January 6, 2010 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 87,308 MLS® transactions in 2009 – a 17 per cent increase over 2008. This result included 5,541 sales in December. The 2009 result was in line with the healthy levels of sales experienced between 2004 and 2006, but lower than the record of 93,193 set in 2007.

“After a slow start to the year, existing home sales rebounded during the second half of 2009,” said TREB President Tom Lebour. “As consumer confidence improved, many households moved to take advantage of affordable home ownership opportunities in the GTA. The strong residential real estate sector was a key contributor to overall economic recovery in Canada.”

The average home price in 2009 climbed four per cent to $395,460. The average price for December transactions was $411,931.

“Market conditions became very tight in the latter half of 2009. Sales climbed strongly relative to the number of homes listed for sale, resulting in robust price growth that more than offset average price declines in the winter,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “A greater supply of listings in 2010 will see home prices grow at a sustainable pace.”

Median Price
In December, the median price was $349,000, from the $305,000 recorded during December of 2008.

With household debt-to-income ratios in Canada at historical highs, the Bank of Canada is warning both borrowers and financial institutions to practice caution, particularly when it comes to mortgage lending.

"Financial institutions need to carefully consider the aggregate risk to their entire portfolio of household exposures when evaluating even an insured mortgage, since a household defaulting on an insured mortgage would likely be unable to meet its other debt obligations," the central bank's financial system review said.

On the borrower side, the bank stressed the need for households to "assess their ability to service these debt obligations over their entire maturity, taking into account likely changes in both income and interest rates." The warnings can be seen as a response to the current views that Canada could be heading toward a housing bubble.

Some good news in the report came on the topic of liquidity, with the Bank of Canada saying Canada's major banks have increased their stock of liquid assets and reliance on stable funding sources, "bolstering" their ability to provide credit during periods of stress. The report also said market-based funding is improving and that conditions in the international financial system have improved considerably since the last financial system review in June.

December 3, 2009 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 7,446 sales in November – slightly more than double the November 2008 result when GTA home sales had dipped markedly due to the economic downturn. Year-to-date sales were up 14 per cent compared to the first 11 months of 2008.

“This year in the GTA home sales will be in line with the healthy levels experienced between 2004 and 2006,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour. “Increased resale home transactions in the Toronto area and country-wide played a key role in pushing the Canadian economy out of recession in the third quarter.”

The average price for November transactions was up 14 per cent year-over-year to $418,460. The average price year-to-date was up four per cent to $394,464.

“Very strong annual growth rates for sales and average price should be expected through the first quarter of 2010, because we will be comparing the current recovery to the housing market decline experienced last winter,” according to Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “As we move into the spring, growth rates will move to more sustainable levels.” have been high relative to listings,” according to Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “Watch for listings to rebound in 2010 as home owners react to the strong sales and price growth experienced in the latter half of this year.”

Median Price
In November, the median price was $353,800, from the $312,250 recorded during November of 2008.

The first reason is that interest rates are at an all time low giving buyers an opportunity to upgrade or even purchasing their first home. Secondly, the conception that home prices are much lower than a year ago and that the market is on the rise so people are quickly trying to buy and lastly many buyers have sat and waited for the market to bottom out and have begun buying.

What does all this mean? We have seen the market over the past couple of months shift from a buyers to a sellers market. Looking back at July of 2008 we did see sales, we saw decent prices but we also saw high inventory. This has changed this past month.

In July of 2009 we saw sales rise between 10% and 22% in the different neighbourhoods. This is a huge increase over last year. Where people felt that prices were low we saw an increase of close to a percentage point in price of homes in Brampton.

Some of the shocking news that leads me to believe that this hot market will remain is that we have seen the inventory of homes in Brampton decrease by as much as 40% over this period last year. A low inventory creates a very strong sellers market. We, for the first time in years are now witnessing multiple offers and even bidding wars in some cases. We have seen the amount of time a home stays on the market has dropped by as much as 15% in Brampton.

What this means for sellers is that if you are considering selling your property get your home on the market now. There is a wave that you may ride something that we have not seen since 2007. This is not all bad news for buyers with the interest rates as low as they are you really are paying less for that dream home you are looking to find. The most important thing for buyers is make sure that you are working with a professional who knows and understands the market you are looking for. The days of sitting by your computer and surfing for homes are gone. You need daily updates of listings for the homes you want and the only way that you are able to receive this is from a Real Estate professional that gets this information hourly.
