Ennismore and Selwyn Real Estate Market in a Snapshot for 2014

I finished 2014's Real Estate Market scratching my head a bit. It seems to me the months that I should have been very busy I was very slow and the slow months were the busy months. I do wonder how much the 2013/2014 winter played into those factors.

Over all I would say the year was successful for myself and the market in whole.

Here is the interesting numbers for 2014:

List my House now? Really?

"I am waiting until spring to list my house when it looks the best" I hear this statement all the time and they are dead wrong. Now is the time to list especially if you live in the City of Peterborough.

Listings (inventory) is extremely low right now. Most current listings that have been around for a while so imagine the excitement that is caused when a new listing hits the market. It is craziness! Today you will get more for your house then you will ever get in the spring market, even more then when your house looks its best in June. That is because there is a ton if listings hit the market in May/June. You will be ahead of the pack.

Best part of selling your home now is the closing will be when all the new listings are hitting the market and you get your choice of the new batch! You will also be in better bargaining position because there is so much more inventory!

So give me a call, and lets get started on your 2015 move!

Snowmobile ride on January 7th from Bancroft

 

 

 

On Thursday we got out for the first ride of the year. We dropped in Birds Creek just out side of Bancroft on the B106E Trail.

 

 

 

We followed the B106E through Maynooth, stopped for a quick picture of the old rail station and continued onto E109 which was groomed.

 

E109 was fresh groomed to Papineau Lake Transfer Station then we hit fresh fluffy snow with no trail. We broke trail until we were about 10 miles out of Combermere and we met a groomer heading towards Papineau Lake. We encountered a few obstacles when we were breaking trail but nothing to serious.

 

 

 

We drove into Barry's Bay, had lunch/dinner and carried on to B102 which is railbeds mostly. They were smooth and quick. I fear for the weekend riders as the snow was thin Thursday so I doubt the trails will be much good with the traffic.
