GTA REALTORS® Report Monthly Resale Housing Figures

May 5, 2010 --Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 10,898 sales through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in April, representing a 34 per cent increase compared to April 2009. There were also 20,683 new listings in April - a 59 % annual increase. Both the sales and new listings results amounted to new records for the month of April under the current Toronto Real Estate Board(TREB) boundaries.
"The GTA resale market is functioning properly. Sales were high as buyers continued to take advantage of affordable home ownership opportunities. Listings grew as home owners reacted to strong sales and price growth," said TREB President Tom Lebour. "More balanced market conditions will result in sustainable rates of annual price growth in the second half of 2010.
The average price for April transactions was $437,600 - up 13 % compared to the average of $385,641 recorded in April 2009.
"Home sales will continue to be driven by many different segments of the market, with sales growth for all major home types in both the City of Toronto and surrounding 905 regions," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. Home sales will remain strong in the second half of 2010, but will slip from current record pace as borrowing costs rise."

GTA REALTORS Release February 2025 Stats

Home buyers continued to benefit from substantial choice in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) resale market in February 2025. Home sales last month were down in comparison to the same period last year, while listing inventory remained high, providing substantial negotiating power for homebuyers. “Many households in the GTA are eager to purchase a home, but current mortgage rates make it difficult for the average household income to comfortably cover monthly payments on a typical property. Fortunately, we anticipate a decline in borrowing costs in the coming months, which should improve affordability,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “On top of lingering affordability concerns, home buyers have arguably become less confident in the economy.
