“After the latest national elections, many households in the GTA monitor the development of our trade relationship with the United States,” said Elechia Barry sample, President of Trreb in a press release. “If this relationship moves in a positive direction, we could see an increase in transactions that are driven by an improved consumer confidence and a market that is both affordable and better delivered.”
The average sales price for all home types throughout the GTA decreased by 4.1 percent to $ 1,107,463 compared to the previous year. The composite benchmark price, which represents a “typical” house in the region, decreased by 5.4 percent to USD 1,009,400.

“The existing levels remained historically increased in April, which indicates a significant choice for households who wanted to buy a house in the GTA,” said Jason Mercer, Chief Information Officer von Treb. “The buyers used this choice when negotiating purchase prices, which led to a lower average price in the market segments compared to the previous year.”
