MLS Housing Market Report
for July 2010

Market Activity A total of 714 homes sold in July of 2010 compared to 904 in July 2009 – down 21%. We are still ahead year-to-date over 2009 by 8.3%.

The decline in market activity forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) continued to dampen real estate sales for a second consecutive month.

"This is not just our local market," explains Joe Hough, Past President of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS®, "it’s nationwide".
Type of Market Balanced
Listings Active detached home listings end of period were up 11.9%. Active condo listings end of period were up 10.0 %.

Affordability According to the Canadian Real Estate Association’s Major Market MLS® Statistical Survey, the average price year-to-date for:
  • London and St. Thomas - $228,283
  • Vancouver - $673,579
  • Toronto - $437,566
  • Calgary - $395,847
  • Edmonton - $339,172
  • Ottawa - $333,854
  • Hamilton - $ 239,819
  • Durham - $304,451
  • St. Catharines - $239,819
Market Factors One of the indicators of a healthy real estate market is a modest gain in average house price over time.

"The London CMA is remarkably stable in terms of price," says Hough. "We are consistently right-priced."

This month, as in previous months and years, homes in LSTAR’s jurisdiction maintain their affordability compared to other major Ontario and Canadian centers.
