July Report: In June, the Toronto Area resale housing market was nearly 20 per cent more active compared to a year ago.
The 10,451 sales recorded in the month were also just shy of the 11,146 sales that made May TREB's most active single month ever.
"This market is very healthy and shows no signs of letting up," said the president of the Toronto Real Estate Board. "The strong spring we've seen is carrying through to the summer months, and that has helped to push this year's total activity past 2006 by
nearly 11 per cent."

In case you missed it last month, I found this very interesting mortgage rate website on the internet where they survey mortgage experts to gauge the state of mortgage rates over the next 30 to 45 days: Will rates rise, fall or remain relatively unchanged?

Listing inventories are low, so if you are thinking of selling, this is a good time to list your home. The market has been 'very good' for the past month or so and new listings are need. Would you like a Complimentary & Quick Over-The-Net Home Evaluation of your property?
Average single family residential prices were UP compared to the previous month. This is typical for this time of year. Price trends over the past 10 years indicate that prices will likely increase over the next month or so.
It appears as if rates may be about to rise in the short term. Many feel The Bank of Canada may be increasing rates in the near future from their current level of 4.5% prime, so this should keep mortgage interest rates at their current levels.
Last month was another very solid month to add to another banner year in real estate in the GTA. See graphs of the sales figures, read more

Prime means "best," and this is the rate that banks charge their absolute best customers for loans. Changes in the prime rate influence changes in other rates, including variable interest rate mortgages. This rate fluctuates based on economic conditions. Some mortgage companies offer interest rates starting at Prime less .75%!
