JANUARY MARKET STATS ARE OUT!

“Immigration into Canada and the GTA is expected to be at or near record levels in 2022. All of these people will require a place to live. On top of this, job creation in average to above-average income sectors is expected to remain strong, further buoying consumer confidence to make a large-ticket purchase of a home. Unfortunately, the supply of listings will remain constrained, sustaining strong competition between buyers and double-digit growth in selling prices,” said TRREB President Kevin Crigger.

Here’s a little breakdown:

- January sales were down 18.2% from the year before.
- There were 15.5% fewer new listings than the previous year.
- The average sale price in the GTA was $1,242,793.
