GTA Realtor Report: February 2012

admin — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:56:28 +0000

Over the past number of months forecasters have been predicting that the average selling price for the TREB market area would soon reach half a million dollars – and in February 2012, it did just that. Market conditions remained tight last month; therefore, competition among buyers was still strong – generating the $502,508 average sale price.

The total number of sales increased 16% last month for the GTA, equalling 7,032 transactions with number of new listings increasing by 11% to 12,684. The leap year made quite an impact last month as sales and new listings were only up by 10% and 6% respectively as of February 28^th. On average, the homes that sold last month went for 99% of asking price.

If tight market conditions continue, buyers and sellers both need to plan accordingly. From a lending perspective, the current average sale price remains affordable to the average income earning household of buyers out there. That being said, as a prospective buyer it is in your best interest to have your own representation in such a competitive market – and that’s where we come in! On the other side of things, if 2012 is the year you plan to sell then this lack of inventory suggests now is the right time to get your house sold fast and for top dollar.

GTA Realtor Report: January 2012

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:58:44 +0000

The Toronto/GTA real estate market started off with a bang this year! There were 4,567 sales recorded throughout the TorontoMLS system last month, which reflects an 8.8% increase from the 4,199 sales we saw in January of 2011. The average sale price also increased by almost 9% compared to last year for a total of $463,534 per sale.

Low mortgage rates have kept the ability to achieve home ownership possible for the many buyers who are out there looking to get into the real estate market. We saw a lot of competition among buyers last month with many properties selling in multiple offer scenarios well above asking price.

To all the buyers out there, you need to have a Realtor who will represent your best interests – especially in this type of market! It’s important to have someone actively searching new listings for you and who can advise you on how to succeed in a multiple offer scenario. For those of you who are thinking about selling this year, there is a lack of inventory on the market and homes are selling at record prices, so now is the time! Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Style 4 Living Team for a free consultation!

GTA Realtor Report: December 2011

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:43:46 +0000

Real estate sales across the GTA for December 2011 totalled 4,718 transactions, making 2011 the second-best year on record according to the Toronto Real Estate Board. Total sales for the year amounted to 89,347 – a four percent increase compared to 2010. The average sale price in December was $451,436 – increasing four percent from 2010 – while the average selling price for the entire year was $465,412 – an eight percent increase overall.

The strong sales we saw last year were due in large part to low borrowing costs keeping buyers confident in their ability to purchase. That being said, tight market conditions were present which created ongoing competition among buyers. If there hadn’t been a shortage of listings over the past 12 months, it’s possible we would have seen a new sales record in the Greater Toronto Area.

Now that the holidays are over and 2012 is here the market is about to pick up yet again! If you or someone you know is thinking of buying a home in 2012 make sure to get in touch with the Style 4 Living Team today. If you’re thinking about selling, the market is in need of more properties for all the buyers who are out there looking!

GTA realtor report: November 2011

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:34:25 +0000

The healthy fall market continued throughout November this year – home sales were up 10% compared to November 2010 for a total of 7,092 transactions. During this period the number of new listings was up 14% from last year as well. The strong sales growth last month was seen across both low-rise and high-rise home types. The average price for November sales was $480,421, almost a 10% increase from November 2010. It’s predicted that prices will continue to rise in 2012 but hopefully at a more moderate pace. Luckily, we saw more balanced conditions last month due to the fact that the market was better supplied, and we hope to see more of this 2012.

Now that the Holiday season is upon us the market has a tendency to slow down. It’s a great time for buyers to get out there when there aren’t as many people looking to avoid getting stuck in multiple offer scenarios that are likely to occur in the New Year. The market is also lacking inventory so if you’re thinking of selling there’s no need to wait until 2012 – homes are still selling within a few days on the market and for great value.
