Toronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced that there were 4,945 sales reported in December bringing the 2015 calendar year total to 101,299 – a substantial 9.2 per cent increase compared to 2014 as a whole. Strong annual sales increases were experienced for all major home types last year. "Home ownership is a quality long-term investment that families can live in while the value increases over time. A relatively strong regional economy in the GTA coupled with low borrowing costs kept a record number of households – first-time buyers and existing homeowners alike – confident in their ability to purchase and pay for a home over the long term," said Mr. McLean. "If the market had benefitted from more listings, the 2015 sales total would have been greater. As it stands, we begin 2016 with a substantial amount of pent-up demand," continued Mr. McLean. The average selling price for 2015 as a whole was $622,217 – up 9.8 per cent compared to $566,624 in 2014. The MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark Price was up by a similar annual rate of 10 per cent in December. GTA home price growth was driven by the low-rise segments of the market, but condominium apartment price growth was generally well-above the rate of inflation as well through 2015. "TREB will release its official 2016 outlook
later in January, but suffice to say that the demand
for ownership housing is expected to remain very strong
in 2016. Despite stricter mortgage lending guidelines
and the possibility of slightly higher borrowing costs,
on average, there will be many buyers who remain upbeat
on the purchase of ownership housing," said Jason All the Best! Mark Where are mortgage rates heading?

Our market continues to perform very well, prices are up and sales volumes are good. There are a good number of homes currently for sale in Mississauga, we need good homes to sell! It will be interesting to see what the next few months bring as there seems to be a large amount of demand for properties in Mississauga and the GTA. I predict that it will be a very strong market with more properties coming on the market in the next month or two giving a slightly larger selection to buyers. Average prices will likely increase 2-5% over the next 2 months. Volume of sales will also increase every month in the next quarter, if you are thinking of buying now is the time to do it!. Given our very fine weather this winter that is expected to continue for the next while, my observations for the Mississauga marketplace is that we continue to see that prices continue to be strong and increase quite substantially in many areas over the next few months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
