Hey guys, it's Karen from Toronto here.

The Toronto real estate board has released the latest statistics for this summer, so let's take a look at the numbers together.

The great news for homeowners is that the average property price has gone up 16.9% from $806,971 to $943,710.

The housing sector that saw the highest increase in value were the detached homes in Toronto, which saw a huge 25.5% increase in values between July 2019 to July 2020. The housing sector that saw the lowest increase in value on average, were Toronto condos and they still saw a significant 8.8% increase in prices 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 $1,541,003. A semi-detached home comes in at an average price of $1,181,014. While a townhouse in Toronto is coming in at $852,284.

Now for the condo market, the average Toronto condo is coming in at $682,999.

In terms of the number of sales, last month July saw 11,081 properties sold in the GTA, which is a large 29.5% increase in the number of properties that have sold compared to the same time last year.

Here are some final thoughts. The numbers that are released by the Toronto real estate board are just one indicator of how the market is doing overall. The Greater Toronto Area is a huge market and there is a tremendous amount of variation within that market. Keep in mind that the local real estate market in your neighbourhood or in your condo building, could be very different than these average statistics.

One thing that I will mention is that these latest numbers from the Toronto real estate board are indicating a strong seller's market, with only 1.8 months of inventory. The substantial price increases for all home types combined with the fact that the average days on market are down by -26.1%, mean that properties are selling much quicker and for substantially more money than they did last summer.
