November 2009 - Posts
It has been a very busy week. It started off with a great client finding the perfect house which meant that they had to sell their current home. So we listed their home Monday night and by Thursday we had multiple offers. Things were going so fast I didn't even get a chance to blog about their home. To top it off several other clients have been looking and every time I make a list of 5 or 6 places to see, by the time I get the showings booked 2 will be sold conditionally and another is likely to have a registered offer.
There are still some very nice homes available and prices are still good, but buyers must be prepared to make quick decisions about whether a given house is the right home for them in order not to miss out.
As for sellers, this fall the real estate markets seem to be heating up as the weather cools off. So, don't worry about waiting until spring if you really want to move now. I think this year is going to beat most of the expectations from the real estate industries forcasters.
The Greater Toronto Area real estate markets are finishing off the year with a boom. September 2009 had 8,196 homes ( both freehold and condominium) through the Toronto Real Estate Board's (TREB's) MLS® system with an average sale price of $406,877.
In the Richmond Hill MLS® districts there were 225 detached homes sold out of 403 available homes with an average sale price, for the three districts, of $627,700. This is a huge jump up from last years 126 homes sold in the Richmond Hill districts and a mere 6,424 homes sold in the GTA in 2008.
Now is a great time to buy or sell a home in Richmond Hill, Aurora or anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area.
