WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg real estate market's first quarter was capped off by the best March on record with MLS® sales surpassing 1,100 for the first time and dollar volume closing in on $180 million - more than double the March dollar volume recorded five years ago. Another bright spot was the over 10 percent increase in new listings entered in March. It is also noteworthy that 61 percent of the entire inventory turned over in March.

WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg real estate market in February showed a continuation of last year's remarkable performance with sales just edging out 2006 and dollar volume setting another new monthly record for this month. Only 1997 where MLS® sales went over 800 in February was there more activity than 2007.

WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg real estate market in January outperformed the same month last year in both sales and dollar volume. Active listings are in a better position too with a 9 per cent increase over January 2006.

The Board of Directors of the Winnipeg REALTORS® Association is pleased to announce the election and confirmation of Wes Schollenberg, REALTOR®, as President for the 2007 calendar year. Mr. Schollenberg served as President-Elect in 2006 and succeeds Walter Boni as President.

WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg real estate market finished off 2006 in spectacular fashion with dollar volume shattering the previous best December in 2005. You only have to go back four years when December dollar volume was less than half what it is in 2006. December MLS® sales were impressive as well with close to 600 unit sales - third only to 1996 and 1997 when they were 686 and 608 sales respectively.

WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg real estate market hasn't noticeably slowed down even though this November has been dramatically colder than last November. November MLS® unit sales were off less than 1% from November 2005 (825 / 830). Dollar volume was up 15% over the same period last year ($127.9 million / $111.1 million). MLS® listings entered in November are up 1% (914 / 904) while listings entered from January to November, 2006 are up 7% (15,941 / 14939). Year-to-date MLS® sales are up 2% (11,711 / 11,528) while dollar volume has risen 15% ($1.773 billion / $1.546 billion). The Board's listing inventory stands at just under 2,200.

WINNIPEG - October 2006 is the best October MLS® result ever in the Board’s 103 year history. For the first time, sales eclipsed the 1,000 mark and dollar volume reached its highest level ever at close to $160 million. This impressive result puts year-to-date dollar volume ahead of last year's total dollar volume.

WINNIPEG - September 2006 helped propel the first three quarters of 2006 to new uncharted territory. Both sales and dollar volume are out ahead of previous years to this point and that is saying something given how well 2005 performed. MLS® dollar volume so far is just shy of $1.5 billion with still a full quarter to go and MLS® sales are fast approaching the 10,000 mark.

WINNIPEG - August 2006 is the second best August in the Winnipeg Real Estate Board's 103-year history for MLS® unit sales and the highest ever for August MLS® dollar volume. As a result, year-to-date MLS® sales are closing in on 9,000 and dollar volume has surpassed $1.3 billion. With four months to go, the Board will inevitably set its sixth consecutive dollar volume year end record and may still exceed the 2005 new all time benchmark of over 12,000 sales.

WINNIPEG - July MLS® sales and dollar volume activity moderated from the two previous back-to -back all time record-breaking MLS® months this year. Although, for the hot and dry days of summer, July's MLS® results were strong enough to set the best ever sales and dollar volume level for this vacation month.
