the others will be published in an upcoming issue of The Examiner.\u2014 July sales were definitely down Andy 1% dg Westmount real estate is definitely tailing off, it now appears, following the fifth straight month of declining average prices as well as below-average volume.Nine sales in July averaged only 10 per cent above municipal evaluation, down from 36 per cent in June, forcing a sharp drop in the price of the \u2018typical\u2019 Westmount house from roughly $1,225,000 to $1,210,000 \u2014 not a serious drop until one realizes that the house was worth $1,285,000 in February and almost $1,325,000 last November.Highest price in July was $2 million, but only three sales topped the $1 million mark, pushing down the average price to $956,611 \u2014 the lowest raw average price since August 2007, almost a year ago.Three houses sold below municipal valuation, with one selling at less than 80 per cent of its tax value.The highest markup was 42 per cent, but in fact that is the lowest monthly maximum in the past year.The nine home sales averaged 120 days on the market, well above average (109) for the year and much higher than the 106-day average for all of last year.Newer listings are taking longer to sell and three of the July sales had been on the market for more than 200 days each, including two of the sales which went under municipal evaluation.Three condominiums sold in July, including one at 1 Wood Avenue which brought a price of more than $1.5 million, the highest price for a condo since October, 2006.The lowest price of $430,000 was still high for condos generally, offering an encouraging sign that those prices may not be in the same decline as for single-family homes.One house and two upper duplexes sold in the Cote des Neiges district just north of Westmount, and one downtown townhouse sold for a healthy $1,887,500.So far this year house prices in all adjacent-Westmount districts appear to be up by anywhere from 6 to 16 per cent, and in fact condominium prices in the Côte des Neiges sector are up even more than that, though in every case the numbers are fairly small so the individual statistics can be somewhat misleading.July and August are generally among the slowest months of the year for sales and prices generally dip as the market clears out from its spring fervor, so it will be important to see how the market fares in late September and October.NOTE: The preceding article relates to offers to purchase Westmount residential dwellings which were reported by the local real estate agents as having been accepted in July, 2008.Because they are not final registered sales, the addresses and prices cannot be made public, but give a good idea of current trends in local real estate activity.Westmount Wellness Centre Centre de Santé Westmount Bio-medical treatment for Childhood Behaviour Disorders Autism Spectrum Disorder - Dan Protocol - ADD - ADHD Bio-identical Hormone Replacement for Women & Men Chronic Inflammatory Autoimmune Disease Lifestyle related chronic health problems elevated cholesterol - blood pressure cardiovascular disease obesity - diabetes type 2 (insulin resistance) By appointment only 1225 Greene Ave, Westmount Qc 514-448-9777 info@ santewestmount.com 2449252 A feast of great ideas.for your new kitchen!
