LONDON, ONT. -- The London and St Thomas Association of Realtors (LSTAR) says last month was the second best August for sales since the association began tracking data in 1978.
"August capped off a very strong summer for home sales in the region," said 2020 LSTAR President Blair Campbell. "For the first time, the average home sales price was over $500,000. It's a testament to the pent-up demand caused during the COVID-19 lockdown months."
The average home sale price was $501,584 in August, up 22 per cent over August 2019 and up more than 55 per cent compared to the same time just three years ago.
