Home Prices Continue to Rise in March

 

636 homes were sold last month via the MLS® System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR), 11.3% less than in March 2023. The number of newly listed properties surged from 1,024 in February to 1,233 in March, marking a 11.8% increase over a year ago.   "For LSTAR, this was the March with the lowest number of home sales in the last decade, partly because of the statutory holiday Good Friday, which fell at the end of the month this year, and not in April, as usual," said 2024 LSTAR Chair Kathy Amess. "However, the number of new listings was in line with the Association’s ten-year average for the month of March," she pointed out.   Out of the 636 homes exchanging hands in March in LSTAR’s jurisdiction, 449 were single-family homes, 103 were townhouses, and 63 – apartments. The average price for a single-family home in the London-St. Thomas area rose from $682,780 in February to $708,044 last month, while that of a townhouse climbed from $507,229 to in February to $531,369 last month. The average price of an apartment from our region surged from $382,496 in February to $403,560 in March. "In addition, the average prices for townhouses and apartments saw slight year-over-year gains, rising by 1.7% and 4.9% respectively," Amess observed.  "However, when compared to March 2023, the average price of a single-family home from our area decreased by 0.2%," she added.   Overall, the housing supply increased slightly in our region - from 2.7 months of inventory in February to 2.9 months in March. "LSTAR’s sales-to-new listings ratio sat at 51.6% last month, indicating a highly balanced real estate market," Amess said.   The average home price for the entire jurisdiction of LSTAR saw a healthy month-over-month growth – from $617,790 in February to $646,155 last month – but was 0.2% lower than in March 2023. However, the Composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price posted month-over-month and year-over-year increases – of 2.6%, and 1.6% respectively - hiking to $602,700.
