Meet streetseed.com - This site is Fantastic!

Trista Anderson — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:46:00 GMT

While stumbling around on the internet a few months ago I found streetseed.com and fell in love! This is everything a buyer needs to find their home, see all of the regular details AND see average area sales prices, homes for sale right around it with details and pricing, look at which schools are close (and the ratings of the schools), the average price per square foot for the area (and if the one you are looking at is inline with current prices or too high/much lower) view area demographics and tour the area with google streetview! All on the same page!

To find out this amount of information a typical buyer (and Realtors) will have to search and open atleast 5 windows - and then make notes and manually compare each listing against each other.

I absolutely love this site and Trevor Wolfe at StreetSeed has been extremely helpful in providing me with information and going out of his way to try to integrate this type of information on my website, www.therighthome.ca. While we do not have all of the kinks worked out yet I am optimistic that this will soon be available.

Please take a minute and check out this site - if you are looking for a home this puts Realtor.ca to shame!

Average Price from $143,815 to $187,342 in 4 months?!

Trista Anderson — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:52:00 GMT

Well, this seems to combat the pervasive idea that Windsor real estate is free.. starting in February 2011 the average price for a residential home in Windsor and Essex County was at its lowest in over 3 years at $143,815. In the past few months we have seen an unexpected increase in not only price (to a high of $187,342 in June 2011 - the highest it has been in the 8 years that I have been selling homes) but in sales volume also.

In June 2011 we surpassed 500 home sales for a 30 day period. The Windsor/Essex County Real Estate board has not posted numbers that high since 2004. So what, exactly, is going on? Have we rounded the corner? Is there a 'bubble' coming? Not only are average sales prices up but so are actual sales. This must be the end of the world... Okay, that might be a bit much

In my humble opinion we are sitting in a 'perfect storm' of opportunity in our area. After years of bad press, shutdowns, layoffs, an implementation of the H.S.T. (which does not effect most home sales but the myth persists) and Windsor Star panic inducing opinion columns we are finally seeing a break in the clouds. Our area is slated for major projects either underway or on the way - including a new jail, bridge/roadway development, aquatic centre, massive green-based technology endeavors and new St.Clair college and University of Windsor locations in our downtown core. These are only some of the projects and are cause for great celebration. Unfortunately, even these economically stimulating projects do not fully explain the reason for a $43,527 price increase. Not even close...

What has happened (again, in my opinion but based on hard, verifiable numbers) is the number of lower priced homes selling has dropped dramatically. More homes over the $180,000 mark have been selling and the higher end (over $350,000) market has bounced back. I would love for the numbers coming out of the board to mean my home is now worth $40k more than it was in February but it is simply untrue. Buyers are still very savvy and know what is overpriced for the area - it is just instead of scooping up the student rentals and power of sales at $60,000 to $90,000 buyers are now finding great deals in homes that were once out of their price range, either by choice or due to employment concerns/layoffs.

Now, the economic stability is helping buyers feel more secure in their employment and therefore more likely to feel they are able to purchase the higher priced homes without putting a financial strain on their own pocketbook. New revenue streams for families and increased area employment opportunities are now here. The great deals right now on the homes themselves is also partly what is fueling the increase in sales and price point. There are other factors helping to fuel the steady increase of prices and sales volume but, for now, I believe these are the most liable reasons.

Let's hope the upward trend continues and we have a great 2011 year for Windsor real estate - it has been awhile in the making!

If you have any comments or opinions feel free to post them, this is an open forum and I love to hear other perspectives

Thanks! Trista

Downtown Windsor getting a revamp

Trista Anderson — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:45:00 GMT

Some great news for Downtown Windsor - students will be relocated, vacant buildings filled and they are planning the controversial waterpark/50 metre pool. I am not so sure about a pool/library combination - that seems like an odd pairing. I am also a little surprised they did not concentrate a little more on cleaning up the area adjacent to the casino BUT atleast we are moving in a progressive direction. That has to be a positive!

I am also wondering what this will do for the downtown student housing situation - or lack thereof...now looks like a good time to get in on the ground floor. Attn Investors :) You can email me @ trista_anderson@live.ca for a list of viable properties anytime.

Take a look at the Windsor Star article and let me know what you think - any ideas they are not implementing you would like to see?
