At the current rate of sales May 2015 is on track to blow May 2014 out of the water.

Yes, the long weekend and the fantastic weather has really shot those numbers up!

[MarkoJ]

Yea, single family home prices in the core are reaching peak numbers again.

The sales numbers don’t surprise me (first May over 900 sales since 2007!) but the lack of new listings is interesting….my assumption (now wrong) was always that if the market improved sellers that were not able to sell 2010-2014 would bring properties to market, I guess not.

Is this a new record for May or were sales higher at some point in the past?

What caused the huge spike in sales from May 1990 - May 1991?

No idea.  That was before I was paying attention.  

 

These are all VREB numbers.   May 1990 was 441.  May 1991 was 1083

 We bought our first house in April 1991....interest rates were dropping and everyone was partying because they were down from 14% the prior year to around 11%....that's a 3% drop in a year....

[dasmo]

You mean a 21.4% drop in a year!

[dasmo]

Like what is happening this year

[pherthyl]

This more or less sums up the direction of the market.

Wasn't that around the time they introduced RRSP home buyer plan as well?

[pherthyl]

1992 was home buyers plan

[lanforod]

90 to 92 was the best time in the 80's up to 2005 to be a Realtor . 2007/8 was great too.

Might we see 1000 sales this month?

[lanforod]

^ I was so far off my estimate last time I'll go off the wall higher and estimate 1100 .
