August was stable compared to July in that the supply of houses relative the the actual sales remained fairly stable. The one notable statistic was the Average sale price of a house. In August the average was pulled higher by 14% over the 2011 average sale price. This increase is due to two very large sales on the Westside during the month. Of the 75 houses sold, there were two sales over $ 12 million which have brought the average sale price up. Another interesting statistic is the drop in supply from Aug 31st to Sept 1st of approximately 60 houses. For the first time in several months we have under 1000 houses for sale but I predict this number to quickly move up as more homes enter the market in time for the Fall. In the past three weeks I personally noticed a pick-up in the number of buyers looking at houses and the number of offers received. So far we have not seen this translate into increased house sales. With September upon us it will be a matter of time before we see if our market will see increased sales activity or not. Stay tuned!
Here’s how the numbers stack up for Westside Real Estate Activity in August:
Single Family Homes
Townhomes and Condos
Is Your Home Market Ready?
If you are thinking of placing your home on the market this Fall, remember, First Impressions are everything. Jill and I would be pleased to drop by, meet with you and suggest what you can do to increase not only the saleability of your home but also its Market value. So many of our suggestions are typically simple changes or repairs well worth the effort.
A poorly staged home with outstanding deficiencies will always sell for less and take longer to sell that the well prepared home.
Don’t sell yourself short. Call us today! We can easily be reached on our mobile at 604-657-7936 or via email at Andrew@andrewhasman.com.
Have a Great Autumn!
