Beware of the industry “Talking Heads” when making decisions in the Residential Real Estate Market!

As a public service announcement to my clients, both Sellers and Buyers, I say be cautious, sceptical, prudent and diligent when considering the various opinions of “expert economic analysts” when it comes to making decisions regarding the purchase of a new home or the selling of your existing home.  Reminiscent of the “fun-with-statistics” game that anyone can use to bolster their viewpoint, one needs to be cautious before basing ones individual home investment decisions on broad, marco-economic trends. Remember that residential real estate is a very local business in that the many variables that affect the current market value and future price appreciation of your home are usually more heavily weighted towards local versus national statistics and trends. 

There have been several headline articles referencing a few studies opining that Canadian homes are some significantly overvalued. Whether the basis of the argument is overall affordability based upon current prices, interest rates and general income levels or just a general, across the board slackening in buyer demand (following a prior period of pent up demand and short supply of product), coupled with a now growing supply level of available homes for sale, the conclusions seem to be that the Canadian housing market is in trouble.

What is really going on here and why should the average person pay the slightest bit of attention to analysts and economic forecasters that as a collective profession in prior periods “missed the call” on the tech boom collapse, the sub-prime mortgage fiasco, the international credit crisis and various other significant macroeconomic or large company specific events that cumulatively have destroyed trillions of dollars of peoples wealth?

I think that before anyone allows the media hype over a possible downturn in the national or provincial residential home price levels influence their particular decision to buy or sell a home it may be wise to examine your own situation in more detail. By that I mean have you investigated the following factors and weighted them appropriately in your own investment decision making?

·        What are the economic strengths and weaknesses of the city and community in which you intend to transact?

·        What is the general socio-economic profile of the area, community and neighbourhood? (Remember that in real estate investing, the mantra is location, location, location!)

·        What are the positive and negative aspects of the particular property especially in relation to similar homes in the neighbourhood

·        What is the current profile of your financial wellbeing in terms of net income, employment stability, investable wealth, level of indebtedness, debt service obligations, short and medium term financial obligations or commitments based upon family size, educational aspirations and age etc.?

·        What are your family’s current personal needs and wants regarding your present housing situation and what is your investment time horizon?

·        Is your local market in a balanced state or is it temporarily tilted in favour of either Buyers or Sellers due to current market supply and demand factors?

The forgoing list is not exhaustive by any means but by the time you have critically reviewed these factors and positioned them against the general macro-economic prognosis regarding what housing price levels may or may not do in the future I think you may come to the conclusion that your own personal situation and the direct factors that weigh on it is far more relevant than some market observers’ prognosis.  Just as the average retail stock market investor gets whipsawed by trying to time the market buying and selling at precisely the wrong times after reading all the analysis by “expert analysts”, the average home buyer will most probably lose out if he or she is primarily trying to time their home purchase decision on a ‘hitting of the market bottom”.

My primary advice to those contemplating selling or buying a home in this market is to weigh heavily the local and personal factors impacting your decision, remember that interest rates while having risen are still far below long term averages and finally, that in many cases so called experts are so often wrong it’s getting harder to remember them ever being right! I think one should be cautious, sceptical, prudent and diligent when considering such opinions in the face of making one of the larger investment decisions of one’s lifetime. At the end of the day I believe that when evaluated over the longer term the decision you make today if properly evaluated, will pay dividends both financially and personally in terms of quality of life that no amount of guess work on short term housing market cycle timing will equal.

Equally important is to engage the services of a good REALTOR!

Oakville Residential April 2010 Sales Stats and Market Commentary

According to the Oakville Milton and District Real Estate Board (OMDREB) the dollar volume of home sales in Oakville for April 2010 was $208.5 million representing a total of 372 sales. The Average Price achieved was $560.5K and the Median Price was $485.2K. Average Number of Days on the Market was 23. To put these numbers into perspective a comparison to April 2009 proves useful. Sales were up 62 units or 20% from last April’s 310 units. Average Sales Prices were up $55.7K or 11% and the Median Price was up $50.2 or 11% as well.

The Year-To-Date (YTD) numbers are impressive when compared to 2009 results. To the end of April 2010, 1,222 residential sales have transpired compared to 789 in 2009, representing a 55% improvement. The YTD Average sales price is $562.9K versus $470.0K in 2009 (a 20% increase), while the YTD Median sales price is $485.2K versus $408.0K (a 19% increase).  

With more listings coming onto the market each and every day as we head into the traditionally stronger spring selling season, the market is moving towards a more balanced state. Despite some recent mortgage interest rate increases and the recent policy change with respect to a benchmark rate for underwriting qualification, the continued low interest rate environment (by historical standards) and an increasing sense of optimism regarding the economic recovery continues to support a strong level of Buyer demand. The increasing supply of listings together with the fulfilling of prior pent-up buyer demand should help moderate the price gains over the next few months.

My advice to my Seller clients is unchanged in that now is a good time to list your property for sale to take advantage of underlying current market strengths and the momentum of the traditionally strong spring selling season. Buyers are cautioned to remain disciplined in their affordability calculations but also consider all the valid reasons why you are contemplating purchasing a new home versus simply looking at the transaction as just a monetary investment. That should help you put potential short term price or value fluctuations into perspective.

I hope you find the information useful and if you have any questions on the Oakville residential real estate market or are thinking of selling your Oakville home and buying a new dream home, please do not hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I would be pleased to provide you with a Free Comparative Market Value Assessment for your home as well as an overview of my detailed Marketing Program that incorporates many leading edge technologies to broadly market your house for sale.

I look forward to hearing from you!
