August sales continue trend
(September 3, 2009 - Hamilton, Ontario) The Hamilton-Burlington area resale market reported a total of 1,133 units sold in August, indicating an increase of 16 per cent over the same month last year. The total unit sales for the first eight months of 2009 are being reported at 4.5 per cent lower for the same period last year, while new units listed are 8.6 per cent lower for the year-to-date, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
"With summer coming to a close, it is a good time to reflect on the local resale market," said Bruce King, RAHB President. "The August numbers continued the positive trend set in July, with sales and average price up, year over year. 2009 has thus far continued to surprise market watchers."
Residential properties sold during August totalled 1,090 which included 846 freehold properties and 244 condominiums. Commercial sales for August, including industrial, farm, vacant land and business, totalled 43 units.
The average price of freehold residential properties sold in the month of August was $313,356, an increase of 2.7 per cent over August 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 August was $215,154, an increase of 1.3 per cent over August 2008.
The total number of units listed for sale during August was 1,535, which is 2.8 per cent fewer than were listed in the same period in 2008.
"Last week CREA revised their annual forecast to accommodate the strong sales we saw in the second quarter and are now seeing in the third," added King. "Their revision represents a change in the predicted annual decline in activity to 0.4 per cent compared to levels set in 2008, and is a significant upward adjustment from the previously forecast decline of 14.7 per cent issued last May."
Unit sales reflect "all property types" including residential, condominiums, commercial property, farmland and sale of businesses.

Net-zero homes are on the horizon
Construction News:
By J.C. Carroll
(NC)-Home construction is turning 'green' at such a rapid pace, it is expected that very soon, you will be able to build a house to be so energy efficient there will be no need to tap the public supply. In mathematical terms: the energy a
home is able to generate, subtract the energy required by the occupants, would be zero.
"Three main elements must co-exist for it to work cost-efficiently," says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a manufacturer of advanced concrete wall forms. "Those components are: the ability to generate a constant energy supply; a building envelope with maximum strength and insulation; and an inside operation with reduced energy usage.
"If, at the outset, energy-impact decisions are made carefully regarding the walls, windows, roofing, ventilation and indoor climate control, you are well on your way to completely offsetting energy consumption. Once the building is erected, it's a matter of smaller incremental decisions that add into the energy savings."
This vision is already a reality. In 2010, the first 'net-zero' school building will open in the United States, where it will not only showcase an important Canadian design element, this building will also push the efficiency benchmarks beyond all expectations.
• A roof designed with solar panels and electricity grid.
• Geothermal heating and cooling for environmentally responsible efficiency.
• Walls of concrete. The Nudura system is comprised of stay-in-place, pre-assembled blocks, steel reinforced, and then filled with concrete. It replaces traditional building methods. The durability and energy efficiency of concrete has shown to reduce energy costs up to 70 percent. Better still, the entire structure (www.nudura.com) is reported to be up to nine times stronger, with far more fire protection and with far more sound insulation.
• Ventilation includes a CO2 monitoring system to keep good air quality indoors and allow no more outdoor air than necessary.
• Positioning is north-south allowing for effective day lighting (without glare) so that all artificial lighting can be off during 70 percent of school hours.
• Computers are wireless. Five carts, each loaded with 30 laptops save energy, wiring and construction of a computer lab. Laptops use a fraction of the energy used to run a typical desktop computer.
• Kitchen staff is trained in energy-efficient food preparation. Typically, kitchens account for 25 percent of a school's energy drain.
