GTA REALTORS® REPORT CONDOMINIUM TRANSACTIONS IN Q1

Toronto, April 18, 2012 — Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 5,027 condominium apartment transactions in the first quarter of 2012. This result was up by two per cent in comparison to the first quarter of 2011. Over the same period, the number of new listings of condominium apartments was up by 14 per cent.
“With sales increasing moderately year-over-year and listings growing strongly, the condo apartment market became better supplied in the first quarter. With more choice for buyers in the condo market segment compared to the low-rise segment, the average selling price for condos grew at a slower pace in comparison to some low-rise types including detached homes,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Richard Silver.
The average selling price for condominium apartments in the first quarter of 2012 was $334,952 – up by 3.7 per cent from $322,857 in the first quarter of 2011.
“Condominium apartment completions were at the highest level ever in 2011. As projects completed, some units held by investors were listed for sale. As a result, it is not surprising that we saw more moderate rates of price growth in the first quarter. However, the fact that annual price growth remained above the rate of inflation is testament to the fact that demand remains strong for this home type,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis

GTA REALTORS Release March 2025 Stats

Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices have declined over the past year, making monthly payments more manageable for households looking to buy a home. “Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power. Once consumers feel confident in the economy and their job security, home buying activity should improve,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “Given the current trade uncertainty and the upcoming federal election, many households are likely taking a wait-and-see approach to home buying. If trade issues are solved or public policy choices help mitigate the impact of tariffs, home sales will likely increase. Home buyers need to feel their employment situation is solid before ...
