BLANKA MICHALE REALTOR®,SRES, ASA
As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist ®, I help seniors navigate the sale of
their home by providing a patient, specialized, and compassionate one-stop service from start to finish.
Soft Home Sales in August Coupled with Strong Listing Activity
For the first time in a decade we saw August’s home sales slip under the 600-unit mark. Home sales were softer than normal last month, which is not surprising given the current borrowing environment.
WRAR’s president points out that while market-wide, inventory levels were up 7.6 per cent in August, this was mainly due to the Townhouse/Condo segment, where inventory increased by 35.3 per cent. The property type with the most supply in the market is the condo segment with 3.3 months supply, compared to 1.8 months supply in the detached home category.
“Right now, buyers may find it easier to get into a condominium, which can be a great choice for both first time buyers, and anyone looking for a lifestyle change.”
