June Toronto Real Estate Market Stats: A Full Circle on Average Sale Prices

Get ready for an insightful market update on the dynamic world of the GTA housing market. In this article, we will explore the recent developments and trends that are shaping the real estate landscape in the Greater Toronto Area. Join us as we delve into the heart of the matter, uncovering the latest happenings in the Toronto real estate market and its surrounding regions. Stay informed with valuable insights and analysis on the ever-evolving state of the market.

Comparing the number of sales in May 2023 to May 2022, we observe a substantial increase of almost 25% in real estate transactions. However, the rising demand has contributed to a challenging supply situation, leading to intensified competition among buyers. As a result, the average home price in the GTA has reached nearly $1.2 million as of May 2023, approaching the average price recorded in May 2022, which stood at $1,196,101.

This upward trend in average prices can be attributed to the limited supply of homes. Active listings have decreased by 23% compared to the same period last year, with only 11,868 properties available. Currently, the months of inventory available in the GTA stands at approximately 1.3 months. In simpler terms, if no new homes were to enter the market, we would run out of available properties in just over a month. Consequently, buyers have adjusted their housing needs to adapt to higher borrowing costs and have re-entered the market.

According to TRREB's Chief Market Analyst, Jason Mercer, the high rental rates and the significant population growth resulting from immigration have also contributed to the overall increase in housing prices. Unfortunately, the number of sellers has not kept pace with the number of buyers, placing additional pressure on home prices in recent times.

Now, let's delve into some regional statistics across the GTA, focusing on Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Durham Region, York Region, and Brampton.
