Market Update

Best June Ever
 
July 6, 2007 - Last month the Toronto Real Estate Market recorded 10,451 sales for the best June performance ever, Toronto Real Estate Board President Donald Bentley announced today. "June's figure was up almost 20% over the 8730 sales recorded during the same month in 2006, and down only slightly (6%) from May's best-ever figure of 11,146 sales. To get some idea of the current strength of the market: there have been more sales in the last two months (21,597) than occurred in all of 1977 (20,512), thirty years ago this year."
 
While the sales pace remained brisk, average prices declined marginally (less than 1%) from May to $381,963. The year-to-date average was $373,719, up 5% over the first six months of 2006 ($356,977).
 
"Price increases remain only modest," noted the President. "Inventory, at 21,789, is robust enough to keep a lid on upward inflation. The current market is still accessible to first-time buyers, and should continue in this mode for the foreseeable future."

Just for Fun...

Really, Really Bad Jokes

Two guys, one old and one young, are pushing their carts around the local grocery store when they collide with each other. The old guy says to the young guy, “Sorry about that, but I’m looking for my wife and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going”. The young guy says, “That's okay - it may be a coincidence but I’m looking for my wife, too. I can't seem to find her anywhere and I'm starting to feel a bit worried”. The old guy says, “Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like”? The young guy says, “Well, she is 24 years old, 5’ 10” tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes and long legs. She's wearing tight white shorts and a halter top. What does your wife look like”? The old guy says, “Oh, it doesn't really matter... let's look for your wife”.
