“A household earning the average income in the GTA is still finding it challenging to afford the monthly mortgage payment associated with the purchase of an average priced home. This is even with lower borrowing costs and selling prices over the past year. Further relief in borrowing costs would see an increased number of buyers move off the sidelines to take advantage of today’s well-supplied market,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

We track MLS sales daily.

  • November 2016 to May 30th 2017, 90% of central district properties sold over asking price.
