Another big jump in sales activity as April saw a 12% increase in homes sold month over month but still 6% lower than this time last year.
Inventory is continuing to pile on with a 35% increase in new homes month over month and 52% year over year.
Out of all these listings, the vast majority are coming from condos.

Average sale price in March was relatively flat with a slight uptick month over month and year over year.
Another big jump in sales activity as March saw a 17% increase in homes sold month over month but still 9% lower than this time last year.
Inventory is continuing to roll on to the market with a 42% increase in new homes month over month and 14% year over year.
This time last year saw a surge in activity with new found activity in buyers as there was false confidence that rates would be coming down and the market took off. The fact that we have 9% less sales and 14% more homes to sell tells me we are just in a healthier balance right now.
March saw an Easter weekend for the first time in a long time which is typically a slow few days for real estate and I imagine that was factored in to seeing a decline in number of sales year over year. I anticipate April is likely to be much more active for both buyers and sellers across the board.
Running numbers after the first week of April, Toronto Freehold homes are at 2 Months Of Inventory (Sellers Market) and Toronto Condos are at 3.5 Months Of Inventory (Balanced Market).

Average sale price in February was up 11% month over month and unchanged year over year. This is largely being effected by the Freehold market.
February sees continued activity with another significant jump in buyer activity bith month over month and year over year.
More inventory has also been hitting the market however it hasnt been enough to keep up with demand in the Freehold sector.
The continuing trend of increased buyer activity in the Freehold market is causing the spike n average sale price however condos are remaining flat with no price dips or growth for now. If you are looking for deals, consider them gone from the freehold sector but there are still some potential deals lying around for condos if you know where to find them.
Running numbers after the first week of March, Toronto Freehold homes are down to 1.8 Months Of Inventory (Sellers Market) and Toronto Condos are down to 3.3 Months Of Inventory (Balanced Market).

Average sale price in January showed a drop off compared to December however is relatively flat from this time last year.
With the new year comes new activity and January buyer confidence certainly appears to have picked up with 33% more sales from this time last year.
November and December are typical for new listings to slow down and with the uncertainties surrounding the end of the year, they were lower than normal. However, with January’s announcement of another rate hold and seemingly some economic stability, sellers are coming back to the market with a significant increase in new listings both month over month and year over year.
I’m watching the market unfold quickly week over week and activity is picking up! Buyers are coming out of the woodworks and sellers are trying to take advantage. My hunch is as long as rates hold steady or start to come down, this trend will start to cause subtle upward pressure in prices in the coming months.

Average sale price remain virtually unchanged with a 1% increase from last month and 4% increase year over year.
December is typically one of the slowest months of the year and with all other economic variables, we saw a 21% decrease in sales month over month. With that being said, confidence was actually up from last year with a 9% bump from December 2022.
Continuing with the trend of the latter portion of the year, inventory is down another wapping 64% month over month.
Forecasts are calling for rates to start to drop in 2024 with Fixed rates already gradually starting to come down.
I expect the next month or two to be relatively stable with a healthy market that neither falls not flies however when rates start to fall, buyer activity is likely to pick up signifcantly.
Running numbers after the first week of January, Toronto Freehold homes are sitting at 2.9 Months Of Inventory (Sellers Market) and Toronto Condos are sitting at 5.1 Months Of Inventory (Balanced Market).
