This way, I'm able to deliver such outstanding results that you'll look forward to working with me again and think of me when your friends and family need a caring and competent realtor. Just call me for my list of testimonials from satisfied clients. My FREE Reports, Helpful Tips, Calculators and Home Improvement Guide are invaluable. Call or email me for the latest information on Land Transfer Taxes, or for important information on Seller Representation and Buyer Representation. For example, as a buyer, you may believe that because an agent is showing you homes, your information remains confidential but that is not necessarily the case. Please call or email me for details. If you're planning on selling your home, I can clarify the various types of representation. For example, if your listing agent brings you an offer from a buyer, who is she or he working for? I can recommend businesses associated with real estate to help you prepare your home such as window cleaners, plumbers, electricians, house cleaners, landscapers, gardeners, roofers, carpet cleaners, air conditioning and furnace specialists, window installation, hardwood specialists and garbage removal, to name a few. Also, if you have unwanted furniture, I can recommend a womens' shelter that would appreciate any donations you might have and they will pick it up! A client has just told me about an organization in the Bloor/Dovercourt area called Sistering which takes used clothes. She mentioned that Women's College Hospital sells second hand books to funddraise for their causes! Here's some new GTA real estate statistics: July 6, 2009 -- In June 2009, Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported a record 10,955 sales, up 27 per cent from June 2008. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales in June was 100,700.1
“The record result in June is testament to the fundamentally sound housing market in the GTA,” said TREB President Tom Lebour. “An increasing number of households have been confident in purchasing a home in the region’s affordable and diverse resale housing market.” The average price for June transactions was $403,972 – up by two per cent compared to the same month last year. “The re-emergence of seller’s market conditions has exerted upward pressure on home prices,” explained Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “Look for sales to remain high relative to listings in the second half of the year. This will keep home prices growing.”
1Seasonally adjusting TREB MLS® data removes recurring seasonal trends observed each year. For example, MLS® sales are highest in late spring each year and lowest in the winter months. Removing the recurring seasonality, allows for the analysis of a meaningful trend reflecting actual changes in market conditions. By multiplying the monthly seasonally-adjusted figure by 12, creating an annual rate, we can compare how the current month relates to historical annual figures. | | |
