GTA REALTORS® Report Monthly Resale Market Figures

January 4, 2019 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Garry Bhaura announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported a total of 77,426 residential transactions through TREB's MLS® System in 2018. This result represented a 16.1 per cent decline compared to 92,263 sales reported in 2017. Total new listings entered into TREB's MLS® System were down by 12.7 per cent over the same period to 155,823.

The overall average selling price for 2018 transactions, at $787,300, was down by 4.3 per cent year-over-year for all home types combined across the TREB market area. 

Home prices were up very slightly in the City of Toronto and down in the surrounding GTA regions. This dichotomy reflects the fact that the condominium apartment segment, which accounted for a large proportion of sales in the City of Toronto, performed better from a pricing perspective than the detached market segment. The average price for condominium apartment sales across the TREB market area was up by 7.8 per cent year-over-year. 

"Higher borrowing costs coupled with the new mortgage stress test certainly prompted some households to temporarily move to the sidelines to reassess their housing options. With this said, it is important to note that market conditions were improved in the second
half of the year, both from a sales and pricing standpoint," said Garry Bhaura. 
"After spiking in 2017, new listings receded markedly in 2018. In many neighbourhoods, despite fewer sales from a historic perspective, some buyers still struggled to find a home meeting their needs. The result was a resumption of a moderate year-over-year pace of home price growth in the second half of the year. Price growth was strongest for less expensive home types, as many home buyers sought more affordable home ownership options," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Director of Market Analysis and Service Channels.

GTA buyers behind 70 per cent house price increase in Hamilton area in past five years


The main living space is open concept.
Real estate prices in the Hamilton area have jumped by 70 per cent over the past five years largely because of the westward exodus of Greater Toronto Area buyers competing for a limited supply of homes, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.

A new CREA report says the price increase in the Hamilton-Burlington market - with the average home costing $581,900 - is the fourth highest in Canada.

And the spike was even greater in Niagara Region, with a whopping 79 per cent rise over the same period, although the average cost of a home there - $393,500 - is almost $200,000 less than in Hamilton.

"Niagara was a little late to the party, but certainly they have experienced similar price growth to other markets in the Golden Horseshoe region," said Greg Klump, CREA's chief economist.
The price jumps in Hamilton-Burlington and Niagara Region are especially interesting when considering the GTA saw an increase of only 58.5 per cent over the same period and the national average was 43 per cent.

British Columbia's Fraser Valley experienced the highest increase at 86 per cent, caused from spillover from the Vancouver market. The Lower Mainland (Vancouver and the surrounding region) came in second with 74.5 per cent.
