AUGUST REAL ESTATE SALES CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN HAMILTON-BURLINGTON

August sales continue trend

(September 3, 2009 – Hamilton, Ontario) The Hamilton-Burlington area resale market reported a total of 1,133 units sold in August, indicating an increase of 16 per cent over the same month last year. The total unit sales for the first eight months of 2009 are being reported at 4.5 per cent lower for the same period last year, while new units listed are 8.6 per cent lower for the year-to-date, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).

"With summer coming to a close, it is a good time to reflect on the local resale market," said Bruce King, RAHB President. "The August numbers continued the positive trend set in July, with sales and average price up, year over year. 2009 has thus far continued to surprise market watchers."

Residential properties sold during August totalled 1,090 which included 846 freehold properties and 244 condominiums. Commercial sales for August, including industrial, farm, vacant land and business, totalled 43 units.

The average price of freehold residential properties sold in the month of August was $313,356, an increase of 2.7 per cent over August last year. The average sale price reflects the dollar volume of residential sales divided by the number of total residential units sold.

In the condominium market the average price of condominiums in August was $215,154, an increase of 1.3 per cent over August 2008.

The total number of units listed for sale during August was 1,535, which is 2.8 per cent fewer than were listed in the same period in 2008.

"Last week CREA revised their annual forecast to accommodate the strong sales we saw in the second quarter and are now seeing in the third," added King. "Their revision represents a change in the predicted annual decline in activity to 0.4 per cent compared to levels set in 2008, and is a significant upward adjustment from the previously forecast decline of 14.7 per cent issued last May."

Unit sales reflect "all property types" including residential, condominiums, commercial property, farmland and sale of businesses.

When Viewing Homes, View Them with Your Eyes WIDE OPEN!!

When Viewing Homes, View Them with Your Eyes WIDE OPEN!!!
Ok, so you're in the market to purchase a home.

August & September are couple of the BEST Months to List & Purchase a Home!
Some want into their New Homes Before or During the Start of the New School Year.

Next step is that you'll want to go to a bunch of open houses or have your realtor set up appointments to view homes for sale.

You pull up to the curb and there it is - the home of your dreams.

Calm down.

Take a deep breath and start again. The hardest thing to do when looking for a home is to remain objective. It is easy to fall in love with a home's appearance, but it's very important to look beyond the window dressing.

The following not only helps Buyers, It also helps Sellers to get there home ready before they list it on the market.

Here are some things to consider when looking at a home:

General upkeep
First appearances do count. Is the home dirty and cluttered? Are the lawns uncut? Are the walls chipped and in need of paint? If the owner hasn't bothered to keep the house looking clean and attractive, what problems are lurking below the surface?

Water leaks
Water can do a lot of damage to a home. It rots wood, undermines foundations, and leads to mould and mildew. Reshingling a house, or repairing a cracked foundation to stop water leaks, can be extremely expensive.

It takes an expert eye to find most water leaks (which is why we recommend you have a house inspected before you buy). If you spot stains, bulges and other signs of water damage on ceilings or walls, make special note that there could be a problem.

Appliances and fixtures
Test the lights, faucets, toilets, furnace, air conditioning, and all major appliances that are to be included with the home. Make sure everything is working as it should.

Floors
Floors should be smooth, even, and solid. Soft springy sections, excessive squeaking, and unevenness are all indications that expensive repairs may be needed.

Doors and windows
Check that doors and windows fit snugly and operate smoothly. Look for flaked paint and loose caulking. Check for drafts.

Drainage
Walk around the yard looking for areas where water might collect. Soggy areas near the foundation indicate poor drainage.

Grout and Caulking
If the grout and caulking around bathroom and kitchen tiles are loose and crumbling, there is a good chance water is finding its way into the wall or under the floor.

Structural
Look for deep cracks in the foundations or loose mortar and bricks.

Furnishings
If you are not planning to replace all of your furniture (and not many people are), make sure it will fit into the rooms of the new house. Be sure to bring a measuring tape. Rooms can be deceptive.

Storage space
Make sure your new house has enough storage space for all your belongings. And that means more than just your clothes. Think of all the things that need to find a home - tools, gardening equipment, old toys, sports equipment, and all those wedding presents that are still in their original boxes. Check the size of the closets, the attic, the basement, and the garage. Rule of thumb: there's never enough storage space.

Inspection
You should take a long hard look at a house before you put in an offer to protect yourself from disappointment down the road. But, nothing can replace the expert opinion of a qualified home inspector. Inspectors can spot problems that the average person would never find and they can usually advise you on how much it will cost to make the repairs. A home inspection can help you determine whether or not you are going to make an offer on a house, and if you decide to go ahead, just how much that offer is going to be.
