St. John’s Newfoundland Real Estate July MLS Stats
As expected the rea
l estate market for St. John’s and surrounding areas noticed a little slow down in July. Housing inventory appeared to be on the rise as well as the number of price reductions. The number of listings are up 4% this year compared to the same time last year and the number of sales are down 10%. Personally I think this is a little “blimp” in the market and should be no cause for concern. Majority of the houses sold in and around St. John’s were in the $260,000 to $349,900 range. There have been 6 houses that sold this year over the 1 million figure.

St. John’s Real Estate July Housing Starts
Just released from CMHC: Housing Now publications press release for housing starts in Newfoundland and Labrador.
“Urban housing starts decreased during the month of July, according to preliminary released today by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). July’s housing starts totaled 176 throughout the St. John’s area versus 216 starts in July of 2009. There were 19 additional starts recorded outside the St. John’s area, for a total of 195 provincial urban starts compared to 270 last July. Year to- date, starts remain positive, with 998 recorded in the St. John’s region versus 875 last year.
“July’s decline in the number of new homes started is in line with the current forecast and the expectation that starts will slow over the remainder of 2010,” said Chris Janes, senior market analyst with CMHC in Newfoundland and Labrador. “New home demand was steady in the first half of 2010, but will continue to be lower in the coming months, due to recent price growth and record high home prices,” added Janes.
In urban centres across Canada, total housing starts increased 34 per cent with 15,195 recorded in July compared to 11,313 during July of 2009. Throughout Atlantic Canada, there were 1,208 urban housing starts posted versus 954 the previous July, an increase of 27 per cent.”
