While the number of homes sold in November was only 29 down from 41 in October, the average home prices soared in November to $582,859, significantly higher than October’s average sale price of $511,961, and a 32% increase in the average sale price of homes compared to November 2016 (avg sale price $441,668). This is likely due to increased activity from buyers looking to upsize to larger homes before the next round of mortgage rule changes that will come in effect on January 1st, 2018. |

Home sales have slowed somewhat as a result of new measures in place by the government to reign in escalating prices across the GTA, but in Centre Wellington the ‘slow-down’ is closely mirroring the typical seasonal slowdown of the summer months.
The average sale price of homes has eased slightly as a result of reduced buyer pressure and multiple offer situations which were previously driving prices up to unsustainable levels. Year to Date average home prices are $513,289, whereas August 2017 home sales average price was $469,853. The number of home sales in August has also slowed slightly, with 39 homes selling in August 2017, compared to 49 in 2016 and 45 in 2015.
As a result of reduced buyer pressure, prices have stabilized somewhat, and buyers have a more realistic expectation on what to offer on a home, while Sellers too, benefit from knowing more closely of what their home will likely sell for.
