Sales and prices set new records in a high flying month for Toronto real
estate
Happy Thanksgiving!
May the holiday bring you good things in abundance that stay with you all year
long.
The Greater Toronto Area real estate market stayed red hot in September, fueled
by historic low borrowing costs and pent up demand resulting from the COVID-19
lockdowns in the spring.
It was the best September on record for Toronto area home sales, with 42 per
cent more sales last month than in September 2019, with a notable surge in
activity in the suburbs and regions surrounding Toronto.
Competition for detached and semi-detached houses drove the average selling
price across all types of properties up 14 per cent to $960,772, compared with
the previous year.
Every segment of the market increased from September last year. Condos rose by
7%; townhouses increased by 11%; and detached properties were up by 13 per cent.
The Toronto region is experiencing a second wave of coronavirus cases and local
medical officials are urging the province to further restrict activity.
Looking ahead, it will be important to monitor the path of COVID-19 cases, the
related government policy response and the impact on jobs and consumer
confidence.
