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

In May, the Niagara Association of REALTORS® listed 1568 residential properties compared to 1318 in May 2023. The average days it took to sell a home in May 2024 was 37 days, a 23% increase from May 2023. Consumers who have been waiting on the sidelines should be in the market now with the Bank of Canada announcement reducing the interest rates. This has given both buyers and sellers the confidence in the market they needed. May was already showing signs of that confidence with May Sales identical to April and the Benchmark Price increase along with the days on market reducing. Although the rate decrease is a positive sign, we are still in a housing attainability crisis and need all levels of government to work together to get more homes built, streamline the process by reducing red tape and get creative to make housing attainable in Niagara. Consumers should be contacting their local Niagara REALTOR® to stay informed of the current market in their neighbourhood.

Allow me to breakdown the recent rate cut:

Interest rates were cut by 0.25%, bringing the key interest rate from 5% to 4.75%. This reduction is good news for both homeowners and those looking to purchase a home. Lower interest rates can make borrowing cheaper, especially mortgages. Although the 0.25% rate cut isn’t a substantial change, it could hint at more interest rate decreases in the future - over 2024-2025. For those whose mortgages are up for renewal soon or who have variable rate mortgages, this is encouraging - but rates are still higher than they were a couple years ago. If you’re thinking about buying a home, renewing a mortgage, or have variable rate mortgage, it would be a wise decision to speak with a Mortgage Specialist and review all options. I am always happy to connect you with the right fit and i’m happy to answer any questions.

Stories of impact: this month’s story is about my clients A+M.

Through my real estate journey I have had the opportunity to work with and help some incredible clients. I wanted to share the success story of my clients A+M. A+M were originally living in Smithville, They had come to me wanting to sell their home and purchase in the Welland/Fonthill area. The reason being was they needed to be closer to family and wanted to start a family of their own. Buying and selling a home at the same time can be a stressful process. Many homeowners are not sure whether to buy or sell first so let’s get into it. Originally our plan was to view homes of interest that fit their criteria - they offered on a number of properties but included a “sale of property” condition - this condition was to ensure they were protected and had the necessary time to sell their property prior to firming up on their new property.

They ended up losing out on their offers due to this sale of property condition, so we had to put a plan in place that would ensure they weren’t continuing to miss out on their desired new home. By this time the busy Spring market was upon us and inventory was flooding in. We had decided to put their home up on the market which had sold within a very short time period of 10 days. Something that is very important was to ensure the closing date was 60+ days out, this would allow them to have 2+ months of searching for their dream property without worrying about their home selling. It would also allow them to come in with a “cleaner offer” (less conditions). They ended up purchasing their dream property in Fonthill and trusted the process the entire way! I am so happy to have them in Fonthill & to make things even better they just welcomed a sweet baby boy into their family. If you are reading this and considering selling your home and starting a new chapter, let’s connect!

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
