Toronto Real Estate Home Sales May Be Down From Last Year’s Highs, But There Are Some Price Gains……………………..
May 4, 2018- From a high point in Spring 2017, sales may be down 32% and the average sale price of a detached home down 14.3% (to $1,354,719), but due to demand and low inventory, some homes are currently attracting multiple offers and way over list sale prices. And condo apartments are selling 3.8% higher on average than a year ago (now $601,211). Many buyers plan on buying a property in the GTA, so once the current volatility due to governmental policies like new mortgage rules has settled, we expect sales and prices to pick up even more in the Toronto Real Estate Market.

Toronto Condo Market Keeps Sizzling Through Winter
February 6, 2018- The Toronto Real Estate Board’s January 2018 statistics show that, although 416 detached home prices are down 12% from a year ago, the average 416 condo apartment sale price is up 15%. Still, due to the low inventory of homes on the market, many freehold properties are selling over asking. Let’s also keep in mind we started 2018 under freezing cold weather conditions, whereas 2017 began quite warm. With new borrowing rules and rising interest rates, (and the weather warming up), the time to list is NOW, while some buyers still have pre-approvals at lower rates under the old rules. Don’t wait for Spring.

Strong Demand For Condos Leads Toronto Real Estate Market News
December 6, 2017- Condo apartment sale prices are up 17.7% from a year ago and condo townhome prices are up 12.3%. There is strong demand for condos of all sizes and types- including the over $2,000,000 price point. The freehold house market is less predictable right now. For example, prices of detached homes in Central Toronto are down 1.7% from a year ago, although some attract multiple offers and sell over asking. The feeling is that the newest wave of government regulations, regarding mortgage lending, which come into play after the end of this year, will not affect the ability of most buyers to buy and that we will see a strong Spring market- condos especially.

However, condo apartment prices have increased 20.9% in a year- to an average of $555,004. The demand for condos is increasing for several reasons- freehold house prices are not affordable for many, rentals are high priced and hard to find, and many home owners- young and old- are choosing to live experientially instead of maintaining a house.
