PORTFOLIO SUMMARY6
MARKET OUTLOOK
Seller’s market conditions continued throughout the GTA in February:
- Strong competition between buyers resulted in a healthy growth in selling prices, driving the average selling price in the GTA up by 14.9%, on a year-over-year basis to $685,2784
- As a result of strong sales up against a constrained supply of listings, home prices in the 905 region continued to trend strongly upward, increasing 15.5% on a year-over-year basis to $575,715,4
- Even after accounting for the leap year day, sales were above the previous record for February set back in 201044
- Sales were up strongly from the 15th day of the month onward as well, despite the new federal mortgage lending guidelines coming into effect that require at least a 10 per cent down payment on the portion of purchase prices between $500,000 and $1,000,0004
