Markham Market Takes A Dip In May

June 21, 2017 By Martin MacFarlane Leave a Comment

It seems the real estate market in Markham has finally cooled after what seemed to be never ending record price growth, month after month.  The government’s fair housing regulations have definitely had an impact.  While the market is still quite healthy, things have changed and there’s no telling how long this will last before things pick up again.  The average price for a detached home in April was $1,204,092 and dipped to just $1,096,131 with the highest impact seen in higher end homes.

Compared to last May, prices were still up 9.8% and 21.2% year-to-date.  The average time it took for a home to sell was also quite reasonable at 11 days but the biggest difference was the large increase in new listings, up over 28% compared to last May.  This is likely due to large number of sellers rushing to market to try and take advantage of the pique price growth but unfortunately, it’s already too late.

The question is, if you’re planning to sell, do you put your home on the market now and try to take advantage of today’s price if things continue to trend downward or wait it out on the hunch that this dip is only short term.  Nobody can really say for sure as there’s a lot of uncertainty in the market at the moment.  The one thing I can say for sure is that it’s a great time to buy, if you don’t have anything to sell but if you do, it would certainly be a wise move to put your home on the market first and buy second with our inventory on the rise.
