*** Review of the Greater Toronto Area's residential real estate market for 2020: No economist or Realtor could have predicted that during an unprecedented year due to COVID-19, including necessary public health restrictions and uncertainty surrounding the economy that so many homes would have traded. There were over 95,000 home sales in 2020 the third-best result on record with the average selling price reaching a new record of almost $930,000. Sales growth was stronges...t in the GTA's regions surrounding Toronto, in markets like Brampton, Durham Region and Oakville where supply of available homes for sale dropped substantially during a time of insatiable buyer demand (Pushing prices up - Brampton:15%, Oakville: 19% and Durham Region: 15% over 2019). Months of inventory levels in Brampton and Durham Region have turned to record lows, if no further property was listed for sale in those areas they would be sold out in 10 days! The City of Toronto saw strong price growth with prices up over 11%, however, the total volume of sales were down slightly, just over 1% in 2020. This is in large part due to the resale condominium market where supply levels started to rise as investors struggled to rent their units for either the short or long term. Buyers of this home type look to have waited and we are now starting to see a resurgence in the sales of condominiums in Toronto, volume of condo purchases were up over 75% during the month of December. You could reason that with the recent news and implementation of a vaccine, all time low interest rates and condo prices softening slightly that condo buyers feel the time is now to make a purchase. The new condo construction market saw continued strength as we wrapped up the year with many new launches seeing continued strong demand as real estate continues to be a safer place to invest. If you have any questions about upcoming 2021 developments please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for reading . Know that I am only a call, email or text message away for any of your real estate questions, I am always happy to help. Wishing you all the best for a safe and prosperous 2021! Kevin

* Happy New Year! I hope you have had a great holiday season with some purposeful time off, to rest, reflect and connect (virtually!) with friends and family. This has been the most unusual holiday season in modern history, however a necessary requirement as we manage through the last stretch until Covid-19 is under control... * Year in Review... On January 1st, 2020 we ushered in a new decade, full of opportunity and hope for exciting times in this globally recognized place we call home. This amazing place with a solid economic foundation, record population growth and low interest rates had the perfect story for growth and demand for Real Estate. Coined the Roaring 20’s, we certainly began the year that way, with low inventory and strong interest in home ownership driving prices of Condominiums to all time highs in February and setting the stage for further recovery in Detached housing since the correction in 2017. We all now know what happened next! The world abruptly changed with the arrival of Covid-19, a newly recognized strain of Coronavirus that evolved into to a Global Pandemic. Despite the set back of the second wave, we are on our way to successfully controlling and eliminating the virus. We are not out of the woods yet, however the amount of investment made to find a vaccine, understand how to control the spread, how to help those that become ill and keep our communities functioning is impressive. We must now look forward to the opportunity to apply what we have learned, to keep ourselves safe and rebuild on the foundation of strength our communities had when we entered this challenging time. * Year Ahead In 2021, the combination of the Federal Banks commitment to low rates until at least 2023, the Federal Governments further $100 Billion commitment to Covid Relief and the delivery of multiple vaccines with 95% efficacy will be the foundation of our recovery. As we progress through the new year, confidence will grow as more people will be vaccinated, our economy will continue to open, and of course our strong population growth will resume. These factors coupled with the limited supply of homes will likely lead to price increases as the year evolves. * Thank you A few things I hope will endure as we emerge from this crisis include, a better understanding of what we can accomplish when we focus and commit to a challenge, that we must not take for granted the opportunity we have living in this incredible place we call home, and that we can make a difference by simply asking, how can I help? We are grateful to have an opportunity to assist with your real estate needs in 2020 and we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead. From our family to you and yours, we wish you the absolute best for a happy, healthy and bright 2021! Happy New Year! Kevin

Hello Friends, Winter is upon us and I hope you and your families are staying safe and healthy as we enter into this second round of COVID-19 lockdowns across the GTA. I am reaching out to give you a brief but informative update on the Residential Real Estate Market. The month of November saw a busy real estate market with sales up over 24% compared to November 2019 and prices up 13% respectively. Inventory levels also rose slightly over last year, up 15% to 13,798 homes av...ailable for sale, putting the months of inventory number at only 1.57 months. This figure represents a strong seller's market as the Toronto Real Estate Board would be sold out of listings in just over a month and a half if another listing was not taken. We have seen some softening in the resale condominium market in the major city centres like Toronto and Mississauga as investors have begun to exit the market as they have found it more and more difficult to find tenants. The 905 resale condo market has remained consistent with prices appreciating and the volume of sales up. This is due to affordability and the cost of borrowing. It is much easier for first time home buyers to enter the market their and many renters are now finding it affordable to own with interest rates at all time lows. On the investment side developers who launched projects throughout the year and are sitting on some remaining inventory are starting to announce attractive promotions in an attempt to sell a few more units before the end of 2020. If you were considering making an investment now is a great time, please do not hesitate to contact me with any equiries I wish you, your family and friends a fabulous holiday season. Stay healthy and safe and know that I am always here to assist you with any of your real estate questions. --

Hello Friends, I hope you are enjoying the fall season and staying healthy as we all navigate the through the pandemic. I wanted to reach out to give you a brief update on the residential real estate market. Home prices for the month of October are up over 13%, with the volume of sales also jumping up 25% across the Greater Toronto Area. ... In smaller sub markets like Brampton and the entire Durham Region, in October the volume of transactions has soared up over 40% and prices up almost 20% in both communities. The demand for real estate in these areas has drastically increased due to the affordability of the real estate, approximately $865,000 in Brampton and $740,000 in Durham Region and with interest rates being at all time lows it is drawing more buyers into the market that may have not had the ability to afford a home before. In major city centres like Toronto and Mississauga we have seen the demand and prices of resale condominiums begin to flatten out. In Toronto prices were only up slightly for the month, just under 1% with the volume of trades down almost 9%. Mississauga saw prices go up slightly for condominiums by just over 2% with demand sliding down almost 5% compared to the same period last year. Condominiums have been appreciating at an average of 6% a year for a long time and many sellers are looking to cash out as the demand for rental units declines. Where we are seeing gains in the condo market are in the outlying communities that surround the larger city centres. Toronto and Mississauga have seen the inventory of condos for sale rise with demand unable to keep up. The outlying communities have seen strong demand due to affordability and for the simple idea that people are looking for locations that offer something a little different than downtown living. The demand for new condominiums has remained steady as more and more developers have launched their projects before the end of the year. The purchase of a new condo enables the buyer to greatly spread out the deposits required to buy, not requiring the 20% down you would need to purchase a resale condo investment. If you have any investing questions please never hesitate to contact me. Stay well and stay safe. Know that I am always available to answer your real estate questions, I hope to speak with you soon. -- Kind regards, Kevin
