THE JANUARY STATISTICS are shocking.

The London and St. Thomas markets experienced records that are unprecedented to say the least.

Number of home sales: 547 (Average for past 10 years: 450)

Active Listings: 448 (Average for past 10 years: 1,600)

Days of inventory: 24 (Average for past four years: 120)

Average price: $607,431 (Average price 10 years ago: $280,000)

The market is seriously imbalanced. There aren’t enough listings of new homes, resale homes or condos to satiate the market. The pandemic shutdown is making things worse by slowing new permit activity, slowing construction pace and driving up new build costs.

The relative affordability of the regional real estate market is eroding, thus impacting our long-term ability to attract new residents.

We will need a concerted effort on behalf of our municipal government to rapidly increase the pace of approvals for permits and development applications. We must, of course, have smart as well as aggressive growth. The region’s biggest employment sector is the construction industry. That industry can provide a leg up as we try to climb out of this pandemic slump over the next few years.
