Consumer confidence results in higher unit sales in July

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Edmonton, August 2, 2012: The average* price of resale residential property softened in July according to figures released by the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton today. The all-residential average price dropped from $342,014 in June to $335,501 in July (down 1.9%). The average single family detached price in the service area of the Edmonton Multiple Listing Service® was down 2.3%, the average condominium price was down 2.1% and the duplex/row house price was off 3.25%.

“Housing prices continue to follow seasonal patterns but residential unit sales are 3.6% higher than last July,” said REALTORS® Association of Edmonton President Doug Singleton. “That being said, the price drops are minimal and still about 5% higher than they were at the beginning of the year.”

There were 2,801 residential properties listed in July with 1,624 sales and the average days-on-market was up one at 52 days. The sales-to-listing ratio was stable, moving slightly from 58.4% in June to 58.0%. Eager first-time buyers are snapping up homes listed below the median price of $325,000 and reducing the inventory of lower-priced homes. A steady stream of new listings helped the residential inventory remain solid with 7,684 properties available, especially at the higher-priced end of the market.

The number of single family homes sold in the $450,000 or higher range is up about 26% in 2012 as compared to the past five years. This trend is expected to continue for the rest of the year. Homes in this range also sold faster this year than in previous years. Days-on-market was the lowest it has been in five years at just 40 days in 2012 and the spread between the list and sold prices was lower at 2.3%.

“Persistent low mortgage rates, job stability and higher average incomes in Edmonton result in consumer confidence which has opened up the higher end of the market,” said Singleton. “Many of these sellers are moving up and do not want to carry two properties. They need to sell so that they can close on the new property; so they are doing all they can to ensure a reasonable but quicker sale. The increased inventory at the higher end is creating some pressure on sellers to keep their list prices reasonable. Once again, consumer confidence and access to low cost financing is driving the upper end of the market even while providing buying opportunities for first-time buyers.”

There have been 64 sales of properties over $1 million so far this year as compared to 66 in all of 2011. Those top end properties sometimes take over a year to sell but the average DOM is just 72 days; down from 78 last year.

Путь к продаже вашего дома лежит через кухню

Путь к продаже вашего дома лежит через Кухню

Продавцы
понимают, что путь к сердцу потенциального покупателя лежит через кухню. За многие
годы, кухня стала тем самым местом, где за большим столом собирается вся семья,
где готовится завтраки обеды и ужины, где собираются друзья и конечно же где
дети делают свое домашнее задание. Таким
образом,  одним из самых многомерных и
функциональных комнат в доме является кухня.

Её ремонт и привлекает внимание многих
покупателей, которые хотят увеличить стоимость перепродажи  дома в будущем, или просто улучшить свои
условия и уют в доме.

Хотя,
надо сказать, что продавцы чаще не хотят связывать себя в дополнительным
расходом и вложением времени перед продажей дома. Согласгл проведенным
исследованиям, ремонт кухни приносит 75-100% возврата на вложенные деньги, т.е.
второй после ремонта ванной.

К счастью. Ремонт дома не такой уж сложный проект как некоторым может показаться.
С увеличением центров «сделай сам» можно экономически эффективным способом
увеличить стоимость вашего дома без высоких цен на квалифицированного
специалиста.

Вот несколько шагов, которые вы можете предпринять.

По
Rona.ca, кухонные шкафы являются одной из лучших инвестиций, которые можно
сделать в доме. Для многих покупателей недвижимости первые впечатления происходят
на кухне. Потратив чуть больше на качественныекухонные шкафы и  ручки для них, можно ожидать, что ваши
инвестиции в вознаградят вас сторицей.

Покрасив стены и шкафы на кухне, в случае еслы вы не собираетесь их менять,
можно изменить внешний вид кухни с минимальными затратами и сделать комнату
более просторной.

Светильники и люстры часто являются одними из последних вариантов улучшения на
кухне, но часто про них забывают, когда кухня отремонтирована. За счет
добавления новых источников света на кухне, можно объединить архитектурный и
декоративный баланс в комнате. Хорошим освещением можно выделить некоторые
особенности кухни, такие как Backsplash или рабочую стенку сделаную камнем или
мозаикой, чтобы создать более яркий и привлекательный вид.

Каждой кухне нужна раковина и смеситель. Но когда речь идет о перепродаже дома,
только некоторые из  продавцов  видят ценность в замене раковины. Кран и
раковина является одним из наиболее важных особенностей кухни. Когда покупатели
входят в комнату, они, естественно тяготеют к раковине и проверяют краны.Это
дает чувство домашнего очага, особенно потому, что они тратят большую часть
своего времени на кухне.

И напоследок, статистика по Эдмонтону и
прилежащих районах:

В Апреле 2012 года вышло на рынок 3253
резидентских листинга. Из них продалось 1713. Это значит, что продается 53%
домов.

Среднее количество дней на маркете
составило 50.

С акрейджами и вне городскими продажами
чуть сложнее – выставлено было 648 участков с домами, продалось только 165 –
т.е. 25%. Среднее количество дней составило 82.

Самыми популярными районами в Эдмонтоне
стали северо-центральный со 153 продажами и ср ценой $347,645, Юго-восток
города – 134  продажи со ср ценой $357,040
и юго-западный со 117 продажами и ср ценой $521,778

На конец апреля активных листингов по
эдмонтону и районам – 7,334. Если в среднем продается с среднем 1800 домов в
месяц, то инвентории у нас сейчас предостаточно на следущие 4 месяца.
Покупатели, у вас все еще есть большой выбор!

Если у вас есть вопросы – пишите,
звоните, я всегда отвечу.
Удачных сделок!!!

News release: May 2012

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

Edmonton, May 2, 2012: According to figures released by the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton, there is a sea of calm in the local real estate market. Residential sales through the Multiple Listing Service® System in April were up 5.3% from the same month last year but below average for April. There were 1,713 residential sales in April as compared to the 5-year average of 1,940 sales. There were 7,334 residential properties available in inventory at the end of April which is up 7% from last month.

“There is plenty of choice in the market at this time,” said REALTORS® Association of Edmonton President Doug Singleton. “Single family prices have risen slightly each month this year which is encouraging sellers to list their property.” He urged home buyers to remain calm, to confirm their financing arrangements and to study the market with their REALTOR®. “Of course, when your REALTOR® shows you the ideal home you should move decisively to make an offer and begin the home buying process in case another buyer is also interested.”

In April, the average1 residential price was up just 0.8% from last month at $337,363. The average price of a single family detached home was $382,384, up 0.9% from the previous month. The average price of a condominium in April was $235,036, up 1.3% from March. Duplex and rowhouse properties sold on average for $329,025; a 3.6% rise from the previous month. Residential prices were also up when compared to a year ago:

  • Single family up 0.4%
  • Condominium up 1.1%
  • Duplex/Row house up 8.9%
  • All residential up 2.99%

The average days-on-market in April was 50 days (down three from March) and the sales-to-listing ratio was 53% (up 2% from last month); both indicators reflecting increased market activity. REALTORS® participated in the sale of $578 million worth of residential property last month and total MLS® activity for the year is $1.5 billion (up 15% from 2011 YTD).

“If a change in your lifestyle requires a change of address, then this a great market to be in,” said Singleton. “Choice of neighbourhoods, variety of housing types and stable pricing may not be available in every market but they are features here in the Edmonton area.”
