GTA REALTORS(r) RELEASE MONTHLY RESALE MARKET FIGURES

TORONTO, January 5, 2012 - Greater Toronto REALTORS(r) reported 4,718
transactions through the TorontoMLS(r) system in December 2011. The December
result capped off the second-best year on record under the current Toronto
Real Estate Board (TREB) boundaries. Total sales for 2011 amounted to 89,347
- up four per cent in comparison to 2010.

"Low borrowing costs kept Buyers confident in their ability to comfortably
cover their mortgage payments along with other major housing costs," said
TREB President Richard Silver. "If Buyers had not been constrained by a
shortage of listings over the past 12 months, we would have been flirting
with a new sales record in the Greater Toronto Area," added Silver.

The average selling price in December was $451,436 - up four per cent
compared to December 2010. For all of 2011, the average selling price was
$465,412, an increase of eight per cent in comparison to the average of
$431,276 in 2010.

"Months of inventory remained below the pre-recession norm in 2011. Very
tight market conditions meant substantial competition between Buyers and
strong upward pressure on selling prices," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior
Manager of Market Analysis.


"TREB's baseline forecast for 2012 is for an average price of $485,000,
representing a more moderate four per cent annual rate of price growth. This
baseline view is subject to a heightened degree of risk given the uncertain
global economic outlook," continued Mercer. Summary of TorontoMLS(r) Sales
