As I wrote here earlier this month,
sales in each of the last six months in the Woodstock area for real estate have
surpassed the same month from the previous year.
The official press release of the WIDREB
(Woodstock-Ingersoll District) board noted that September of 2013 had the best
sales results compared to any September on record. That in-itself is astounding.
Board president William Cattle, who is
also a Royal LePage Triland rep like myself, noted in an early October press
release: “A total of 977 homes have traded hands so far this year. That’s
running 19 per cent ahead of the same period in 2012, and marks the strongest
first nine months of any year since 2007.”
Locally, we have many reasons for strong
sales, including Toyota adding employees and removing the ‘probation’ tag from
the status of many there, plus new employment with new companies, and expansion of existing
companies.
However, the bottom line is on-going
attractive interest rates will gradually and eventually do lead all younger
demographic buyers into the market.
A story in a recent edition of The
Toronto Star noted some incredible totals in major centres such as
Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and of course Toronto as trends that continue to
propel upward numbers in nationwide stats.
I talked this weekend to a local
bricklayer, whom I’ve known since I was about 10, (Bill must be getting really
old), and he agreed that the new housing market in Woodstock continues to be
brisk and houses are selling as quickly as they are getting built (by many local
builders), so there isn’t a lot of inventory of new unsold houses.
If you still plan on buying in 2013,
there are many good homes available in all price ranges and all ages.
Call me today. And let’s get to work
