What it means

While we saw a slight break in the market over the summer months.  The demand continues to exceed the amount of properties that are available to purchase.

Which community had the biggest price increase over the past year?

WESTPORT! Cottage country had the largest price increase of 2021 at 40%!

  • Metcalfe 27%

In terms of affordability the downtown core had the smallest price increase over the 2021 year. This could be due to remote working, the desire for more space, larger yards or that the core has always been in demand.

  • Downtown Core 12%

What to expect in this month?

The number of sales in January is usually slightly above or close to the number of sales in December

The number of new properties that are listed will start to increase each month as we look forward to the Spring market.

Big banks and mortgage brokers are still indicating that the interests will continue to climb throughout the 2022 year.

If you are thinking about selling, it’s a good time for us to start your preparations and put together a rock solid marketing plan.

If you are thinking about buying, have your mortgage approval in hand and get ready for right house to become available.   With many buyers focused on virtual learning over the next month, it will most likely be the ideal time to find your home with the least amount of competition.

Whether you are buying, selling or both I’ve got the strategies and plans for you…all you have to do is reach out 😉

I’m here to help!
