TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT MARCH 2020

Until the Ontario Provincial Government declared a state of emergency, the Toronto and area residential resale market was on course to produce one of the strongest, most robust markets on record, including the establishment of a record-breaking monthly average sale price. All that changed around the middle of the month as people began following provincial […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT FEBRUARY 2020

It is not surprising that February was one of the strongest and most robust resale months since April 2017. What is surprising is that the market unfolded in a landscape of low resale housing supply and record-breaking average sales prices. February saw 7,256 properties reported sold, almost 2,000 of which were condominium apartments. This is […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT JANUARY 2020

A new decade, but little change in Toronto’s residential resale market. As anticipated in my December Market Report, January came in strong with 4,581 sales in the greater Toronto area. This was a stunning 15.4 percent increase compared to the 3,968 sales reported for January last year. Enthusiasm should be slightly muted, given the fact […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT DECEMBER 2019

The December market for residential resale properties came in exactly as anticipated, with substantially higher sales and average sale prices compared to last December, and not surprisingly, the month and year ended with a critical shortage in available resale inventory. In December 4,399 properties were reported sold. This is not a record high for the […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT NOVEMBER 2019

The November market report has basically written itself. It is another month with results almost identical to the preceding eight months. Sales were up substantially compared to November last year, and similarly average sale prices also rose. Specifically, sales rose by almost 15 percent compared to last year, from 6,206 to 7,090 this November. The […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT OCTOBER 2019

October represents eight months of market recovery and stability in the Toronto and area residential resale marketplace. October roared in with 8,491 sales, 14 percent stronger than the 7,448 residential properties reported sold last year and almost 700 more properties than were reported in September. It is now obvious that buyers have adjusted to the […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019

Toronto and area’s residential resale market, which I have been describing as beautifully boring over the last few months, got a lot less boring in September. Compared to last September, reported sales were up by 22 percent, but more concerning is the fact that average sale prices jumped by almost 6 percent. With salaries and […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT OCTOBER 2018

The real surprise in October was that the Toronto and area marketplace was more buoyant than expected, especially with a further interest rate hike during the month coming from The Bank of Canada. After being at 0.5 percent for two years, the Bank’s rate has jumped to 1.75 percent in the last 18 months with […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT SEPTEMBER 2018

The new normal in the Toronto residential real estate market has arrived. It has been finding its way for several months now, guided by the implementation of mortgage stress testing, the foreign buyer tax, and a number of mortgage interest rate hikes. It is now crystal clear, that the frenzied market of 2016 and […]

TORONTO REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT AUGUST 2018

Market data for August came in as expected. Both the average sale price and the number of residential properties reported sold increased compared to August 2017. The average sale price for all properties sold came in at $765,270, or almost 5 percent higher than last year’s average sale price of $730,969. The number […]
