March 2010 Quinte MLS Statistics



March 2010 Quinte MLS Statistics.

March, once again a traditionally slow month, has been relatively strong. The sales to listing ratio, while still indicating a "buyers market", is pretty balanced for this time of year. Of course, in anticipation of the Spring, we are seeing many people trying to get a jump on the season by listing their properties a bit early. This was noticable in the latter half of the month.

If you have ay questions about the Quinte Real Estate market, or are interested in Trenton homes for sale, give Malcolm Johnston a call at 613 392 6594.

February 2010 Quinte MLS statistics



February 2010 Quinte MLS statistics.

The numbers indicate a fairly balanced market for the month of February. Traditionally February is a slower month, so these figures indicate that there is quite a bit of confidence in the market. This might be a good sign for the upcoming spring and summer market (if you plan to sell), however it's far too early to be confident that this will be the case. The impending introduction of the H.S.T. and changes in mortgage regulations might make the market drop off the table in a hurry.

If you are thinking of buying or selling your home or have any questions about the Quinte Real Estate market, you can reach me at 613 392 6594. If you are interested in Trenton homes for sale, I can be of assistance.

January 2010 Quinte MLS statistics


January 2010 MLS statistics for the Quinte Real Estate Board.

The statistics on this chart are very easy to follow.
In January there were 225 active residential listings and 117 sold.
This would indicate a "buyer's market" which is common for the month of January.
Note the large numbered of expired listings. These are listings which didn't sell. This is a very large number of expireds, however, once again, this is a common phenomena for January, as many people choose Dec. 31 to be the end of their listing contract.
