SOLD In Lambton Shores ~ Newer Built Bungalow Backing Onto Nature

Home Sakes Remain Flat in November

 In November, 492 homes exchanged hands via the MLS® (Multiple Listing Service) System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR). That was down 19.2%, compared to the same month a year ago, but up 15.5% from November 2023.

“Although down from the previous November, sales were on par with activity in the last four years,” said Dale Marsh, 2025 LSTAR Chair. “Based on the economic climate across the country and the uncertainty in the marketplace, many potential buyers remain on the sidelines. This is evident by the 5.7 months of inventory in November, which is the highest inventory level recorded in the month, over the past 10 years.”

Average sales price remained virtually unchanged from the previous month. It was $604,994 in November, down 5.6% compared to the same time a year ago. In October, average sales price was $605,560.

“Historically, we usually experience a quieter season during the winter months,” Marsh said. “With the amount of inventory available, it may be an opportune time for potential buyers to get into the market. Your local REALTOR® can be a resourceful guide to help those looking to buy or sell a home.”

Exciting News From Ontario Government for First Time Home Buyers Building Or Buying A New Home   Some very exciting news for first time home buyers that are building or buying a brand new home! The federal government brought legislation in earlier this year that would allow a rebate on the full 5% of federal sales tax for first time home buyers building or buying a new home up to a million dollars. The federal government also offered smaller rebates for new homes above a million dollars. Now the Ontario government has followed suit by offering a full 8% rebate on the provincial sales tax for first time home buyers buying or building a brand new home up to a million dollars. This means up to $130,000 in rebates of sales tax on buying or building brand new homes for first time home buyers up to a million dollars! This initiative will make a drastic change in the view of first time home buyers when considering buying/building a new home or buying a resale home. For example you can right now purchase a brand new bungalow home in Ailsa Craig for $599,900. With these new rebates you would be looking at a new purchase price of $521,913 after rebates are received! Give us a call today to discuss your options and see how you can make this new legislation work for you as a first time home buyer.
