june sales best in seven years
981 homes exchanged hands last month, up 23.4% from June 2013. "Everything was up," says Jim Holody, President of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS®. "Detached homes were up 22.3%, condos were up 28.4% and listings were up 18.6%. An increase in listings is good news because it means our market remains a balanced one. In addition, the Year-to-Date sales total 4,337, up 2.8%. There's no question but it's a happening market out there. Our Members have been telling us that the market has been playing catch-up to adjust for the unusually cold winter; the stats for the last two months certainly bears that out." He goes on to point out that, "Low interest rates, the conclusion of the provincial election and strong consumer confidence all contributed to making last month the best June since 2007 – itself a record year."
