Strong Growth Continues in October
I know the headline sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Mike and I have now sold more homes this year than we did in all of last year. What makes this a bit of a surprise is that the first two months of 2009 were quieter than I have experienced in twenty years of real estate sales. Since March we have been very busy assisting “first time” buyers, “move up” buyers and sellers and clients relocating in or out of the area.
Thank you for helping make this possible with your referrals of friends, family and neighbours.

BEST SELLING SEPTEMBER ON RECORD
The Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) reported 875 sales in August 2009, down 15% from July 09’s 1033, but up 15% from the 746 recorded in August ‘08’.
Average selling prices were down 2.2% ($278,400) in August, from July’s $285,247, but up 2.8% from the reported $270,802 reported in August ‘08’.
“Home sales are stronger then expected,” commented Debbie Dawson, 2009 DRAR President. “The drop in sales from July to August is consistent with market history. Housing sales usually drop in August as most clients go on vacation or are busy getting children ready for a new school year.”
“Total active listings are down 34.6% (1865) from August 08’s 2849,” reported Dawson. “There is now a demand for resale homes in various price ranges within Durham. The demand is also keeping the average selling price up from the same time last year.”
