~ May Is TREB's Best Month - Ever ~

Monday, June 5, 2006 - With 9434 sales recorded last month, May 2006 has proven to be the best month ever recorded in the 86 year history of the Toronto Real Estate Board, TREB President John Meehan announced today. "The May figure is up over two per cent from May 2005, when 9209 sales were recorded, and up almost two per cent over the previous best ever month, June 2004, when 9275 sales were recorded. The Toronto re-sale market is as healthy as it has ever been."

The president noted that the average price came in at $365,537 last month, compared to April's $366,683. "The key is that 17,685 new listings came onto the system in May, which pushed total inventory levels to 26,220 active listings at month-end. Both figures are up considerably over their year ago levels (seven and five per cent, respectively), and this is keeping price inflation to a reasonable level."

Average Days-On-Market in May was 30 days.

~ In Lieu Of A Joke ~

As you may remember, the Head of a company survived the horror of the World Trade Centre on 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that day. Another fellow is alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike due to an auto accident.

One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled & didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.

So if you're stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... all the little things that annoy you - think instead that you're exactly where you're supposed to be at this very moment.

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated - Life is at work watching over you. May you continue to be blessed with all these annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose in your life.
