Toronto and GTA Real Estate Auctions are not that common, WHY?

If you search Google for Toronto and GTA real estate auctions, most of the results talk about auctions, but really don't give you much information about upcoming real estate auctions in the GTA. This is probably because there are not too many real estate auctions that occur in the GTA.

In my experience, most property in and around Toronto is sold through traditional methods, such as the mls, private for sales, exclusive listings and other similar methods.

You will find that there are many auctions in the US. Their system works differently.

In a similar fashion, there is rarely a foreclosure sale in Ontario, most properties sell under Power of Sale in Ontario, read more here:

I've seen and received in my email, information similar to what is shown below for US auctions.

Please email if you have more questions.
