Guelph Market Update for June 2019
Market Update
We have started our summer now, and this is what’s going on in the Guelph Real Estate Market.
Sales:
As far as the number of sales we’re basically on par from June of last year with 218. That’s just up 1%.
Inventory:
Active inventory is also on par from June of last year with 418 active listings. That’s down 1%. As far as new listings to hit the market we are up 7% from last year, with 335 new listings. I think the main reason for that is that we had such lousy Spring weather this year and it really delayed a lot of people in getting their houses on the market.
Average Sale Price:
The average sale price across all housing types is $550,344 in Guelph. That’s up 7% from what we had in June 2018.
Detached houses: up 6% with an average sale price of $649,206.
Attached houses: up 4% with an average sale price of $461,703.
Condo Style Apartments: up 3% with an average sale price of $353,927.
We’re up in all housing categories. For detached houses, the average sale price now of $649,206 has surpassed our peek that we had in the 2017 market, which is great.
List-To-Sale-Price:
Looking at what houses are selling for as a percentage of list, it’s 99%. That’s the same as last year. We’re not seeing a ton of negotiating. That is going to change depending on what price point you’re in. Then for houses that we’re selling right now, we’re seeing about 25% of those go to multiple offers and sell above asking. That’s down from the 33% that we had last June. Of the houses that are selling above list, 80% of them are going to be listed under that $600,000 with the majority of them being priced between that $400,000-500,000 price point.
Months of Inventory:
We’re up to 1.92 months of inventory. That’s down just slightly from what we had last year. 2 months of inventory puts us in a seller’s market. Now, when you look at the different segments of the market, it does tell different stories. Under that $600,000 price point, it’s a strong seller’s market, especially between that $400,000 and $500,000 price point. Between that $600,000 to a million, we’re in seller’s market but closer to balanced, especially when you go closer to that $1 million price mark. Then when you go over $1 million we transition into a buyers market. That’s normal when you look at Guelph historically in the higher price points.
Summary:
Overall when we look at our market, we’re in a good, steady market. Sales are up slightly from last year but not a ton. Average sale prices continuing to go up month over month which is showing strength in our market. Lowering interest rates & the reduced stress test are going to help stimulate our market. Since we had such a delayed Spring market and such horrible Spring weather. I feel that we’re going to have a fairly steady Summer and then our Spring market will kind of be pushed through. Then we’ll probably see a blip in September and October where things pick up even a little bit further. Then things tend to quickly die down once we get into November towards December, getting towards the holiday season and the Christmas time.
