So far, 2010 has been a year of brisk sales activity in KW.  However, the year has taken a slightly different shape compared with many years.

Typically, our real estate market follows a pattern in which the spring is very active as people list and buy in order to make their actual move during the summer.  Then, July and August are a little quieter as folks turn their attention to summer holidays and activities.  After labour day weekend, we usually experience another peak in activity that I call the "mini spring in the fall".  After November, things quiet down again as many folks don't actively chose the winter months for buying nor for selling.
