We are pleased to present this latest update on the real estate market reporting activity through the month of March, 2013 for properties located in London, Ontario and surrounding communities.

The Spring Market was off to a slow start in March with home sales down 20.5%. The cooling off impacted detached homes and condos almost equally, with 495 detached homes exchanging hands last month – down 20.5% -- and 117 condos – down 20.4%. Altogether a total of 612 homes sold in March 2013. “We consider March the beginning of the Spring market,” says Doug Pedlar, President of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS®, “but Spring in Canada is not necessarily all that Springlike. March 2012 broke all records for unseasonably warm weather, while March 2013 came in and out like a lion. There are always a lot of factors at work when it comes to whether a market is slow or steady or brisk, but weather is definitely one of them. People like to go out house hunting when the weather is nice, not when it means trudging through a lot of ice and snow.”

New listings were also down 9.4% overall, while inventory – the number of active listings at the end of the month – were down 7.2%.
