Here are some highlights:
"More home buyers will meet their housing needs through the purchase of an existing home, in response to increasing choice in the resale market, as the gap between listings and sales widens. Generally speaking, when there is more choice in the resale market, fewer buyers will opt to purchase a home at the pre-construction stage of development and wait for completion a year or more into the future"
"Affordability underlies the increasing popularity of high-rise condominium apartments in the Toronto area. As the cost of owning a home has increased steadily since the turn of the new millennium, many households have had to turn their attention away from comparatively expensive low-rise housing types, in favour of condominium apartments."
"Even with more moderate sales over the next two years, existing home sales will still remain higher than the average for the last 10 years and in line with the average over the past five years.
"When buyers have more homes to choose from, they are less likely to make offers at or above list, or to enter into 'bidding wars' with other buyers"
