July Stats and Fall Ramp up

After such an enjoyable summer of great weather it's hard to wrap my mind around fall being just around the corner! Almost time for routine to return and the kiddies to head back to school.
The fall also brings the second busiest time of year in the real estate market. Sept/Oct bring an influx of new listings and buyers wanting to move before the snow flies. (ugh. Snow.).

The summer has been a great one for referrals for me with great clients and friends passing my name along to their friends and family who are thinking of moving. Thanks to KF, R&TS, L&SS, A&LC, and...ahem...my folks... for trusting me enough to pass my name along recently.

If you're looking for something to buy this fall I've got a great bungalow in a family neighbourhood but close to amenities listed for $299,900. Ideal for investors, parents of students heading off to university, families, or empty nesters.
In the future I have clients who may be selling a great raised bungalow in Cambridge backing onto a park, a newer semi-detached home in Waterloo in a great family neighbourhood or a move-in ready bungalow perfect for a family or empty nesters.

If you're looking to sell this fall I have buyers looking for a bungalow in Uptown Waterloo with a good setup for entertaining, a family home in Kitchener with good access to the 401 and a great yard, and a bungalow condo at a reasonable price and a 4 bedroom home in Waterloo in a mature neighbourhood with a good setup for entertaining. Anything sound like it might be a match for you or someone you know? Let me know!

Cute story from one of my clients. P&P's 3 yr old daughter has been a little confused. Everytime they come to see a house they tell her "let's go see Krista!". Poor little one has no clue anymore where I live! lol. She thinks each house she "visits" me at is my house! Love it! What a doll.

In conclusion, here's the link to the July stats for KW. Despite some hiccups in the economy recently (internationally as well as locally-RIM) the housing market continues to be strong and housing starts seem to indicate we'll have a steady housing market into the fall.
