Strong Home Sales Continue in February

The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR) announced 824 homes exchanged hands in February, achieving another monthly record for residential sales. Sales were up more than 19% compared to the same time a year ago, marking the best results ever for February, since the Association began tracking data in 1978.  "This is the sixth consecutive month of record sales, demonstrating just how strong the housing marketplace is right now," said LSTAR 2021 President Jack Lane. "Because of the low supply and high demand, we continue to see increases in average sales price across the entire region."  Another important measure is the sales-to-new listings ratio. "In the month of February, the ratio was 83.3% for LSTAR," Lane said. "A ratio between 40% and 60% is generally consistent with a balanced market, again demonstrating how robust the marketplace is. For those interested in selling their home, it's an opportune time to get in touch with a local REALTOR®." Despite the increases, homes in LSTAR's jurisdiction continue to remain relatively affordable when compared to houses from some other major Ontario and Canadian centres.

March Newsletter ~ The PEDLAR Team Update

 

First Day Of Spring Is Around The Corner   Good day everyone! Hope this newsletter finds you and yours well. March is upon us and we have lots to celebrate from international womans day on March 8th, St. Patricks Day on March 17th & the first day of spring on March 20th!

International Woman's Day March 8th This day, whether you are male or female, is a good excuse to call your mother, sister, daughter, friend, or any woman whom you appreciate and/or love and tell them…just that. Give them some true appreciation. Tell them those things you love about them that you never say, those things that we assume the other person knows. According to the UN, International Women’s Day is “a day when women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women.” Here are some great quotes by women, about women: “Girls should never be afraid to be smart.” – Emma Watson “In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” – Sheryl Sandberg “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” – Michelle Obama   St. Patrick's Day March 17   As one would expect due to COVID concerns there will not be any gatherings to celebrate St. Patricks Day. That being said, it doesn't mean you can't celebrate it at home! Go get some green dye and add it to whatever your drink of choice may be, discover the history of St.Patricks day, or tune in to the festivities that St.Patricks Festival organizers put online and watch the parade & musical acts all from the comfort of your home anywhere in the world! Click the link to see the virtual events: https://www.stpatricksfestival.ie/ Realtor.ca 2020 Statistics While sales activity broke records in 2020, it was also a year that emphasized the importance of having a safe space to call home, as Canadians were asked to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. REALTOR.ca continues to be the go-to trusted real estate platform for Canadians. It has maintained its spot as market leader with 73 million visitors last year—up 45% from 2019! Let’s take a closer look at how REALTOR.ca continues to help connect consumers to REALTORS®: - REALTOR.ca sent 4 million leads to REALTORS® in 2020, up 38% from 2019. -Visitors looked at REALTOR® profiles 11 million times in 2020, an increase of nearly 24% from 2019. -REALTOR.ca visitors looked at property pages 1.7 billion times (up 73% from last year). That’s an average of 196,000 property views per hour!
