Interestingly enough, some of the real star performers of last year relate to property type, dropped off in the first month this year in comparison to activity the same month a year ago. Sales of single-attached were off 25% while condominiums dropped 16%. And vacant lots and mobile homes both decreased 8%. The saving grace was the 4% increase in single family homes which accounts for the lion’s share of all MLS® sales. For example in 2011 this dominant property type comprised 74% of all MLS® sales.

Rural sales in particular stood out in January as represented 29% of all single family home sales.

January MLS® sales were down just 2 properties (564/566) while dollar volume was up 7% ($133.3 million/$124.5 million) in comparison to the same month last year. New listings entered on the MLS® in January of 1,045 were off 8% from January 2011.

“We do not read a lot into one of our slowest months of the year,” said Shirley Przybyl, president of WinnipegREALTORS®. “It is fair to say however that is does track well in line with our 2012 MLS® forecast where we predict MLS® sales holding the line with last year’s 13,000 plus  performance and that dollar volume will still move up higher due to tight market conditions remaining firmly entrenched in 2012.” She added, “The extremely low interest rate environment will continue to be a real incentive for first–time buyers to get into the housing market.”

The most active residential-detached price ranges were almost evenly divided amongst three between $150,000 to $299,999. Together these sales represented 51% of total sales. Close behind the three price ranges was $100,000 to $149,999 with 15% of total sales. Condominium sales were a different story with only one price range from $150,000 to $199,999 making up 43% of all sales.

The average days on market to sell a home in January was 42 days, 2 weeks slower than last month and the same pace as January 2011. The average days on market for condominium sales was 35 days, 2  weeks slower than last month and 3 days quicker than January 2011.

A real encouraging sign in December, as well as the year as a whole, was the improvement in MLS® inventory. New listings in the last month of the year were over 600 for the second year in a row. Total listings entered on MLS® in 2011 went over 18,000 for the first time in many years. The distinct advantage of more choice of new MLS® listings this December was a factor in almost catching the best annual sales on record in 2007. It is worth noting 2011 is only the second time WinnipegREALTORS® has hadMLS® sales go over 13,000.

December MLS® unit sales increased 7% (698/653) while dollar volume shot up 19% ($182.0 million/$153.0 million) in comparison to the same month last year. 2011 MLS® unit sales ended up 7% (13,065/12,236) while dollar volume rose 12% ($3.06 billion/$2.73 billion) in comparison to the 2010. The 18,381 listings entered on MLS® in 2011 were up 3% from 2010 and conversion of these listings to sales finished at 71%, an improvement too over the previous year where it had fallen under 70 %.

“Pleasantly surprised and pleased at how we finished 2011 would be an accurate reflection of how we feel given our expectations were more muted at the beginning of the year,” said Ralph Fyfe, outgoing 2011 president of WinnipegREALTORS®. “As the year progressed it became evident momentum was on our side and it carried us all the way through to a record dollar volume year and a near miss on achieving a new benchmark for sales.”

Here is how things shook out in terms of the different MLS® property types. Residential-detached closed the year out with a 6% increase in sales over 2010. The over 9600 sales transacted represented 74% of total MLS® market share. Condominiums reached their highest level ever at close to 1,600 sales and were up 10% over 2010. These sales account for another 12% of MLS® activity in 2011. The biggest improvement however in sales as far as property types goes is the 27% increase in vacant lots from 414 in 2010 to 525 in 2011.

Owing to the outstanding MLS® residential-detached sales activity in the Steinbach MLS® area where sales alone exceeded 500, the rural MLS® areas grabbed 24% of all MLS® residential-detached sales. The southwest quadrant of Winnipeg was second at 19%.

As for average residential-detached sales prices for the different quadrants of the city and for rural municipalities, there is a significant spread between the highest and lowest prices. The southwest quadrant of Winnipeg is $341,461 while West Winnipeg, neighbourhoods north of the Assiniboine River and west of the downtown finished at $202,152. Winnipeg’s southeast quadrant for the first time reached $300,000 and rural municipalities ended up third highest at $250,000. The overall average residential-detached price reached its highest level on record at $256,748. It is up 6% from 2010.

“When we say all real estate markets are local it certainly applies to Winnipeg and is readily apparent when you see how divergent some of the prices are within the overall market region,” said Fyfe. “The most important statistic to you is the home you are selling or buying so you really do need to enlist a REALTOR® - a local expert – to interpret and assess your particular situation and advise you accordingly.”

The most active residential-detached price range in December was from $200,000 to $249,999 at 19% of total residential-detached sales activity. In sharp contrast, the most active condominium price range was from $150,000 to $199,999 at 53% of total condominium sales activity. For the year, the same price ranges were dominant for the aforementioned property types with percentages of 23% and 42% respectively.

The average days on market for residential-detached sales in December was 28 days, 1 day slower than last month but 5 days quicker than December 2010. As for the year, the average days on market was 26 days, just a day faster than 2010. For condominiums, the average days on market to sell in December was only 21 days, 11 days quicker than last month and 9 days faster than December 2010. For the entire year, the average days on market for condominiums was 29 days, one day faster than 2010.

