I hope this finds you healthy and happy! All the best, Mark You are reading the latest newsletter June News Report Last months Resale Housing Results Show Healthy Market! 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 for May 2015Prices 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 June 3, 2015 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Paul Etherington announced 11,706 sales reported by Greater Toronto REALTORS® in May 2015. This result was up by 6.3 per cent in comparison to 11,013 sales reported in May 2014. For the TREB market area as a whole, sales were up for all major housing types. However, in the City of Toronto, where the supply of low-rise listings has been constrained, sales were down for detached homes. “During my tenure as TREB President over the past year, it is clear to me that ownership housing remains top of mind as a quality long-term investment for GTA households. This is why, despite a shortage of listings in some market segments, we experienced a record number of sales reported through TREB’s MLS® System for the month of May,” said Mr. Etherington. Record May transactions, coupled with a dip in the number of homes available for sale, resulted in strong price growth. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark was up by 8.9 per cent year over year in May. The MLS® HPI uses benchmark homes to estimate price growth. This allows for an “apples to apples” comparison of price growth that is not affected by changes in the mix of sales activity. The average selling price for all home types combined in May 2015 was up by 11 per cent annually to $649,599. The higher annual rate of average price growth compared to the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark points to the fact that the proportion of high-end home sales continued to be greater compared to 2014. “Tight market conditions, especially for singles, semis and town homes in the GTA, have resulted in strong price growth regardless of the price metric being considered. With no relief so far on the listings front, expect similar rates of price growth as we move through the remainder of 2015. At this point, a number of months where listings growth outstrips sales growth would be required to satisfy pent-up demand,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Director of Market Analysis. All the Best! Mark Where are mortgage rates heading? The Bank of Canada Prime Lending Rate steady at 2.75% read more A common question I frequently get is "where are mortgage
rates heading?" While all we can do is speculate
and anything can happen, we can always make predictions based
on what tools we have available to us today.

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. |
