Market conditions continued to tighten in July as the number of sales outpaced new listings. Sales in July 2019 were up by 24.3% compared to July 2018 while new listings were down 3.7%. The average price for all homes was up 3.2% on a year-over-year basis.
Affordable options such as semi-detached homes, townhomes, and condos continue to show strength. Detached home prices were down in some municipalities including Toronto. However, lower detached home prices are attributable to a slow down in sales in $1.5M+ market.
Certain asset classes and neighbourhoods continue to outperform while others do not. Buyers, sellers, and investors should seek the advice of a professional REALTOR®️ before making any decisions in the present market.
The Bank of Canada changed the five-year benchmark qualifying rate for mortgages in July from 5.34% to 5.19%. This will increase buying power by up to 1.4% and should have a positive impact on market activity as we move into the Fall market.
