The numbers are in for December 2020... The average sale price in the GTA for the month was $932,222, up 11.2% compared to December 2019. Despite an unprecedented year due to COVID-19, including necessary public health restrictions and uncertainty surrounding the economy, Greater Toronto Area REALTORS reported over 95,000 home sales in 2020 the third-best result on record. The average selling price reached a new record of almost $930,000.... While the housing market as a whole recovered strongly in 2020, there was a dichotomy between the single-family market segments and the condominium apartment segment. The supply of single-family homes remained constrained resulting in strong competition between buyers and double-digit price increases. In contrast, growth in condo listings far-outstripped growth in sales. Increased choice for condo buyers ultimately led to more bargaining power and a year-over-year dip in average condo selling prices during the last few months of the year. Take a look at the breakdown of average sale prices & year-over-year increases/decreases for the 416 area code: Detached = $1,475,758 (+8.1%) Semi-Detached = $1,160,108 (+15.3%) Townhouse = $842,902 (+17.6%) Condo Apartment = $625,828 (-4.7%) #marketupdate #torontorealestate

#ClientLove "We have worked with Jason twice now. The first time we wanted to find and purchase a home within our budget and close within 2 weeks. The second time, we were overseas with a tenant in our condo, and we wanted to sell as quick as possible for fair market value.... Neither one was too tough for Jason as the results for each situation exceeded our expectations. Jason is very attentive, genuine and polite. He took the time to understand each of our situations and he made the extra effort to meet our requests. He was quick to assess time frames and come up with ways to work around them. And he was very successful negotiating with our tenants. He made the whole process easy for us so that we didn't have any additional stress. Jason is overall a fantastic realtor and an easily likeable guy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jason to any of our friends and we would be happy to work with him again." --- Nancy F. & Adam F. #clientlove #happyclients

We'll let you in on a secret... the spring real estate market actually starts in January. Well, not officially. And certainly not in full swing (that doesn't happen until March/April). But the early beginnings of the spring market do start in January.... And while this year is different than years past (we're still under COVID-19 orders after all, until at least late January), we're encouraging our clients to start prepping NOW for Feb/March. For buyers, this means obtaining a mortgage pre-approval, lining up deposit funds, and reviewing the past few months of sales to get an idea of what your budget is going to get you. And for sellers, this means a virtual walk-through with our stager and creating a calendar/timeline to start chipping away at our to-do list so that we're ready for market when the time comes. If you're planning on making a move in the next few months, NOW is the time to lay the ground work. Ready to get started? Give us a shout and we'll help put you a few steps ahead of the competition.

The numbers are in for October 2020... The average sale price in the GTA for the month was $968,318, up 13.7% compared to October 2019. Sales and new listings reached record levels for the month of October. However, year-over-year growth rates for sales and new listings diverged in some market segments. In the detached market segment, the pace of annual sales growth far outstripped growth in new listings. Conversely, the condominium apartment mar...ket segment experienced more than double the new listings compared to October 2019, whereas sales were only up by 2.2 per cent over the same period. Competition between buyers of single-family homes, and particularly detached houses, remained strong and continued to support double-digit annual rates of price growth in many GTA neighbourhoods. In contrast, condo buyers have benefitted from much more choice compared to last year. Pre-COVID polling had already pointed to an increase in investor selling in 2020. The pandemic only added to this trend with a stall in economic growth and a halt to tourism impacting cashflows for many investors. Take a look at the breakdown of average sale prices & year-over-year increases/decreases for the 416 area code: Detached = $1,470,857 (+11.2%) Semi-Detached = $1,154,087 (+4.8%) Townhouse = $828,090 (+4.1%) Condo Apartment = $668,161 (+0.8%) . . . . . #knowyournumbers #knowledgeiskey #treb #marketupdate #torontorealestate #torontohomes #torontocondos #torontorealestateagent #torontorealtor #realestateagent #condo #homes #househunting #firsttimehomebuyer #listingagent #homesellers #toronto #downtowntoronto #torontolife #tdot #the6ix #thesix #the6 #lovetoronto #416 #torontoliving #torontolifestyle #torontolove #torontoigers #igerstoronto

How much can you expect to pay in land transfer taxes? Deposits, home inspections, legal fees, etc! Whenever we start working with a buyer we go though the list of closing costs that they need to budget for. One of the biggies is land transfer taxes. Many provinces have multi-tiered taxation systems that can prove complicated. In Ontario the tax is calculated on the value of the consideration at the following rates ...
