Text:"1120" to 1-800-408-7730 for photos +video Home Prices are Steadying Home Prices are Steadying Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 7,834 sales through TREB's MLS® System in May 2018. While the number of sales was down year- over-year, the annual rate of decline was less than reported in February, March and April. On a month-over-month basis, seasonally adjusted May sales were basically flat compared to April 2018 and the average selling price was up by 1.1 per cent. Supply of homes available for sale continued to be an issue. New listings were down by 26.2 per cent. The fact that new listings were down by more than sales in comparison to last year means that competition increased between buyers. Recent polling conducted by Ipsos for TREB suggests that listing intentions are down markedly since the fall. . "Home ownership remains a sound long-term investment. Unfortunately, many home buyers are still finding it difficult to find a home that meets their needs. In a recent Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis study undertaken for the Toronto Real Estate Board, it was found that many people are over-housed in Ontario, with over five mil- lion extra bedrooms. These people don't list their homes for sale, because they feel there are no alternative housing types for them to move into. Policy makers need to fo- cus more on the 'missing middle' - home types that bridge the gap between detached houses and condominium apartments," said Mr. Syrianos. . "Market conditions are becoming tighter in the Greater Toronto Area and this will pro- vide support for home prices as we move through the second half of 2018 and into 2019. There are emerging indicators pointing toward increased competition between buyers, which generally leads to stronger price growth. In the City of Toronto, for ex- ample, aver-age selling prices were at or above average listing prices for all major home types in May," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Director of Market Analysis. .
