I hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy as this holiday season quickly approaches us! We’re back with another Toronto Real Estate Market Update. I’m Britt Huggins, a Toronto real estate agent on the SO&Co. team and it’s time to take a look at the November stats as we near the end of 2022.
As most of you know, interest rates have increased multiple times since March 2022, 7 times to be exact. In fact, the Bank of Canada announced another increase of 50 points to 4.25% last week. As borrowing costs rise, transactions move in the opposite direction, declining by 50% across the GTA when compared to this time last year. The number of homes on the market has increased; inventory is up by 96% when compared to this time last with nearly 12,000 properties available for sale. There are about 2.5 months worth of inventory for sale, which interestingly enough is still considered a Seller’s Market. In order to be considered a Buyer’s Market, we would need to see closer to four or more months’ worth of inventory.
Condominium sales (transactions) are down 55% when compared to November 2021. While condos are much more affordable than freehold properties, prices are more consistent, not much movement is happening.
Let’s break down the stats by our most popular regional real estate markets: the GTA, Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Durham Region, and Brampton. Please note, the stats below are based on real estate sold year to date.