The highest residential-detached sale price in 2011 was $1,750,000 while the lowest was just $14,000. The highest condominium sale price was $649,900 and the lowest was $35,000.

More detail on the year that was in 2011 will be reviewed at WinnipegREALTORS® annual forecast event to be held on Wednesday, January 25^th. Predictions will also be made for MLS® sales activity in 2012.

October 2011 helped get the fourth quarter off to a great start with everything up in  double-digit percentages. New listings rose 11%, sales were ahead by 13% and dollar volume reached 20%. Only 2007, the year that 2011 is nipping at its heels, had better sales in October.

October MLS® unit sales increased 13% (1,076/949) while dollar volume was up 20% ($256.9 million/ $214.2 million) in comparison to the same month last year. Year-to-date MLS® sales are up 7% (11,486/10,754) while dollar volume has increased 12% ($2.67 billion/$2.39 billion in comparison to the same period last year. Nearly 70 % of all MLS® listings entered on the market this year have sold thus far.

“This year has been all about exceeding expectations,” said Ralph Fyfe, president of WinnipegREALTORS®. “One good example is how we were too conservative on projecting our home sales. We underestimated the emergence of heightened listings and sales activity in new developments such as Waverley West, east Transcona, and even in rural hot spots such as Steinbach.”

Another factor is the continuation of very attractive mortgage rates in combination with uncertainty around alternative investments such as the stock market. The last months in particular have been performing exceptionally well. October 2011outperformed the previous 10-year sales average by 10%.

Owing to improvement in the overall number of listings coming on the market in the last few months, inventory has improved and created a more balanced market. One indicator of this development in October is the total sales price to total listing price ratio falling under 100%. This means there is less price pressure on listings and in fact 56% of homes sold in October went for less than list price.

For residential-detached sales in October, the most active price range was from $200,000 to $249,999 with 23% of total sales. The immediate price ranges below and above this one were in a virtual deadlock with 17 and 18% respectively of total sales. October 2011 had one house sale for $1,750,000 in St. Germaine and another million dollar home sell in Fort Garry. Condominium sales activity was dominant in the $150,000 to $199,999 price range with 44% of total sales.

The average days on market to sell a residential-detached home was 29 days, 3 days slower than last month and only one day off the pace set in October 2010. The average days to sell a condominium in October was 26 days, 9 days quicker than last month and 5 days faster than October 2010.

Balmy summer weather in September created summer-like market activity which led to a third consecutive month of over 1200 MLS® sales. As a result, it makes September 2011 WinnipegREALTORS® best September in 108 years. September 2010 was the previous best September on record. The dollar volume was impressive too as it easily eclipsed last year’s record by $30 million. With three months to go, year-to-date MLS® dollar volume stands at over $2.4 billion and MLS® sales of 10,400 are flirting with the best year ever in 2007 when there were over 13,000 MLS® sales by year end.

Call it what you will, a jet -fueled market with our new NHL team ready to take-off this weekend, and exciting new developments including an IKEA, a Canadian Museum for Human Rights, a new football stadium, an expanded Winnipeg Convention Centre and a new airport opening at the end of the month, Winnipeggers are optimistic about what is happening in our city.

Another undeniable factor pointed out by the Canadian Real Estate Association’s chief economist Gregory Klump is due to global economic instability and uncertainty and the increasing volatility in the stock market, interest rates are being kept lower for longer so real estate becomes an attractive alternative investment. Moreover, as CREA president Gary Morse stated in commenting on the August MLS® market results where Winnipeg clearly was one of the best performing markets bar none in the country, … “homebuyers are showing that they remain confident about the stability of the Canadian housing market, and recognize that the continuation of low interest rates represents an excellent opportunity to buy their first home or trade up.”

September MLS® unit sales increased 6% (1,214/1,142) while dollar volume rose 12% ($278.4 million/$248.0 million) in comparison to the same month a year ago. Year-to-date MLS® sales are up 6% (10,410/ 9,805) while dollar volume has increased 11% ($2.42 billion/$2.18 billion) in comparison to the same period last year. Two out of every three of the 15,300 listings entered on the MLS® market this year have sold.

“We did not miss a beat in September as the market continued to pick up right where it left off in August,” said Ralph Fyfe, president of WinnipegREALTORS®. “New listings increased over last September and buyers responded given there were more to choose from.”

Fyfe added, “While some of the provincial election signage may have overshadowed our REALTOR® signs this past month, you can expect to see lots of our member signs out and about in October given the continuing strength of our local real estate market.”

Vacant lots and condominiums continue to be the best performing MLS® property types this year with year-to-date increases of 26 and 14% respectively. Residential-detached sales are up almost 5%.

For residential-detached sales in September, the most active price range by far was the $200,000 to $249,999 with 26% of total sales. The under $100,000 market continues to erode with only 4% of the market and the longest days to sell of 41 days. The average days on market to sell a residential-detached property was 26 days,  2 days quicker than last month and 3 days faster than September 2010.

Condominium sales were dominant in the $150,000 to $199,999 price range with 39% of total sales. Only 2% of sales were under $100,000. Average days on market in September was 35 days, 5 days slower than last month and 2 days off the pace set in September 2010.
