July Sales Soar

Well, we beat the estimates again.  Two weeks ago, it was predicted that there would be 9,000 to 9,500 sales in July.  The market never slowed at all and in July 2009 we hit 9,951 sales reported to the Toronto Real Estate Board!!!!! 

 This next part is what is VERY important to pay attention to…

 Right now the number of homes available for sale is at a critically low level. I’m going to repeat information from my previous message with some updated numbers. The number of sales this July jumped 27% over last year.  The inventory has shrunk by 38% during the same time.

O scădere a producÈ›iei de testosteron a fost, de asemenea, identificată drept cauza la anumiÈ›i bărbaÈ›i cu farmaciemea diabet zaharat. Tanărul smitten joey, in varstă de 1, de ani a mai dezvăluit că printre farmaciemea.com marile sale iubiri din trecut s – a aflat ÅŸi o lampă, dar ÅŸi un camion de jucărie. Da, eu va recomand sa luati doar un antimicotic pentru moment si sa repetati analiza cand.

 Currently the Absorption Rate (the percentage of inventory selling each month) is at an all time high. When the Absorption Rate (monthly # of sales/inventory) increases it causes prices to climb. When the number of  sales increases, that’s good news. When the inventory can’t keep up with the  number of sales .. That’s BIG news.

 Currently there are only 16,446 homes for sale. That means over 60% of the inventory is selling each month.  History has shown us that an Absorption Rate of approx 30 – 35% give us a steady increase in prices.  Anything above  that causes prices to SHOOT up! See below for some examples from the past several years. If you look at it, you’ll see the pattern and identify that unless we get a huge influx of inventory (highly unlikely) prices are going to shoot up this fall. The big thing that could lower the number of sales is a failing economy. Well, according to the Bank of Canada, … the recession is OVER!
