Detached house

The average detached house in Toronto has already surpassed the $2 million mark People are snapping up houses in the Greater Toronto Area at near-record rates, with last month coming in hot and achieving the second-highest sales statistics of any February in history, surpassed only by the record-breaking Feb. 2021. The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reveals that 9,097 residences changed hands last month, a 16.8 per cent decrease year over year but a staggering 61.4 per cent increase from the previous month. It’s a significant amount of properties sold, but it’s still a 16.8 percent decline from last year’s record when purchasers resurfaced between pandemic waves. A Much-Necessary Rebound Bustling sales undoubtedly got a lift from an influx of much-needed supply: 14,147 new listings were added to the market, more than double (109.4 percent) from January levels. While inventory is still down 6.6 percent year on year, because the decrease was less severe than sales, it has helped improve total inventory, pushing market conditions ever-so-slightly toward balanced. The month ended with a total of 6,985 properties for sale, up more than 2,000 from the previous month and perhaps indicating that overall supply is on the rise. If you want a 416 address, expect to pay an average of $1,210,889, up from $995,171 in February 2021. And the 905 is even more expensive, with houses now costing $1,402,948, up from $1,070,710 in February 2021.The most concerning figure, however, is the new average price of a detached home in Toronto, which has officially surpassed the two-million barrier with a February 2021 average of $2,073,989. The costly detached sector continues to have the highest amount of sales, with 3,928 purchases led by activity in the 905 areas. The total average price of a single-family detached home increased by 31% to $1,797,203 and has officially surpassed the $2 million mark in the City of Toronto, at $2,073,989 (23 per cent. Condos, on the other hand, are hanging near the $800,000 mark, with an average price of $799,966. A total of 2,722 units were sold, with 1,842 of them concentrated in the 416 area. Prices are expected to rise further, though not to such extremes, with TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer predicting “a more moderate pace of price growth in the second half of 2022 as higher borrowing costs result in some households temporarily putting their home purchase on hold as they resituate themselves in the market.” TRREB CEO John DiMichele predicts that these conditions will be a prominent topic in the 2019 Ontario provincial election, adding, “we know that housing affordability will be front of mind.” “Demand for ownership homes continues to be robust throughout the GTA, and while we are somewhat off the record pace observed last year, any buyer searching in this market is unlikely to feel it with competition continuing the standard,” he adds. “Many households accelerated their home purchase and closed in 2021, which is one reason the number of sales was predicted to be lower this year, and a trend toward increased borrowing costs will have a restraining influence on home sales.” Significant immigration levels and a persistent scarcity of supply, on the other hand, will have a mitigating influence on rising mortgage rates.” All of this will be on the minds of policymakers and politicians as election season approaches; following the recommendations of the province-appointed Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force, it will be interesting to see whether — if any — of their 55 proposals will be enacted before Ontarians go to the polls. DiMichele emphasizes that “political parties and candidates must focus on bold and inventive policies that will encourage greater and diversified housing supply to account for the current gap and future population expansion as immigration accelerates.” Related posts.
