Real Estate Sales for November

We’re nearing the end of 2010 and, so far, the real estate market has remained stable since the second half of the year.

 

Let’s take a look on how the market looked for the month of November:

• Similar to previous months, residential property sales in November remained below those of previous years. Although, comparing November 2009 to this year, the decline was not as steep as it has been in previous months. The number of sold residential properties was 17 percent below that of last year.
• The MLS® System of the Barrie & District Association of REALTORS® Inc. recorded that over the past 11 months the average sale price for homes is 7 percent more than during the same period in 2009.
• According to the President of Barrie and District Association of REALTORS®, Catherine Garbe, the market currently continues to stabilize and real estate sales continue to show signs of stabilizing at more normal and sustainable levels.
• New listings in November 2010 were up 5 percent as compared to last year. On a year-over-year basis the number of active residential listings on the MLS® System at the end of November was up 9 percent.

We are currently seeing the market continue to stabilize. Let’s wait for the statistics in December to conclude the residential property sales activity for the year 2010.

Until next time,

New Listings!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have last written. As Terri, my Client Care Manager can tell you, I have often thought about writing. Even at this moment, I have about 20 tabs on my internet open with interesting Real Estate news to write about, but unfortunately, my time has been limited.

Here are a couple of new listings that people you know might be interested in:

1) 698 Rose, Innisfil, ON for $209,900
Click here for virtual tour

2) 9 Lawrence, Anten Mills, ON for $369,000
Click here for virtual tour

Both houses have TONS to offer those who are buying.

On top of that, I have recently recruited 2 wonderful REALTORS® to work with me on my team. More news on that shortly.

As for the other interesting Real Estate news, I'll leave for another day...

Many of you are currently experiencing a phenomenal heat wave. For you, I hope you are able to stay cool, both physically as well as temperamentally :-)

Until next time,
Jamie
