The last 5 months have been unprecedented in the GTA real estate market. A sharp spike in pricing (not really rooted in any logical past sales) has led to all levels of government to seriously look at implementing “cooling measures”. Over the last 15-20 years the market has been increasing at roughly 5-8% annually. We are now seeing a 28%- 33% price increase year over year. The average price of a Toronto (416) detached home is now just under $1.6 million. This type of market activity is truly concerning. Sales volumes also increased by 18% vs same time last year.

The market has literally been going nuts! I have been involved in 4 offer presentations in the last 2 weeks and in each case the homes have sold for 120k-350k more than what I considered to be market value based on recent comparable sales.

The GTA market has been on fire! In the last 2 months we have seen both record sale prices and record low inventory ratios. This combination has meant super speedy sales in all sectors. As free hold properties become even more elusive, buyers are starting to turn to larger apartments as an alternate. Developers are also beginning to shift their focus somewhat by designing a larger number of 2 bedroom and even 3 bedroom units. Over the last 20 years the trend has been to design and squeeze out as many apartments as possible to maximize profit.
