Home Sales Keeping Even Keel

Tuesday, 21 February 2012 06:35

The President of the Woodstock & Ingersoll District Real Estate Board says home sales remained steady through December & January. But despite the even keel, Laurie Goldhawk says that was no match for an impressive January in 2011. She says supply and demand have put the market into perspective so far in 2012 as low interest rates remain in place. Goldhawk says 2012 home sales last month hit 59, an 18 per cent decline from January 2011. The average price of a home was $216.534 - an increase of 5.9 per cent from the same month a year earlier.
