We have a lot of info today but its well worth the read (well, I think it is).
Here is our weekly update and, as promised, a look at our Monthly Inventory.
The Real Estate Association of Hamilton and Burlington (RAHB) weekly average sales info is
interesting to see each week but its not accurate enough for us to base decisions on.
Thats because these stats include condos, freeholds,1 bedroom homes,8 bedroom homes, etc; quite a variety of different homes.
We have many ways to assess Real Estate Markets
A few are Average sales prices, Days On Market ( DOM ), Months of Inventory and...Experience.
This week a house had 42 viewings and 7 offers. Another house sold for $30,000 over asking price.
I just showed a commercial rental , on the market for over 100 days...even after 100 DOM it
received interest from 2 different people. My Client wisely agreed that we will wait for another one.
Conclusion = We are still seeing fast sales, high prices and multiple offers.

Let's look at our Stats
Week of March 1-7 average sale price - $647,262.00
Week of April 19-25 average sale price - $542,658.00
For a little perspective. - on Dec 18, 2019 our average sales price was $520,254.
- on Nov 20, 2019 our average sales price was $528,187.00

Let's look at DOM and List Price compared to Sale Price
Last week our DOM was 28.
This past week our average DOM was 22 days.
And in the middle of a pandemic!
Houses that sold this past week sold for 98.03% of their original list price.
Id say thats pretty solid.
If you are like me you might want to verify this calculation.
552,721 / 562,934 = 98.19% not 98.03%.
This is because the average list price will reflect the most current list prices not the Original List Prices (OLP).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's Look at MONTHS OF INVENTORY
This calculation relates directly to DOM. As DOM goes up Inventory goes up and market will adjust.
The calculation - number of Active listings for a month divided by the number of houses sold and pending sale that month.
980 (Houses listed in April) / 433 (Houses sold or pending sale in April) = 2.26 Months of Inventory.
We are still in a Sellers market.
Sellers market occurs when there are 4 months Inventory or less.
Balanced market occurs when we have 4-6 months inventory.
Buyers market occurs when we have 6 months inventory or more.
I really enjoy writing these updates.
I also love helping my clients buy and sell their homes.
Thinking of downsizing? Want to stop renting and start owning?

Have an Awesome Day!
