Hey guys it's Karen from Toronto here. Let's jump right into the real estate statistics marking

the official end of the summer.

It is a hot seller's market here in the Greater Toronto Area with the average property price having increased by 20.1% from $792,134 to $951,404.

The housing sector that saw the highest increase in property values were the semi-detached homes in Toronto and they saw a huge +21.9% increase in prices between August 2019 to August 2020.

The housing sector that saw the lowest increase in property values were Toronto condos and they still saw a substantial +8.7% increase in property values over the past year.

Now to put things in perspective, let's look at the average price of a home. For a fully detached home in Toronto, the average price is $1,505,100. For a semi-detached home, the average price comes in at $1,166,226. While a townhouse in Toronto comes in at an average price of $834,222.

Now for the condo market, the average condo to Toronto comes in at $673,174. In terms of the volume of sales, the month of August reported 10,775 sales, which is an enormous +40.3% increase in the number of transactions compared to the same time last year in August 2019.

Here are some final thoughts.

We're in a strong seller's market. So if you're looking to purchase a property it would be in your best interest to get financially pre-qualified for a mortgage as your very first step. And when you find a property that you love, don't be surprised or turned off if there are multiple offers. You'll want to discuss with your realtor what the best strategies are to secure the home.

On the other hand, if you're thinking of selling a property, keep in mind that these average statistics released by the Toronto Real Estate Board are just one indicator of how the real estate market is doing overall.

The Greater Toronto Area is a huge market with tremendous variation. The local real estate market in your neighbourhood or in your condo building could be very different than these average statistics.

Now, if you're curious to know the estimated value for your property, feel free to reach out to our team.
