Stories of impact: this month’s story is about Stamford Estates Retirement Living.

Throughout my time in real estate I have grown to love and appreciate working with seniors. That being said I have worked hard to network and use the resources around me to better serve seniors. One of the ways I stay involved is connecting with the many living options seniors have in the Niagara Region. I have become very close with those at Stamford Estates Retirement Living and attend the many events they host for the residences. Set in the historic district of Stamford, Stamford Estates offers an active senior lifestyle. Live the good life with chef-prepared meals and housekeeping–services that help free up more time to socialize, attend events and pursue your interests. During my pop in’s at Stamford Estates, I have had the opportunity to meet many of the current residences. A 99 year old gentleman caught my attention and I asked him if he wanted to play a game of pool. It's safe to say we’ve become friends and whenever I have the opportunity to pop in I make sure we get our game of pool in.

Here’s what has happened in the last month in real estate.

Residential home sales activity recorded through the MLS® for the Niagara Association of REALTORS® (NAR) totaled 602 units in April 2024, compared to 560 units in April 2023. In April, the Niagara Association of REALTORS® listed 1396 residential properties compared to 991 in April 2023. The average days it took to sell a home in April 2024 was 40 days, a 29% increase from April 2023.

The Niagara Market continues the upward surge as the HPI Benchmark jumps to 644,700 from 633,400 last month. The Days on market continues going down as we dropped to 40 Days from 43 in March. The listings have also continued to climb with 1396 in April up from 1167 in March. If interest rates start to decrease it could create pressure on the Niagara Market. As always Buyers and Sellers really need to navigate the real estate market with a local REALTOR® to gain the knowledge and insight of this market, that continues to see variations within its 12 municipalities.

NOTE: The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is June 5, 2024. The Bank will publish its next full outlook for the economy and inflation, including risks to the projection, in the MPR on July 24, 2024
