to be a banner year!
