(November 5, 2007 - Hamilton, Ontario) The Hamilton-Burlington area real estate market reported a total of 1,281 unit sales in October, indicating an increase of 9.6 per cent over the same period last year. The total unit sales for the first 10 months of 2007 are six per cent higher than the same period, while units listed are 3.6 per cent higher for the year-to-date, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).

"Sales rebounded in October, from the temporary lull we saw in September, posting a record 1,230 residential sales for the month," said RAHB President, Mike Cusano. "The market tightened up in October, and we saw a shift back to a sellers' market. With the Bank of Canada holding interest rates steady this fall, there's no question that home ownership is viewed by the consumer as a solid long term investment."

Residential properties sold during October totalled 1,230, the best October on record, which included 985 freehold properties and 245 condominiums. Commercial sales for October, including industrial, farm, vacant land and business, totalled 51 units.

The average price of freehold residential properties sold during the month of October was $294,625. The average sale price reflects the dollar volume of residential sales divided by the number of total residential units sold. In the condominium market, the average price in October was $212,066.

The average price increase for residential properties for 2007 from January to October compared to the previous year is 7.6 per cent.

October's total residential average sales price increased 10 per cent over the same month in 2006.

The total number of units listed for sale in October was 1,700, which is 7.9 per cent greater over the same month last year.

"The activity we have seen so far this season shows that consumers continue to have a great deal of confidence in the housing market," added Cusano. "And, the Hamilton-Burlington area, with its affordability, selection and close proximity to both Toronto and the U.S., is increasingly becoming the location of choice to own a home."

Unit sales reflect "all property types" including residential, condominiums, commercial property, farms, vacant land and sale of businesses.

How long you plan to live in the home.
If you purchase a home and get a job transfer or decide to move after only a short time, you may end up paying money in order to sell it. The value of your home may not have appreciated enough to cover the costs that you paid to buy the home and the costs that it would take you to sell your home.

The length of time that it will take to cover those costs depends on various economic factors in the area of the home. Most parts of the country have an average of 5% appreciation per year. In this case, you should plan to stay in your home at least 3-4 years to cover buying and selling costs. If the area you buy your home in experiences an economic up turn, the length of the time to cover these costs could be shortened, and the opposite is also true.

– Average house price expected to increase by 9.2 % this year –

TORONTO, July 5, 2006 – Canada’s housing market continued to make advances from coast to coast in the second quarter. The pace of growth varied greatly by region, with activity levels and price increases in the Western provinces far outpacing that in the rest of the country. Compared to the same period last year, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada maintained similar high sales volumes, with moderate price increases, while extraordinary demand and limited inventory drove double digit price increases in the west, according to a report released today by Royal LePage Real Estate Services.

Of the housing types surveyed, the highest average price appreciation occurred in detached bungalows, which rose to $292,237 (+15.6%) year-over-year, followed by standard condominiums, which rose to $208,403 (+14.2%), and standard two-storey properties, which increased to $351,367 (+13.3%).

Echoing the growth and activity of Canada’s market to date, the national average house price is forecast to rise by 9.2 per cent year-over-year to $272,200 by the end of 2006, while transactions are projected to rise marginally to 485,000 unit sales, up by 0.4 per cent from 483,250 unit sales last year.

The continued strength of Canada’s economy, coupled with strong consumer confidence and rising but moderate interest rates continued to drive robust demand for housing across the country. The supply of homes for sale met requirements in most regions, with the exception of the Western provinces, and especially Alberta, where sellers’ market conditions prevailed.

“Interest and activity in the residential real estate market continued unabated in the second quarter, with record or near record sales volumes experienced throughout the country. The process of buying or selling a home across most of Canada has become easier, as supply has been able to keep up with demand and price increases have been modest,” said Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services. “The story in the west, and particularly in Alberta, is quite different, with extraordinary demand levels far surpassing available inventory. The result has been some of the highest year-over-year price increases that have been experienced in any region of this country in decades. This pattern will likely continue for the remainder of the year.”

While prices appreciated in all major cities, the provinces displayed substantial regional variances. Insufficient supply characterized the markets in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, while the central and eastern provinces saw more modest growth despite robust demand. As the typically active spring market begins to simmer, a slight increase in inventory is expected across all markets, satiating buyers’ demand.

Alberta’s thriving economy has positioned Calgary and Edmonton as the national leaders in price appreciation in all surveyed housing types. Demand in Alberta has been fuelled by the confidence buyers have in the economy, as they are able to spend more on a home than ever before due to significant income increases and the equity they have developed in their homes.

In Ottawa and Toronto, growth in the housing markets remained stable, as increased inventory levels helped to moderate the rate of price appreciation. In Atlantic Canada, inventory increases resulted in a slower rate of price appreciation when compared with 2005.

In some markets, particularly in Western Canada, high house prices and lack of product priced some buyers out of the market, leading them to explore less established areas, or reconsider their housing type. The rising mortgage rates are regarded as having little to no effect on buyers entering the market.

Added Soper: “Canadians are currently more optimistic about their financial future than are their American counterparts, and for good reason. Current economic forecasts for the balance of this year and into next remain positive. We are unlikely to see the kind of housing market corrections that have begun to occur in isolated regions south of the border in our country. The midterm outlook for the Canadian housing market remains very positive.”

(June 5, 2007 – Hamilton, Ontario) The Hamilton-Burlington area resale real estate market reported a total of 1,598 unit sales in May, indicating an increase of nearly 11 per cent over the same period last year. The total unit sales for the first five months of 2007 are being reported almost two per cent higher over the same period last year, while new units listed are six per cent higher for the year-to-date, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).

“Sales activity continues to run high with consumers recognizing the value of home ownership and property investment balanced against the likelihood of future increases to interest rates,” said Mike Cusano, RAHB President. “Sales activity remained strong in our area in the first quarter of 2007 and the momentum is continuing into the second quarter as well.”

Residential properties sold during May totalled 1,529, which included 1,239 non-condominiums and 290 condominiums. Commercial sales for May, including industrial, farm, vacant land and business, totalled 69 units.

The average price of non-condominium residential properties sold for the month of May was $298,372. The average sale price reflects the dollar volume of residential sales divided by the number of total residential units sold. This is an increase of more than 10 per cent over the same month in 2006.

In the condominium market, the average price of condominiums in May was $198,848, showing an increase of over three per cent from May 2006.

The total number of current units listed for sale during May was 2,322, which is 17 per cent greater than the same period last year.

“Consumers are continuing to show their confidence in the resale housing market,” said Cusano. “Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases most people will ever make; using the professional services of a REALTOR® provides consumers with the expertise and information they need to make the right decisions when purchasing a home.

Unit sales reflect “all property types” including residential, condominiums, commercial property, farmland and sale of businesses.
