➕october 2023➕
Lack of affordability and uncertainty of interest rate decisions remained barriers for many would-be home buyers in Toronto. As a result, sales edged slightly lower, vs. October 2022. Yet, robust population growth and a resilient regional economy generated enough competition to increase the overall selling prices by 3% when compared to last year.
Similar to last month, the dynamics varied within the housing market segments. Average selling prices for detached homes rose by an impressive 7%, semi-detached homes saw a 5% increase, while townhomes experienced a 1% uptick. In contrast, the condo market segment witnessed a 2% decline compared to October 2022.
Looking ahead, there is a consensus that once borrowing rates start trending lower, demand will likely return to the market. Based on the most recent Bank of Canada announcement, this shift may occur around mid-2024.
