It is a Balanced Real Estate Market | Waccabuc Real Estate

The lower mainland Real Estate market is in an equilibrium with sales surging 11.9 percent compared to June 2012 for single family detached homes, condos and townhomes. This increase is the greatest increase in the last 2 years. In May, residential sales volume climbed a mere 1 per cent in Greater Vancouver, following a 19-month stretch of year-over-year declines in the number of properties sold.

Last month, 2,642 Greater Vancouver properties changed hands on the Multiple Listing Service, compared with 2,362 sales in June of 2012. This increase is still 22 percent lower than the 10 year average for June.

The prices are reported to have dropped marginally by 3 percent as reported by the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board.

The Real Estate market has shown 4 straight months of growth albeit we are coming from a really slow and lacklustre pace. It appears that the buyers have finally started to make their move after holding out for months and months. In any given market and at any stage, sellers want the most money for their property and the buyers want to offer the least amount possible. In the last 6 months, it appeared that the buyers were holding out and were not making their move hoping for the prices to bottom out even more.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches. But they still provide a window into who's winning the battle for eyeballs -- an important consideration for brokers and agents in deciding where to spend their marketing dollars.
