Last month marks best September on record
(October 5, 2009 - Hamilton, Ontario) The Hamilton-Burlington area resale market reported a total of 1,216 units sold in September, indicating an increase of 20 per cent over the same month last year. The total unit sales for the first three quarters of 2009 are being reported at 2.6 per cent lower for the same period last year, while new units listed are 8.8 per cent lower for the year-to-date, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
"The third quarter of 2009 saw the most number of sales during that period since 2005," said Bruce King, RAHB President. "The September numbers continued the positive trend set in July, with sales and average price up, year over year. It also marked the most properties sold in the month of September, ever."
Residential properties sold during September totalled 1,162 which included 916 freehold properties and 246 condominiums. Commercial sales for September, including industrial, farm, vacant land and business, totalled 54 units.
The average price of freehold residential properties sold in the month of September was $324,868, an increase of six per cent over September last year. 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 of condominiums in September was $229,462, an increase of 7.8 per cent over September 2008.
The total number of units listed for sale during September was 1,761, which is 3.9 per cent fewer than were listed in the same period in 2008, but 18 per cent more than were listed in August.
"As interest rates stay low and the economy begins to recover, I expect we will see continued stability in local property ownership, both as a life style choice and as a solid investment," added King. "The Hamilton-Burlington area real estate market is one of the healthiest in the country, and was last week rated the second-best place in Ontario to buy a house or invest in commercial property by the Real Estate Investment Network."
Unit sales reflect "all property types" including residential, condominiums, commercial property, farmland and sale of businesses.

The hot real estate market has cooled and most cities across Canada are experiencing a "buyer's market." While many homeowners have chosen to stay put rather than chance losing money on their investment, those homeowners who have no choice but to move must put in extra effort to make their homes more appealing to buyers.
"Home staging helps create an environment that will lead a buyer's eye to your home's most attractive features, while minimizing its flaws," says Julie Panasiuk, sales representative, Royal LePage. "There are many quick fixes you can make to your home to help it stand out to potential buyers."
Panasiuk offers the following home staging tips:
Make a Good First Impression - Increase the curb appeal of your home by planting flowers or placing planters in the front and back yards. Clear the driveway and yard of children's toys and store away unsightly trashcans. Also, pay close attention to pet, cooking and cigarette odours in your home -scented candles or flowers can help to brighten and energize your home.
Keep it Clean - Steam clean carpets, wash floors, walls and light fixtures and clean all appliances (inside and out). Pay special attention to your bathroom and kitchen - make sure that tile grout is mildew free and baseboards scrubbed. And, don't forget about the windows.
Freshen-Up - Adding a fresh coat of paint and laying new carpet will brighten up your home. Make sure to choose neutral colours and make it consistent throughout the home. Replace the fixtures in your bathroom and kitchen. A modern faucet, such as the Pilar pull-down kitchen faucet with Touch2O technology by Delta, makes a statement at an affordable price point and will be a memorable feature when the potential buyer compares all of the homes they have seen in their search.
Create the Illusion of Space - Remove excess furniture to make rooms feel more open. Strategically placed mirrors and lighting can also help to create the illusion of more space.
De-Personalize and Lose the Clutter - To help potential buyers envision themselves in your home, depersonalize by removing family photographs, collectibles and knick knacks. Also, make sure that your kitchen and bathroom counters are free of small appliances and personal effects.
Centre Stage - Help potential buyers see the possibilities. Set the table for dinner with flowers, fine dishes and cutlery or run the bath and add floating candles, leaving out a robe or a set of fresh towels to enhance the feel of a spa-like setting.

Water Heater 101
Many homeowners will admit they don't know a whole lot about the water heater down in their basement. Dave Walton, Direct Energy's director of home ideas, offers up some information to help homeowners become a little more familiar with their water heaters, along with a few suggestions for those thinking of switching to tankless water heaters.
Longevity - Homeowners can expect their conventional water heater to supply hot water for approximately sixteen years, depending upon a number of factors including, without limitation, the use of the water heater, the water temperature and the type of water in the premises. A tankless unit can last in the neighbourhood of twenty years, depending on water quality and usage requirements.
Capacity - For both conventional and tankless units, it is important for homeowners to correctly calculate their hot water needs. This is especially true for tankless units. The capacity of a tankless unit needs to be thoroughly researched based on the number facilities within the home requiring hot water simultaneously.
Quality - In areas where the water quality rates as hard, a tankless water heater is not recommended. Tankless units are more susceptible to water scaling than conventional water heaters. However, the harder the water quality, the more scaling occurs in both systems.
Maintenance - Unlike their basement mates, furnaces, conventional water heaters generally do not require an annual maintenance routine. Maintenance for tankless systems is specific to each model and brand. Homeowners should consult their manuals for guidance.
More information on water heaters can be found online at www.directenergy.com/waterheater or toll-free at 1-888-334-8221.

First Impressions
Remember what first attracted you to your house when you bought it? What excited you about its most appealing features? Now that you're selling your home, you'll need to look at it as if you were buying it all over again.
A spruced up house makes a great first impression on potential buyers. An attractive property grabs their attention and makes them excited about finding a house that looks and feels well-cared for. Because buyers know they'll encounter fewer problems if they buy it, your house becomes more appealing and stands out from the competition. So if you prepare your home correctly, you'll save time selling it when it's on the market.
A good first impression makes an impact on a number of levels. It's not just the way your house looks to potential buyers, but how it feels and smells to them, how their friends and family will react, how they imagine it would be to live there.
With simple improvements throughout your house, you can grab the attention of potential buyers and help them see why your house is right for them.
