Ninth month brings hot real estate sales to K-W

September numbers locally lower than 2013, but much better than 2011 and 2012
By Mark Schadenberg

In the K-W area, real estate sales for the ninth month of the year would have Realtors on Cloud Nine.
In Burlington, some Realtors are likely dancing in the street (See links to stories below).
Interest rates are low and homes continue to sell in every geographical jurisdiction of southern Ontario. The cost to borrow is very affordable currently.
In our Woodstock-Ingersoll area (WIDREB), no records were set and even though the final number was only 4 fewer sales than 2013, this year's total topped 2012, 2011 and 2010. September of 2014 featured 123 total sales with an average price of $248,445. September of 2013 included 127 sales, but a lower average of $239,931.
As the cost of new construction rises, sale prices have increased. As the number of new residents to Woodstock increase, prices increase as demand outreaches supply. The cost of land is rising too. Good news and more good news, especially if you are selling !
