Michelle's Outlook Residential Market Update for April 2014

April 2014

0 Sold Properties - list prices:  $0

2 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year):  $129,000 - $235,000

vs. March 2014

4 Sold Properties -  list prices:  $154,000 - $228,700

6 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year): $78,500 - $439,000

Interesting, looks like we had a slump in the Outlook market for sales and new listings for April.  This is surprising as we are now finally entering some warmer weather and traditionally the prime selling season.  In March the market seemed to really heat up.  But if we look closely we will notice that there were only 2 new listings in April to the Outlook market (had not been previously listed in the past year) so it may be a lack of houses for sale and not necessarily a lack of buyers.  As a seller this is good news as your house has less competition and possibly bad news if there is not as many people looking right now as compared with March, we have yet to see what the spring season will bring.  Personally I have noticed a rise in buyers looking within the last couple of weeks so I am guessing that we will see Outlook sales pick up quite a bit in May.

Overview: Currently listed in Outlook we have 28 homes for sale and 46 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.  In March we had 25 homes for sale and 41 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.

Michelle's Outlook Residential Market Update for February 2014

Looking Back:
Although our fall and winter seems to be slow we are actually on par with sold properties from 2012.  I searched July 1st 2012 - Feb 28 of 2013 and came up with 19 sold properties in the Outlook area.  Comparing to July 1st 2013 - Feb 28 of 2014 we had 20 sold properties in the Outlook area.  
Still no properties sold as of yet in Outlook this year (sales goes by completion day/possession day - a property is not considered officially sold till ownership changes hands) and this is low in comparison to sales from Last Year.  Last year we seen 2 properties sold in January and 1 vacant lot that sold in February.

Looking Forward:
March last year we did see 2 properties sold in Outlook, let's see how similar our March is this year.  I am guessing it will be equal or higher to 2 properties sold.

February 2014

0 Sold Properties - original list prices:  $0

3 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year):  $154,000 - $229,900

vs. January 2014

0 Sold Properties -  original list prices:  $0

1 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year): $147,900

Comparison from January to February we can see that there are a few more people listing their homes this past month which would be expected as it gets closer to spring.

Overview: In total we had 5 properties listed in February, 3 of which were new to the market, 1 vacant lot relisted, and 1 acreage in the area listed.

Currently listed in Outlook we have 16 homes for sale and 24 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.  January we had 19 homes for sale and 25 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.

Michelle's Outlook Residential Market Update for January

Michelle's January market update for Outlook residential properties:

January 2014

0 Sold Properties -  original list prices:  $0

1 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year): $147,900

vs. December 2013

1 Sold Properties - original list prices:  $264,000

3 New Listings (has not been previously listed in the past year):  $91,900 - $387,500

Comparison from December to January would look as if we slowed down a bit from December and all that cold weather may have had an impact!  Lets see what February has to offer with spring getting closer and hopefully some warmer weather to get people in the home shopping mood.

Overview:  Although we only had 1 brand new listing come up on the market we did see 7 properties in total relisted. 

Currently listed in Outlook we have 19 homes for sale and 25 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.  This is a decrease from December which had 24 homes for sale and 27 including vacant lots and nearby acreages.  This shows us that many properties listing time had expired.  I would guess that some of these home owners may leave their property off the market for a month until the market heats up again.
