ENG., COMM ISSIONER 0F WORKS.- Real Sales for the month of May th rough the Multiple Uîsting Service (MLS) of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board (ODREB) were up 289 percent over May of 1974. There were 148 MIS sales fora total of $7,253,000 the great majority being for residential transactions. Sales for the 'first five months of, 1975 were up a more modest« 65 percent as compared to the same time period last year. :Iomcs listed for sale by individual brokers from Pickering, Ajax,. Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perrv areas throuph the estate sales up board's MLS systerjii has passed' tlte' 1,600 mark so far dis year. This figure passes the total number of listings submitted for the full yearý of 1973. .The 'se figures reflect the attitude of buyers in our' areas. More and more of the people'who have been watt- ing over the past few years, deciding when the best time would be to buy, are acting now. With the increased<num- ber of homes on the market now, the choice has neyer been better. Then, look 'at these figures: the average price of, MIS sales for the firtst five mnnnths of 1974 was $45,802. This year thé comparable figure was $47,346, Mack Parliament 'of the Canadian Real Estate Assoc- iation reports - an 'example produced by 'real estate exec- utive Stephen Bartlett shows how high prices in Toronto, could be by 1984. In 1964,, he noted, prices averaged $1 7,000 and inbcreased by 230 percent to $56,020 by 1974. But by 1984 the average price of a -Metropolitan Tor- onto home, he estimated, will be $ 185,000. Bartlett studies records and deed registrations back to 1900 and concluded, that since theý turn of the century - although there have been temporary declines in real estate values - prices have gone steadily for.ward. It is possible évents, will occur to prevent Bartlett's prédictions from cominig true but looking backward most people. who bought hôuises from Vancouver to Halifax in 1965 for an average price of $i5,,951 didn't think their average sale price would be $43 ,785. While rational people ini and out of the:real estate industry would like to see the price of houses and other commodities- stabilize, one must face the bitter facts.
