Sales Activity and Average Price-
After a pronounced dip in market activity between mid-March and the end of May, market conditions improved dramatically in the second half of the year, with multiple consecutive months of record sales and average selling prices.
“The Greater Toronto Area housing market followed an unfamiliar path in 2020. Following the steep COVID-induced drop-off in demand during the spring, home sales roared back to record levels throughout the summer and fall. A strong economic rebound in many sectors
of the economy, ultra-low borrowing costs and the enhanced use of technology for virtual open houses and showings fuelled and sustained the housing market recovery,” said Lisa Patel, Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President.
As Usual detached home sales topped with the total sales activity of 3,038 but compared to Nov 2020 it was 4,222 decrease percentage difference of 28% is noted. so the overall detached house property demand is still going well in GTA but look at the condo apt sales, it marked 2nd
highest with the total sale 2,193 it’s because a lot of individuals decided to buy a condo and pay a mortgage instead of paying high rentals.
