Inventory shortage only thing that’s low in Chatham-Kent hot real estate market By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Chatham-Kent’s red-hot real estate market of 2016 remains sizzling – for most of those selling their homes. But it can be ice cold for people looking to buy, as inventory has thinned out. There just aren’t enough homes for sale right now to placate the buyers, according to Kristi Willder, president of the Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors. “It’s very challenging to be a buyer. I have a couple of buyers who have lost out on a few bids,” she said. “There are multiple offers on homes. Some of the homes are even selling over list price.” The market is so hot on homes in the $120,000$300,000 range that some
are sold shortly after they are listed, Willder said. “Some homes list one day and by the next there’s an offer on the table. If it’s a cash offer, they’re selling that day,” she said. “If it has conditions, it’s usually within 10 days.” Willder said the C-K real estate market went from being buyer friendly to seller friendly very quickly, adding low interest rates encourage people to purchase as opposed to rent. The average price of homes sold in February was $179,485, up 16.6 per cent from February 2016. This was the second highest level on record. The year-to-date average price was $175,703, rising 14.3 per cent from the first two months of the year. There were 242 active residential listings on the
association’s MLS system at the end of February. That’s down more than 50 per cent from February of 2016 and marks the lowest level on record for for-sale inventory at this time of the year. Willder said the market is also heavy with firsttime buyers, or people moving out of their first home into their next. It’s not just local buyers spending the money to pick up the homes, Willder said. She said a survey last fall indicated nearly 40 per cent of the homes sold in Chatham-Kent were purchased by outof-town buyers. “Some are moving here. Some are purchasing rental properties,” she said. “With our low housing prices, people are moving because they can afford a house here.” Continued on page 13
