January 2010 Stats

According to the Barrie and District Association of REALTORS®, January has been another great month for sales. The number of sales in the Barrie region have risen 62%, while the total number of properties have risen 67% compared to January 2009. Even though these numbers have risen greatly, the average price has only increased 4% from last year at the same time to $270,340. To view all the stats, click here.

November stats & Happy Holidays!

Well, it has been another wonderful month in the world of local real estate.  According to the Barrie and District Association of REALTORS®, the number of residential sales in November has more than doubled that of November 2009.  That is amazing!  It was last fall, if you remember, when news of the economic crisis began.  Similarly, the prices have been going up from last year.  This November marked $86.9 million in home sales, which is up 110% from levels a year ago.  In contrast, new residential listings in November was down 5% from November last year.  Similarly, the number of active listings available for sale in November 2009 decreased significantly from 2008 during the same time period.  I believe that given the economic status during the past year, many home owners have been more conservative regarding selling their homes.  This not a bad thing, as it allows more homes that are listed to sell rather than become "expired" listings. This is also a factor in helping the market become more balanced. Again, to read the full article, as well as others about housing and the economy, click here.

Given the holidays are soon approaching, childern will be home from school and many parents will be home from work.  If wondering how to spend what ever free time that there may be, there is a wonderful site at the Barrie Public Library, where you can find everything that is going on in the community.  For that calendar, click here.

In the meantime, in case I don't write again next week, I hope you all have a wonderfully warm and happy holiday season, filled with much love and laughter!

Barrie Stats and More...

It's been a while since I've posted... Busy couple of weeks. To improve my service to my clients, I've recently hired a non-licensed assistant/client care manager, named Terri Tracey. She has had a great deal of experience working in an office setting, and dealing with the public. Terri and I look forward to working together to continue to bring high quality service to all of our clients.

In addition to that, last week, I attended the Real Estate Update course. As REALTORS®, we take this course every two years to make sure that we are all staying current on what is happening in our industry. Not only is it informative, it is a great way to touch base with other REALTORS® in the community, with whom I work on a daily basis. One thing I really enjoy about working in Simcoe County, is that it is a fairly small community (as compared to the GTA). We get to work with great colleagues from all of the different offices around the area.

Then, on Friday, I attended another seminar, to again further my knowledge in building systems into the way I work. By having outlined systems, we are then able to ensure that every step is taken care of for each client - nothing gets missed. By doing this, I'm then able to concentrate on each client's unique needs.

That, along with client matters has kept me very busy.

In relation to actual Real Estate news, I'm VERY pleased to have recently read the October 2009 Statistics from the Barrie and District Association of REALTORS®. This past October marked the highest level of sales on record for the area served by our Board. The sales activity jumped 39% from last October, in addition to being the 5th consecutive increase from previous year's levels. This is great news for those who want to make a move, and great news for our economy!
