The Toronto area had 27,037 active listings at the end of November and had 3640 sales for 7.4 months of inventory. This is far, far less than the Vancouver, Fraser Valley, or BC Interior markets which are well over 20 months of inventory right now.

I find it interesting that the GTA, with more than double the population of the GVA, has less listings than the GVA. The combined listings of the REBGV and FVREB was over 30,000 at the end of November and sales were less than 1,500. Amazing.

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this blog I found it very informative. Real estate may be down, but there is grants to bring it up.

Rising mortgage carrying costs will cool home ownership demand, particularly for first time buyers who have not benefited from the previous six years of strong price growth. Slowing sales combined with record levels of listings have pushed the Canadian existing home market into balanced territory. Balanced market conditions will keep future house price growth more in line with the general rate of inflation, although the Canadian average price will also be impacted by compositional effects.see more in Toronto Condo

ReplyDelete"Soft market" is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the financial sector, though if you've never before heard of such a thing,
it's nowhere near as arcane as it might sound. You may be more familiar with the concept when it's referred to as a "buyer's market."

Hi there
ReplyDeleteThe process of selling the property can take up to one year even if it is in good condition, but that is already twelve months of paying the mortgage which means less money on your pocket when you finally get to sell it. If you want to sell the property fast and with less hassle, finding real estate investors is a great option in this case.Read more at-how to find real estate investors

This is not an optional thing, so you will probably want the best price. Getting moving quotes from various different movers will allow you to choose the relocation company that offers the services that you want at a price that you can afford. Movers Near Me
