APRIL RESALE ACTIVITY HEALTHY

Year-to-Date Statistics Positive Across the Board

WINNIPEG - The real estate market is either very, very good … or really, really suspect … depending on which headlines you choose to read.

It’s difficult to decide what’s really happening from the sound bites, but the numbers on the resale market for the first 4 months of the year paint a fairly rosy picture. Statistics for the first third of the year are up from comparable numbers last year, and last year recorded the 4^th best resale numbers in the past 20 years and the best dollar volume ever through the Multiple Listing Service®.

                                          

The April MLS® listing inventory, the number of properties available for sale in Winnipeg, rose almost 36%. So buyers had more properties to choose from than last April (5,232), which indicates more balance in the marketplace.

Listings entered into the MLS® system were also up 23% over last April, with the addition of 2,837 properties this year.

Sales followed suit. The number of sales processed in the month was up close to 4% from last April, with 1,273 sales recorded. And dollar volume was up 8.8% at $362.3 million. 

The April numbers helped maintain positive year-to-date market stats. 8,336 listings have been entered on the MLS® system since January 1^st - up 25% from last year - and 3,538 sales have been recorded - up 4% from the same period in 2014.

The January through April dollar volume is up 6.5% at $962.4 million.

The most active price range in April for residential detached homes was $250,000 - $299,999 (22% of sales), followed by the $200,000 - $249,999 range (16%).

An average day on the market was 27, compared to 26 last April. The highest priced residential detached sale fetched $1,590,000 and the least expensive sale was $8,000.

The most active price range for condos was $150,000 - $199,999 (25% of sales) followed closely by the $200,000 - $249,999 range (22%). Days on market for condos was 49, compared to 38 last year with the highest priced condo going for $630,000 and the lowest priced sale at $244,579

Reno Investments Providing the Highest Returns

There is no question that renovations can be a complex and time-consuming. That is why it is important that renovations are looked at on an individual basis to determine the best areas to invest in to ensure you get the highest return when you sell your home.  You – as a homeowner – want to ensure that any improvement you make to your home will add as much value as possible.

According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, the renovations that provide the best return on resale are typically cosmetic improvements, such as painting and decorating, where there is limited capital outlay.  However, when it comes to cosmetic renovations, homeowners should take caution to not overly personalize the renovations because it could adversely affect the property’s function or market appeal to the general public.

Also very important to note is the actual quality of work completed.  The savvy home purchaser now notices when work is not done well.  Whether or not you are planning to sell your home, you should ensure that the work done is satisfactory, adheres to the local building codes and is done to completion.

When homeowners decide to renovate, they usually take one of two approaches. Some homeowners decide to renovate simply because it is something they've personally wanted, for example a pool or a skylight in the bathroom, which doesn't typically yield high return on investment.  Other homeowners take the “investor” approach – perhaps replacing old countertops, cabinets or the roof, for the specific purpose of increasing the overall market value of their home.
