The Numbers are in! See our 'Toronto Real Estate Market Report' for the latest figures on Toronto, Vaughan and Thornhill's Resale Housing Market.
Realtor's in Greater Toronto have clocked 4,078 residential deals on the Toronto MLS for the month of December 2013. This is an increase of 14% compared to December 2012.
We saw fewer sellers coming to market as well which resulted in a 4% decrease in homes listed over the same period. 2013 saw a total of 87,111 properties bought and sold which is a modest 2% higher than the previous year “After a slow start to the year, sales growth accelerated to a brisk pace in the second half of 2013. Despite the inclement weather in December, we finished the year with a respectable gain in transactions compared to 2012. Looking forward, I believe that home ownership in the GTA will remain affordable as borrowing costs stay low. The result could be a further increase in sales in 2014,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Dianne Usher. “The average selling price will be up again in 2014 and by more than the rate of inflation. The seller’s market conditions that drove price growth in the second half of 2013 will remain in place in many parts of the GTA. Some neighbourhoods, especially those characterized by low-rise home types like singles, semis and townhomes, will continue to have less than two months of inventory,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. Homes sold in December had an average value of $520,000, which was 8.9% higher than in December of last year which saw an average price of $477,750. 2013 as a whole saw the average price rise to $523,000, a surge of slightly over 5% over the average in 2012.|
