Flurry of home buying activity expected

If you're thinking about selling your home, now might be a good time.

A new RE/MAX report suggests the looming HST is expected to spur a flurry of home buying activity in Hamilton and Burlington this year.

750 homes were sold in our area last month, up 58 per cent from last January.

And the average price also increased 10 per cent to more than 275-thousand dollars.

The RE/MAX Market Trends Report says the threat of higher interest rates and tighter lending criteria have kick-started real estate activity across Canada.
