Hottest Month Yet For Markham Real Estate!

Even though it doesn’t feel like it yet, spring is in the air and the Markham real estate market is on fire!  Average sale prices not only continue to rise, but they continue to rise at a double digit pace.  Sale prices were up almost 17% when compared to March of last year.  Total sales were up by more than 20% while new listing were only up by 3% creating a ton of competition between buyers.  When comparing total sales vs active listings, the ratio was 93.4% which blows all previous months in recent years out of the water!

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, there really hasn’t been a better time than now.  March was a crazy month and I expect the same to continue throughout April as the weather finally heats up (hopefully).  As is the case in most years, though, new active listings will surely increase as the spring turns to summer and sellers will likely have more competition.  But for now…the market is amazing for sellers so give me a call and let’s get your home listed!!!
