December Stat Pack & 2017 Forecast

January 13th, 2017
Just like that, another year in the books! Everyone might feel like they are a little worse for wear, however, there were some winners out there. Move up home buyers enjoyed a great market where they could take advantage of stable entry level prices and get a deal on their new home. First time home buyers that have been waiting on the fence managed to get some good deals on their new home as ...

September Stat Pack

October 7th, 2016
The light at the end of the tunnel??? Might be a little ambitious to think that, however, the detached segment has stabilized (somewhat). Flat for 2 months in a row? Let’s call that a win! It is the detached properties that have shown some resilience throughout this downturn so we shouldn’t be surprised that the value has held fairly well.
