[ ] Week 25! Birch Cliff still holds the top spot as Toronto’s most in-demand and best performing community from East to West. It’s the only community to record a decrease in active listings despite a 3x increase in number of sales (sales volume). Houses are performing well everywhere and condos are hit or miss right now. Some buildings are getting multiple offers and seeing for huge numbers. While you can’t even give them away in other buildings. It’s really hard for me to generalize here so if you’re transacting in the condo space then we should talk privately. 

Toronto’s unemployment rate of 14.7% has been increasing month over month is a bit of a concern still. Although the majority of home buyers seem to be largely unaffected and we aren’t seeing too much panic selling outside of a few condo buildings at the moment so I suspect we’ll see an improvement in that percentage as we head into Fall. 

Sales Volume increased again for both condos and houses which is nice to see because we’re also seeing listing numbers increase (despite the sales volume). Available urban houses surpassed 500 units this past week. A number we haven’t seen in a few months. This could mean we’re on a path to a mare balanced market. If you’ve recently bought or are in throws of it you know how competitive it is. This should be good news for you!

Similar story to last week without much change here. Sure we’ve got some downward movement in house and condo average/median pricing but that’s a typical slow down for these communities at the end of Summer. We should see another week of relatively weak numbers and an uptick in about 2-3 weeks here. Days on market for condos is something to watch here as it’s approach gin 6 mths. For me the 6mth threshold is an important one. Hey at least we’re not Miami…they have a 2.5yr inventory. That’s not a typo.

Another area where we’ve got an uptick in active listings along with an uptick in sales volume. More than double the sales of houses this week but 5 more available listings. Seems like Sellers are finally waking up to the big numbers homes are being sold for and testing the waters. There will come a time when the market is well supplied and things cool. Just a normal cycle that we’ve seen since 2009. Condos however have maintained a relatively low supply so the increase is less noticeable. 

House Average Price: $2,030,252
House Median Price: $2,080,000
55 Active Listings 
13 Firm Sales This Week
Months of Inventory (MoI) ~ 1.17  

Condo Average Price: $726,931
Condo Median Price: $725,000
177 Active Listings
9 Firm Sales This Week
MoI ~ 2.94

The majority of the sales were sub $1m two-bedroom homes that needed work so that’s why the average and medial were lower this week. Inventory remains extremely low and Sellers firmly rooted in the driver’s seat most of the time. 

House Average Price: $1,119,550
House Median Price: $965,250 
20 Active Listings 
10 Firm Sales This Week
Months of Inventory (MoI) ~ 1.23
