GTA REALTORS(r) RELEASE MID-MONTH RESALE HOUSING FIGURES


TORONTO, June 18, 2013 - Greater Toronto Area REALTORS(r) reported 4,620 sales through the TorontoMLS system during the first two weeks of June 2013.

This result was up by 4.7 per cent compared to the first two weeks of June
2012.

Year-over-year sales growth was driven by the regions/counties surrounding the City of Toronto.

Home sales in the City were basically flat in comparison to last year.

"The expectation was for an improvement in home sales in the second half of 2013. Early June results are in line with this outlook. Many households have adapted to stricter lending guidelines and have renewed their search for ownership housing," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Ann Hannah.

"It is also important to note that new listings were down over the same period. With sales up and new listings down, market conditions became tighter. This supports the moderate to strong rates of price growth reported for most major home types, including condominium apartments," added Ms. Hannah.

The average selling price for the first fourteen days of June was $536,141 - up by 3.8 per cent compared to June 2012.

"While price growth has been driven by low-rise home types this year, condominium apartment price growth has improved since March. Despite higher inventory levels, there have been enough buyers relative to available listings to support condo price appreciation," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

I hope this finds you Happy and Healthy!

All the Best!

The report below is the latest report from TREB


TORONTO, June 5, 2013 - Price Growth Across All Major Home Types in May

TORONTO, June 5, 2013 - Greater Toronto Area (GTA) REALTORS(r) reported  10,182 sales through the TorontoMLS system in May 2013, representing a dip  of 3.4 per cent compared to May 2012. Sales of single-detached homes in the GTA were up by almost one per cent compared to the same period last year, including a three per cent year over- year increase in the City of Toronto.

"The sales picture in the GTA has improved markedly over the past two months. While the number of transactions in April and May remained below last year's levels, the rate of decline has been much smaller. A growing number of households who put their decision to purchase on hold as a result of stricter lending guidelines are starting to become active again in the ownership market," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Ann Hannah.

The average selling price for May 2013 sales was $542,174 - up by 5.4 per cent in comparison to $514,567 in May 2012. The annual rate of price growth was driven by the tight low-rise segment of the market and particularly by single-detached and semidetached home transactions in the City of Toronto.

Average condominium apartment prices were also up slightly in comparison to last year.

The MLS(r) Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark was up by 2.8 per cent yearover- year.

"The annual rate of price growth in May was not surprising given the competition that still exists between buyers, particularly for low-rise home types such as single-detached and semi-detached houses. We remain on track for a three-and-a-half per cent increase in the average selling price for 2013 as a whole," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Greater Toronto REALTORS(r) are passionate about their work. They are governed by a strict Code of Ethics and share a state-of-the-art Multiple Listing Service. Over 36,000 TREB Members serve consumers in the Greater Toronto Area. The Toronto Real Estate Board is Canada's largest real estate board.

All the Best!
