During August 2010 median prices for attached (condos) slightly increased by 1.03% and median prices for detached homes slightly decreased by 1.28% compared to those of the previous month (July 2010). Median real estate prices in both attached and detached homes have again increased, both in double digits 10.00% for attached homes and 11.59% for detached homes when compared to those of the previous year (August 2009). Without the tax credit that was previously available to first time homebuyers, it seems that many would be buyers are remaining on the fence. Many of the summer would be buyers bought early to take advantage of the credit. While median sales price for detached homes decreased slightly in August when compared to the previous month, attached homes enjoyed a slight increase. Buyers in the entry level, single detached homes under $350,000 will continue to drive the real estate market going into 2011. The median sales price so far is showing an increase at a measured pace over the last year with a few minor deeps here and there, but overall the median price year to date remains at 10% higher than last year. As a result we anticipate that there’ll be more properties listed in the near future by sellers who may have been on the fence by fear of taking a loss on their investment. We should see more competitive market place in the upcoming months and with it more increase in the median sales price.

During July 2010 median prices for attached (condos) decreased by 1.02% and median prices for detached homes also decreased by 3.10% compared to those of the previous month (June 2010). Median real estate prices in both attached and detached homes have again increased, 3.59% for attached homes and 5.12% for detached homes when compared to those of the previous year (July 2009). After a very strong Spring season due to the Federal Tax Credit, we saw a small decrease in sales to first time home buyers (who moved to purchase earlier to take advantage of the credit) during July. However overall sales year to date show a double digit increase in median prices, a 13.33% increase for attached homes (condos – townhomes) and a 13.23% increase for single family detached homes. In my opinion, due to first time home buyers having already bought a home earlier in the Spring, I expect the total number of homes sold to slow down a bit during the next 2 to 3 months, however I expect the median home prices to remain flat for the same period of time as home buyers will continue taking advantage of the lowest mortgage rates since… I don’t know when (ever?).

I’m sure that the extension to the Federal Tax Credit for first time home buyers has had a lot to do with this since we saw many first time home buyers out purchasing homes!
