What was the real estate market for houses and condos like in Summerside a neighbourhood in south London in 2009 and what to expect for 2010?

Houses in Summerside
From January 01, 2009 to December 31, 2009, 82 houses in Summerside exchanged hands and it took an average of 62 days for houses to sell. The majority were 2 storey houses.
The average asking price was $261,705 and those that sold, did so for 98% of asking which was $282,219. Condos in Summerside: In the same time period, 17 condos sold in 59 days with the average asking price of $200,247 and the actual selling price average was $195,000 which is 97%.
Averages are a good starting point to understand the swings in price; but you must compare apples with apples . There is a lot of new construction of houses so that is why you will see longer days on the market. For an in depth report, give Ty a call.
What Does This All Mean? For Sellers:
Summerside in London is becoming quite stable because of its proximity to the 401 and major industries.
Economists are predicting real estate in the London region may increase 8-9% in 2010 and interest rates to increase as high as 6%. Summerside will be a neighbourhood that may see these price increases because of the amenities and the inventory of homes for sale
. I cannot predict the future; however; in any market, clean, quality homes that are priced well sell quickly. Those who are testing the market or not facing reality as to the real value of their home, languish on the market, take longer to sell and for far less than the correct price which the home should have been marketed for in the first place.
Why do some homes sell in 7-10 days and others 55-75 days? It is what I call the 3 P's of real estate. Price, Product and Promotion.
