HOW’S THE MARKET? – December 2023

January 1, 2024

In the December market update, we observed a notable decline in both the number of sales and active listings on the board. It’s not unusual for December to be a quieter month as people focus on holiday festivities and family time. However, the exciting news is that inquiries from buyers have started coming in more steadily shortly after Christmas and continue into January. This trend is promising for those currently on the market or considering entering it in early spring. In December, we had the pleasure of helping four families secure their new homes. Interestingly, three out of those four families initiated their search during the summer months, highlighting the time and patience it sometimes takes to find the perfect home or negotiate a favorable deal. As we move forward into the new year, we remain optimistic about the market’s momentum and look forward to helping more families in their real estate endeavors.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the stats in our area:

In Grey Highlands 3 homes sold with an average price of $606,167 compared to 8 sold in December 2022 with an average price of $1,026,250

In West Grey 7 homes sold with an average price of $750,286 compared to 10 sold in December 2022 with an average price of $680,200
