Real Estate Recap: September 1, 2021
Residential market analysis and a sampling of high- and low-priced listings in London

THE LAST FEW years were unusual, during which the summer months showed little sign of a sales slowdown. This summer was much calmer and more typical to previous trends. This was likely due to the lockdown ending just as summer began.
As of yesterday, there were 366 active residential listings in London. In the last seven days, 148 residential listings were sold. As these numbers illustrate, we have just over two weeks inventory, continuing the trend of the last two years. Homeowners haven’t flooded the market with listings, meaning the seller’s market continues and limited supply endures. Most agents and mortgage brokers we talk to believe the market will strengthen in the fall, with renewed activity and many more listings.
The status of the Covid-19 situation may help to fuel the rebound. The region has achieved more than 75 per cent full vaccination rate, and that’s just as employers and institutions are beginning to introduce mandates. The provincial government has belatedly announced a vaccine passport system is in development to assist businesses and provide for safe operating procedures.
As we gain renewed confidence in our recovery, we are likely to see sustained economic growth, nearly full employment and a robust real estate market. You may want to take advantage of this short period of calm ― it may not last.
