Market Update

Best Day - Best Month Ever!
 
May 2, 2007 - With 581 sales reported on April 30, the highest single day total ever documented, April's total transactions reached an astounding 9452, the best single-month total ever recorded, TREB President Dorothy Mason announced today.

"The Greater Toronto Area's resale housing market has showed sustained strength and these phenomenal numbers bode well for the remainder of this year's spring market."

Average prices climbed three per cent in April, to $379,025 from last April's $366,683. "Despite the torrid sales pace," Ms. Mason said.

"Overall price increases are holding at marginally above the inflation rate, which means that potential first-time buyers are not being pushed out of the market."

Just for Fun...

Really, Really Bad Jokes

Stella walked up behind her husband Jack and smacked him sharply on the head with a wooden ruler. Jack winced and said, “Stella why on earth did you do that”? Stella replied. “I told you when I married you that I wouldn’t tolerate you cheating on me. I found a piece of paper in your jacket pocket with the name Betty Sue written on it and I want an explanation”.

Jack laughed and said “For heaven’s sake Stella that was the name of a horse that I bet on in the 6th race at Woodbine yesterday. You know I’d never cheat on you”. A week later Stella smacked Jack on the head again with the ruler but this time she hit him even harder and said. “If you lie to me again Jack I’m leaving you”. “What did I do now”? protested Jack. “Stella replied, “I’m not sure what you’ve done but your horse just called”.
