These are the stats for January 2010, the Toronto and Mississauga Real Estate Marketplace began with a very strong start. Prices are up compared to same month in 09 and so are number of sales. We expect 2010 to be a strong year in real estate sales.

GTA REALTORS® REPORT JANUARY RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES

TORONTO, February 3, 2010 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,986 transactions through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) in January 2010. This result represented a large

increase over the 2,670 sales in January 2009 when the home sales were in a recessionary trough.

Last month’s sales were slightly higher than the January average in the five years preceding 2009.

“The GTA housing market has rebounded well from the lows in sales experienced at the beginning of 2009. Sales climbed back to healthy levels across the GTA because the cost of home ownership remained affordable in the Toronto area,” said TREB President Tom Lebour.

“Increasingly confident consumers moved to take advantage of affordable home ownership.”

The average home selling price in January 2010 climbed 19 per cent to $409,058, compared to 343,632 in the same month last year.

“Expect strong annual growth rates for existing home sales and average price through the first quarter as we continue to make comparisons to the weak market conditions at the beginning of

2009,”

I hope this finds you Happy and Healthy!

All the Best!
