Edmonton’s slower market activity matches national trend

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

Edmonton, September 5, 2012: Residential property sales in August slowed both month-to-month and year-to-year, mirroring a trend that has evolved nationally all summer. Sales of all types of residential properties in August (1,430) were down 17.4% from July and down 10.7% from a year ago. The number of people offering their properties for sale also slowed but not as sharply as sales. There were 2,732 residential properties listed on the Multiple Listing Service® in August; down 2.2% from a month ago and down just 5.6% from a year ago. The available inventory was reduced 2.9% to 7,458 properties.

“Housing sales across Canada have dropped slightly since May,” said REALTORS® Association of Edmonton President Doug Singleton. “The sales activity varies from market to market and it appears, when compared to last year that Edmonton is slowing faster than the national trend after a very active spring. Never-the-less, housing prices are still up from a year ago and consumer confidence is high.”

Despite the slowdown in sales, prices were up as compared to August 2011. The average* selling price of a single family detached home (SFD) was down marginally (-0.15%) at $384,477 from last month but up 3.8% from a year ago. Condo prices were also down marginally (-0.9%) from last month at $237,042 but up from last year. The all residential average price was $334,395 (down 0.5% m/m) which is up 3.2% from August 2011.

Average prices are affected by the difference in price of similar properties as well as the market composition or mix of homes sold. Compared to a year ago, a typical bungalow in August sold for 2.2% more while a typical 2-story home sold for about 3.2% more. While the price of an individual home was rising, the market composition was also changing. In August 2012, 53% of SFDs sold were priced below $375,000 as compared to 59% in 2011. In addition, the number of sales of homes over $500,000 was up from 11% in 2011 to almost 15% this year.

“August sales illustrate the changes in the composition of the market,” said Singleton. “More consumers are purchasing homes at the higher end of the market. This is an indicator of consumer confidence and a long term view that this market is stable. ”

The average days-on-market in August was up two at 54 days. The sales-to-listing ratio was down, moving down from 62.0% in July to 52.3%.

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!!!

Housing sales and prices stable at the end of the first quarter – REALTORS®

Edmonton, April 2, 2012: At the end of the first quarter, the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton reports that the average residential price in the Edmonton area is up 2.2% when compared to a year ago. The all-residential average1 price, at $335,187 compared to $328,094 in March of last year. Single family detached (SFD) and condominium average prices were stable year-over-year with SFD prices up 0.2% and condos down 0.7%.

“Other markets, such as Toronto, are reporting feverish real estate activity involving multiple offers and unconditional offers but our market is calm, orderly and slowly evolving,” said REALTORS® Association of Edmonton President Doug Singleton. “Listing activity is up when compared to last year but sales and inventory are down which could indicate that market activity will pick up markedly as the summer progresses.”

On the Multiple Listing Service® System, sales and listings by REALTORS® in March were up, with 3,271 residential listings (up 23.5% from February) and sales of 1,533 (up 24.5% from the previous month). As a result, the inventory of residential properties available for sale was up 14.6% at 6,851 properties. At the current sales level, there are four and half months of inventory available. In total, there are 10,640 properties of all types (commercial, rural and residential) on the Edmonton and Area Multiple Listing Service®.

Market stability is reflected in the sales-to-listing ratio which is unchanged from month-to-month. The average days-on-market dropped in March by one day from 54 to 53 and residential properties are selling at about the same pace as this time last year on a year-to-date basis (46%).

In March, the average price of a single family detached home was $380,083, up 1.3% from the previous month. The average price of a condominium in March was $231,629, down 1.4% from the February price (last month the price of condos advanced over 8% in a month). Duplex and rowhouse properties sold on average for $319,020; a 4.1% improvement from the previous month.

“April is the start of the real estate season when people who want to buy and sell real estate are most active,” said Singleton. “There is speculation that mortgage rates will start to rise which makes it more difficult for first time buyers. However, there is lots of choice in our market with new properties coming available daily. Whatever your housing situation you can trust the advice of your local REALTOR® who is here when life happens.”
