St. John’s Newfoundland MLS Stats for December 2011
As the end of 2011 came to a close we saw the “normal” slow down leading up to Christmas. Typically new listings and offers slow til after the holidays yet the stats for “sales closed” increase. You can see this below as most of the listing to sales ratios for selected areas are well over 100%.
2011 ended up being a good year for real estate in St. John’s. We saw modest gains and lots of the listing inventory dried up. Expired listings were well up from previous years. Average time on the market for a house as 2011 ended was approximately 70 days. It’s still officially a buyers market according to the latest CMHC report, but my thoughts are it will become a nicely balanced market as we approach spring/summer. Let’s hope we actually get a summer this year in St. John’s unlike last year. 
As I mentioned last month, there are still a lot of buyers in the market place. RE/MAX’s Canadian Housing Market Estimates for 2012 state that we should see a 5% increase in housing price for St. John’s and surrounding area this year.
