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.

Toronto Real Estate Board Mid April Market Report

TORONTO, APRIL 18, 2011 ‐‐ TREB reported 4,444 sales for the first two

weeks of April 2011 –  three per cent down over  the same period of 2010.  New listings were down  21 per cent compared to 2010.

The average transaction price for  the first two weeks of April was $483,165,  a 12 per cent increase over the  $430,271 reported during the same period last year.

Market activity was still  strong reflecting the positive economic environment being enjoyed in the GTA. The 20 to 35 basis point increase in fixed mortgage rates seeming to have little to no effect on sales. The main constriction in the market place seems to be the dearth of listings as the 21% decrease in new listings would indicate. Prices remain healthy and competition between buyers for the properties  which are available is leading to numerous multiple offers. The 12% price increase is reflective of this and will hopefully tempt sellers into the Market.
