As Yahoo has reported in their story titled “Canada home resales dip from July, up from year ago” sales and prices of existing homes have increased in August of 2009 as compared to the same month last year. This represents a strong housing market from coast to coast with Nineteen of the 25 major markets that CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association) tracks showed increased sales activity. The greater Vancouver area showed the largest increase with a jump of 117% in year over year sales increases.
CREA said The industry group said a total of 42,483 homes changed hands in August of 2009 across the country, up 18.5% from the same month last year. The average price rose 11.3 percent from August 2008 to $324,779. Last month, CREA revised its 2009 residential property outlook, saying that home prices will likely rise and should stabilize.

Too busy to write anything!
Well I took my course to officially become a licensed broker and wrote the exam last Friday. Meanwhile I have been so busy listing and selling homes that I have had to neglect the blog! I apologize to all of my faithful readers but I have tried to keep you all updated via the twitter feed although even that has been neglected recently. Just to give you an idea of how busy I have been, during my course that ran from the 17th of August to the 28th, 9AM to 4PM I worked until 11PM or later just about every night even neglecting studying! Thankfully I managed to take a couple of days prior to the exam that was on the 4th of September(LAST FRIDAY) to study. During the course and during the week I was supposed to be studying I was working on 8 deals and showing properties to 2 different sets of clients that were each on a time crunch! So you can see why I have been neglegant of the blog. I hope to put some good posts up the first of next week. Until then I will have trouble finding time. Have a great weekend Halifax!
