This is the latest monthly report for TREB for the average prices and the number of sales in previous month, both were very strong last month.Record number of Sales and Strong Prices for last monthPrices and Sales continue their strong growth last month Please refer to this page to see a graph of Average prices and More This is the full report from TREB This is the full price and data report from TREB for last monthStrong July Price Growth TORONTO, ONTARIO, August 4, 2016 – Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that TREB REALTOR® Members reported 9,989 home sales through TREB’s MLS® System in July 2016. At just shy of 10,000 transactions, this was the best result on record for the month of July. While sales were up on a year-over-year basis, the number of new listings was down over the same period, representing the continuation of a troubling trend in the GTA. “GTA REALTORS® have been working very hard on behalf of their buyer clients to help them find a home meeting their needs. Unfortunately, listings for single-detached and semi-detached houses and townhouses continue to be in short supply. The result has been an increase in pent-up demand and annual rates of price increases well above the rate of inflation. Housing policy is now top of mind for all levels of government. Policy makers need to be focusing on solutions to the sustained lack of low-rise inventory throughout the GTA,” said Mr. Cerqua. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark was up by 16.7 per cent in July 2016 compared to the same month a year earlier. Similarly, the average selling price for all home types combined was up by 16.6 per cent year-over-year to $709,825. “Relatively strong labour market conditions, above-inflation average income growth, and record low borrowing costs have kept many households confident about purchasing a home. As long as very strong buying intentions are up against an extreme shortage of listings, expect home price growth to greatly outpace “When TREB surveyed consumer intentions for 2016, we found that the majority of GTA households who were likely to purchase a home continued to be pointed towards some form of ground oriented housing. This is why we continue to see strong competition between buyers in many neighbourhoods where supply remains constrained,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Director of Market Analysis. All the Best!

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
