Daybreak home price appreciation was 6.35% in 2017, with the median home price standing at $335,000. While prices were up, there was a big drop in the number of home sold, with 548 sales (down 8.05%). This drop was partly due to fewer homes being listed for sale (726 down 2.29%) and also due to the rising prices and home affordability. The median days on market (how long a home takes to go under contract) stood at 26 days, which while still very good, was 3 days longer than 2016.

Townhomes were the best performing section, with the sales price increasing 8.28% to $255,000. Unlike other sectors there was a large influx of new listings which jumped 14.51%, but the number of units sold only increased 1.31%. Median days on market climbed just 1 day to 27 days.
The condominium sector was the worst performing, with the median sales price actually declining 4.62% to stand at $165,000.

2017 was a good year for the Daybreak housing market and it will be interesting to see how this progresses in 2018. We have had a very mild winter so far which makes for a more active housing market, but there is a treat of rising interest rates which could negatively impact the market.
