As we near the end of 2024, the real estate market in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) reflects notable trends and insights that can shape your buying or selling decisions. Here’s an overview of the key statistics and developments from November 2024.
Home Sales
GTA REALTORS® reported 5,875 home sales through the MLS® System in November 2024, a significant increase of 40.1% compared to 4,194 sales in November 2023. This resurgence indicates renewed activity, largely fueled by improved borrowing conditions and reduced inflation.
Average Selling Price
The average selling price rose to $1,106,050, marking a 2.6% increase year-over-year from $1,077,891 in November 2023. While prices remain well below their historic peaks, this growth signals strengthening buyer confidence in the market.
New Listings and Market Conditions
New listings saw a modest 6.6% increase, reaching 11,592 compared to 10,870 in November 2023. Despite this growth, the rise in home sales has tightened market conditions, shifting towards a seller-friendly environment in certain property segments.
Property Type Breakdown
Detached Homes: Average price of $1,695,939 with 2,669 sales.
Semi-Detached Homes: Average price of $1,248,930 with 502 sales.
Townhouses: Average price of $1,077,254 with 582 sales.
Condos: Average price of $689,599 with 1,640 sales.
Detached homes, particularly in Toronto, showed price growth exceeding the inflation rate, while the condominium segment offered buyers more options and negotiation power.
Key Trends and Insights
Tightening Market: The demand for single-family homes is increasing, leading to annual price growth surpassing inflation rates, particularly for detached properties.
Buyer Opportunities in Condos: Condo buyers benefit from a wide selection and strong negotiation leverage, encouraging renters to transition into homeownership.
Rental Market: Population growth continues to sustain rental demand, though reforms to the Landlord and Tenant Board could improve housing availability for both tenants and landlords.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
With borrowing costs trending lower and home prices on the rise, buyers have a limited window to lock in favorable conditions, especially in the condominium market. Sellers, particularly in competitive detached home markets, can capitalize on the heightened demand by pricing their properties strategically.
