Mid-July GTA Resale Market Figures

Toronto, July 18, 2011 –,The Toronto Real Estate Board reported an increase in sales and the average selling price for the first half of July compared to the same period of July 2010. The number of transactions reported through the Toronto MLS® system was up 35 per cent to 3,609, from 2,672 last year.

The average selling price was up 9.6 % to $464,277 compared to $423,773 in July 2010.

Tight market conditions coupled with very cheap mortgage money have produced a steeper than normal price increase, 10% year on year price increases are not sustainable in the long term. An increase in active listings would certainly moderate price increases. Is there a correction in the wind? Most Bank economists think so. Will the market go down or merely move sideways ? The alarmists who call for a 25% correction are clearly wrong but a correction of less than 5% would be improve the health of the Market. The Bank of Canada is not expected to change interest rates in its announcement due out tomorrow. Employment is looking stronger. Canadian Business remains optimistic for the future.
