After a slow start to 2009 Newmarket homes sales rebounded during the second half of 2009.
Newmarket real estate market to continue strong gains in the first half of 2010 with demand and supply finding balance in the second half of the year.
Newmarket's real estate market is forecast to remain unusually strong through the first half of 2010 as economic conditions across the country improve and the stimulus impact of low interest rates continues to stoke demand, according to today's Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast. As confidence in the recovery builds in early 2010, increases in average house price levels and overall market activity are expected to continue. The gradual erosion of affordability driven by higher house prices and the expected late-year modest upward movement of interest rates, together with an improvement in listings supply as confidence improves, are expected to bring the market back into balance in the second half of the year, when home price increases are expected to moderate.
"The Canadian real estate market enters 2010 with considerable momentum from a unusually strong finish to the previous year, said Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services. "The stimulus effect of low borrowing costs has contributed to a sharp rise in demand that has driven activity levels to new highs. This demand, coupled with a typical seasonal undersupply of homes for sale, should cause home prices to continue to appreciate significantly during the early months of the year. Improving supply as the year unfolds and easing demand as the cost of home ownership rises should moderate home price increases in the second half of 2010."
In contrast to the difficult months during the worst of the recession, house prices appreciated during the later part of 2009, with fourth quarter price averages surpassing averages from the fourth quarter 2008. The average price of detached bungalows rose to $315,055 (up 6.0%), the price of standard two-storey homes rose to $353,026 (up 5.2%), and the price of a standard condominium rose to $205, 756 (up 6.4%). The first two quarters of 2009 saw significant year-over-year price declines across the housing types surveyed and the third quarter provided the first signs saw a strong rebound in Canadian home values.

How to Price your Newmarket Home in Today's Real Estate Market
Setting a price is key to a successful Newmarket real estate sale. But its tough. Buyers are usually well informed about recent events in the Newmarket marketplace. They select homes by comparison shopping and are keenly aware of subtle differences in features and value. In their eyes, your price must be justified in comparison to other available Newmarket homes.
Obtaining the best return for your property requires competitive pricing from day-one. A home should be priced according to recent market data comparisons.
There are a number of factors that influence the value of your Newmarket property:
Prior Sales
Location
Condition
Improvements
Market Conditions
Competitive Market Analysis
Taking these factors into account, we will prepare a competitive market analysis to reflect the current market value of your Newmarket property. It includes an examination of your property as well as a study of competitive properties currently on the market and those that have recently sold. This information helps you to properly position your property.
No Newmarket Realtor can control market value. The selection of a Newmarket listing agent should be based on their service, fees and reputation, not on their estimate of market value. It is the 'invisible hand' of the market that determines the sale price you will ultimately achieve.
Competitive Pricing vs. Overpricing
First impressions are lasting. A Newmarket house realistically priced and properly presented from day-one offers the best opportunity for you to sell quickly and obtain the best price.
Qualified buyers and their agents have been looking in the Newmarket area and waiting for a suitable house at an appropriate price to come on the market. If reasonably priced, it is possible your Newmarket property will sell quickly to waiting buyers.
Competitively priced properties encourage reasonable offers, pleasant negotiations and a smooth closing.
Overpricing costs in terms of money, disappointment, and missed opportunities. If the price is too high , buyers may not even look at an otherwise attractive property.
An overpriced Newmarket property can go stale after the important first few weeks when the home is new on the market and getting the most exposure. Then, when the price is adjusted at a later time, the house is often overlooked.
If you were able to arrange a sale for substantially more than comparable Newmarket properties it may fail to close through difficulty securing an appraisal and mortgage financing.
Shopping for a new Newmarket home can take alot of time out of your busy day.

BUYING HOME CHECKLIST
HOME VALUES
SELLING YOUR HOME ON YOUR OWN - OR USING A REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON
If you are buying a home, then, before you decide on whether this home is your dream home, the following checklist will help you look at prospective homes with a critical eye. We suggest printing this page and putting it on a clipboard. When you find a home that really interests you, mark the features you see and note their general condition on this list.
Home value sometimes referred to as "Value in Use", is best described as the probable price at which a home trades in a free, competitive, and open market and is synonymous with the market value.
If you have decided that now is the time to sell your home, you might be thinking: should I hire a Real Estate Sales Representative or do it alone. Have you ever considered repairing your own car? Anyone can buy the tools and parts. However, most of us just do not have the knowledge, training, experience or the expertise and commitment of time to do the job properly. Besides, there are plenty of experienced professionals to do the work for us.
HOW REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECT YOUR OFFER PRICE
When should I sell my home? Your answer to this question might be right now! If you have taken a job in another city or made an offer on a new home, or had an addition to your family, selling your home fast might be the most important goal you have. Most people, however, have some flexibility when they sell their home. Let us take a closer look at the most important factors that can go into this decision.
A hot market is a "seller’s market". During a seller’s market, properties can sell within a few days of being listed and there are often multiple offers. Sometimes homes even sell above the asking price. Though most buyers want to get a "deal" on a home, reducing your offer by even a few thousand dollars could mean that someone else will get the home you desire.
There are many television shows today that focus on home staging. If you have not watched any, do yourself a favor and tune in. They all say the same thing: do not even consider putting your house on the market until you have taken a close look at its condition. Experienced sales people know that you only have one shot at impressing potential buyers, so take some time to prepare your home for showings. You will be rewarded with a faster sale and a higher offer.
A very accurate saying is that "Any home will sell once you get the price right." Of course, this is usually said from the perspective of dropping a price until it's too attractive to pass up. Actually, the accurate pricing of your home prior to listing is as much an art as it is a science.
Whether buying or selling a home, one activity will be part of the process in all cases and for all involved. Let’s look at the offer to purchase contract and negotiation process from both sides
