Good Wednesday afternoon. While I sit here, under an umbrella, enjoying a lovely summer day, I get to review this pass week's Georgina Real Estate's market activity in our humble town. The weekend brought lots of fireworks and fun family activity as we celebrate Canada's 150th birthday...although I am certain most of our natives (myself included) will say that we are much older than 150 years...regardless, I am proud to be a part of it, and proud to be Canadian.
Let's jump into work for a bit:
It is good to see that there are a few, slight, positive changes starting to happen in the market that have been noted from last week's activity.
Keswick - this week, we are seeing properties being on the market basically 10 days longer with the weekly sales quantities declining even more over previous weeks. There were only 4 sales in Keswick this past week, however, 2 of which were actually over asking (one is questionable, lol). The new listings that have come out this week is similar to last week's quantity and again, less than previous weeks.
Saturday, June 17th, 1-3pm, we will host a public open house of 50 Verona Crescent. You will be impressed with the area, the neighborhood and the property. Excellent size for a family and the yard is awesome with a large entertainment deck and above ground pool. Boasts near 2000sf of space plus a full, finished basement, you will be awed at the layout and space. Come by, say hi, and take a tour.
Good afternoon everyone. I have been Market Watching and tracking the activity in Georgina since the turn-of-events with our Government interference on real estate. Although, I think that most that has happened really has to do with the enormous number a listing that have flooded our market and not our Government poking their noses where they have no business. Georgina is made up of several small towns and their individual activity is very different and as a local gal, it is only right to try and get the research right.
Saturday, May 13th 1-3pm, we will host a public tour of 50 Verona Crescent. This is an amazing area to raise kids. All in walking distance is elementary/high school, park with water splash pad, movie theatre, recreation centre/arena, library and public transit. This home is almost 2000 sf with 4 bedrooms, main floor family room and main floor laundry along with a large rec room in the basement and 4 other rooms for whatever needs your famiy have. Come in a say hello!
Well folks, the weather may not always shine on us, these days, with one day cold and winter jackets needs to the next day with a sweater on. It is not stopping the well-greased wheels of real estate. Join us for a dual OPEN HOUSE at 263 Glenwoods Avenue, Keswick, on Saturday and again on Sunday, Mar 11th & 12th from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. This home is a fantastic starter for any young family and also a great investment with it's close proximity to the lake, parks, schools, public transit, shopping and highway 404!
An extremely HOT, fast-paced market. Join me to view this brand new listing at 53 Riverglen this Saturday and Sunday March 4th and 5th from 1-3pm. This one will not last, get in quick.
Effective January 1st, 2017, Ontario has doubled the land transfer tax rebate for first-time home buyers from $2,000 to $4,000. That means that a first-time home buyer will pay no provincial tax on homes sold for $368,000 or less.
Ontario REALTORS® lobbied hard for the improved rebate and we're very proud to promote it to first-time buyers.
Should be an interesting day. First snow fall and worst in the Barrie area and guess what? Im in Barrie. I will post as new info pops up.
