Issue #30  Jan 22, 2008

The outlook for Newfoundland Real Estate for 2008 will be positively supported by a strong provincial economy, with the average MLS® price forecast to increase 6.4% to $157,500. Remax is suggesting a 12% increase which would put the average price around the $170,000 mark. The expected increase in single detached and two apartment homes can be seen already, and it's very early in the new year.
Currently we are experiencing low housing inventory and a high number of buyers.  Now is the right time to sell your house for maximum value.

I recently read a review of average St. John's House prices from 2002 - 2008 (forecasted) from CMHC.  Good to see the St. John's real estate market on the rise in recent years.

2002 - $113,081      2003 - $119,822     2004 - $131,499
2005 - $141,167      2006 - $139,542     2007 - $148,000
And forcasted for 2008 - $157,500
