Setting Records
We are setting records all across the country lately. However these seem to be more of the unfortunate records than the ones we can be proud of accomplishing. Records are being set daily now for the amount of Covid-19 cases we are seeing. Records levels of hospitalizations and record levels of restrictions.
Towards real estate the business that I am personally associated with on a daily basis, there are records here as well. We have record levels of home prices, up over 25.3% year over year. We also set a record for the amount of transactions across the country at 630,634 which is an increase of 14.158% versus the previous record year, and this did not include Dec of 2021. All of this while we experience record low levels of listings available for new buyers, which further pushes up the prices.
So now instead of focusing on the records which are not going to serve us, we should focus on setting some personal records of our own. Set a record of focusing on your family during the holidays by putting aside your electronic devices. Focus on getting along and love and compassion as we can all use more of that. Lastly focus on becoming the best version of yourself for now and into the future.
Today I am thankful for a refreshing walk with my dog earlier today, for my friend in Montreal who is celebrating his birthday today and for my gift wrapping helper who made it much more enjoyable.
I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
