Buyers Market Creeping Back

GTA May Resale Housing Sales Higher Than Last Year

May 2009 had reported 9,589 sales, up almost 2% from May 2008 – the first annual increase since December 2007!!!!

The first half of June 2009 has reported 5,185 transactions – an increase of 19% compared to the same period last year.

Prime Rate is still low, but the fixed interest rates are creeping up too...but even at 3.5%-4%, that's still a fantastic rate! With houses rising and interest rates rising, it's sliding into becoming a Seller's Market again. Don't let that stop you from buying and negotiating! Negotiate the purchase price and shop around for the best interest rate!
