Toronto Real Estate Market Update: February 2012 Statistics

Wow... what a February.  People are asking me Jas, what's happening to the market?  Are prices going to keep going up?  

When you see the FEBRUARY MARKET statistics you can't blame them for asking.

Sure we had an extra day this year from 2011... but that can't account for the 1000 more homes SOLD and Average price up nearly $50,000.

So we had an increase of 16 percent in sales but new listings were only up 11 percent.  President of TREB, Silver also suggests that Buyers and Sellers are very much aware of the current market conditions because listings are selling for an average 99% of asking price.  I think, because it is a tight market, with very little inventory, Buyer agents have clearly educated the Buyers if they want to be successful in making a home purchase in Toronto, now is not the time for "low ball" offers!

We need a lot more listings on the market... otherwise there will be pressure on price to continue increasing, especially since interest rates are keeping home buying, still affordable for many first-time and move up buyers.

Are you planning to SELL within the next 3 to 6 months?
