January 2012 MLS Sales ReportFebruary 3, 2012 GTA REALTORS® RELEASE MONTHLY MARKET FIGURES
TORONTO, February 3, 2012 – Toronto Real Estate Board reported 4,567 MLS sales in January 2012, up 8.8 % from the 4,199 sales reported in January 2011.
The average transaction price for January 2012 was $463,534 – up by almost 9% compared to January 2011.
The hope was that higher prices would produce more listings as the market tries to find equilibrium. But as usual the Buyers are out before the sellers are ready and the resulting imbalance has caused an immoderate price increase and heartache for buyers as they are again forced to compete for scarce listings.
