Summer Is Almost Here and Good Real Estate News
A week ago in the Toronto Star, Tony Wong wrote: "REAL ESTATE VIRGINS BUY IN". What does that mean? That means, first time home buyers are finally taking advantage of the low interest rates and great prices for homes. Of course the economy is on everyone's mind right now, but lower prices and low interest rates are luring them into the purchase of a home.
Also, the first time homebuyer's tax credit and home renovation tax credit for 2009 have been influential factors. First time buyers are key to the market because they allow move-up buyers to sell their homes while continuing up the housing chain to more expensive properties.
I have noticed quite a decrease in listings coming on the market, which makes me think that we could possibly be entering a seller's market. There have been more and more multiple offer situations being reported by my colleagues. The prices don't seem to be going up, a little bit but not a lot, and that doesn't seem to deter any buyers from at least looking. I try to do open houses every weekend, and in the last few weeks, in certain areas, I am averaging about 12 families coming through the open house in a period of 2 hours. They are ready to buy but the house may not suit their needs.
Now we're seeing that builders are beginning to plan future sites and projects which brings hope to the home resale market.
BMO Capital Markets Economist Robert Kavcic has been quoted as saying, " with the Canadian economy poised to begin the recovery process by this fall, the worst of the residential construction recession might be behind us."
