Real Estate Observations for Summer 2010

A hot and sultry summer at last.  

Our market place has continued to be very active since the Spring. The implementation of the HST, which took effect on July 1, 2010, seemed to precipitate a flurry of activity as buyers wanted transactions completed prior to this date. Perplexing, in that the HST is applicable on services and goods, but not (for the most part) resale real estate. This activity began in April and continued into June as our stronger 2010 Q2 over 2009 Q2 resulted in a 12.7% increase in unit sales. The dollar sales volume also increased in 2010 Q2 over the previous period last year by 29.45%. This can be attributed to a larger number of properties trading above $300,000. For example, as of June of 2009 54 properties in the 300k to 349k range changed hands; for the same period and price category in 2010, 100 properties were sold. The 400k to 600k price category saw close to double the amount of properties sold in Q2 2010 over the same period in 2009. Indeed, looking at the broader picture between 500k and the Million Dollar range 138% more sales were recorded in Q2 2010.
