SALES UP 19% IN THE DURHAM REGION
The Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) reported 417 sales in the first half of August ’09, an increase of 19% from the 349 sales reported mid-month in August ’08.
“The average selling price climbed 3% ($281,223) from the $272,788 recorded at the same time last year,” said Debbie Dawson, 2009 DRAR President. “As we start the third-quarter Durham Region’s housing market is booming. With a 35% (1,929) decrease in inventory from the reported 2,972 active listings on market in August ’08 and steady average selling prices, the market which was favorable to the buyer is now opening its doors in favour of the seller.”
Já estão acontecendo “multiple offers” e com isso os preços ficam mais altos. Há menos imóveis à venda no mercado do que compradores e isso faz com que haja uma “guerrinha” para ver quem leva o imóvel. Quem fica feliz é quem está vendendo pois é garantia de conseguir até mais do que ele havia pedido, muito diferente de meses atrás. Pois é, o mercado está voltando à normalidade.
