When it comes to purchasing a home, most people don’t know where to begin. Usually, people who are interested in moving to a particular area will contact a Century 21 office located near where they intend to move. This is by far the easiest and most streamlined approach to purchasing a home. However, some people feel as if they have the ability to purchase a home without the help of a realtor. While it is possible, it is highly recommended to enlist the help of a professional – it will save you time, money and headaches in the long run.

If you try to purchase a home on your own and aren’t positive about the details of home buying/selling, you could very well end up losing money on the deal. With all the hidden costs and potential misses that can occur when you purchase a home (especially if it isn’t a new home), you want to be sure you’re getting the best deal possible. Putting the responsibility in your hands entirely is generally considered to be a bad idea.

Real estate agents are highly trained in the market, and know the ins and outs of the business, including what to look for when purchasing a home and how to get you the best price possible. Without the help of a realtor, you may well miss these important yet subtle details. A realtor will make the process of buying a home more fun , exciting and a lot less stressful. Buyers should always consider using a professional real estate agent as opposed to going it alone.

“The stats have been up for six months running,” says Richard Thyssen, 2010 LSTAR President. “Listings are up as well, 20.6% for detached homes and 6.3% for condos.

That’s good news for our Spring market and for our local economy as a whole, given the considerable economic spin-off of real estate sales.”

61 homes sold in London’s Sister City of St. Thomas in March, up 10.9% over last year, for the average price of $181,787. “In the case of both St. Thomas and London, it’s a question of recovering lost ground rather than any kind of boom,” says Thyssen.

“That’s the beauty of this market. It’s resilient. In 2009, which was a bad year for everyone, we saw a dip in sales of only 3.42% overall, compared to 2008. Now, we’re pretty much back where we were before the financial meltdown & gaining momentum.”

An increase in average house price also points to recovery. Year-to-date the average price of a detached home was up 8.3% to $239,101; while the average price of a condo yearto- date was up 15% to $170,303.

Despite price gains, London remains affordable when compared to other Canadian centres.

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association’s Major Market MLS® Statistical Survey for January 2010 (the most current available), the average price year-to-date for:

• London and St. Thomas $225,983
• Calgary $397,518
• Durham Region $289,195
• Edmonton $317,920
• Hamilton-Burlington & District $287,414
• Kitchener-Waterloo $296,735
• Ottawa $318,425
• St. Catharine’s & District $239,152
• Toronto $409,058
• Greater Vancouver $639,074
