JULY 2017 TREB MID-MONTH STATISTICS July 20, 2017 – Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 2,670 residential transactions through TREB’s MLS® System during the first 14 days of July 2017. This result was down 39.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2016. The greatest year-over-year decline in sales was noted for the detached market segment. The lowest annual rate of decline was noted for the condominium apartment market segment. The number of new listings entered into the system was up by 6.5 per cent year-over-year. While still up compared to last year, the annual rate of growth for new listings has declined markedly, from over 40 per cent in mid-May, and over 20 per cent in mid-June, to less than seven per cent in mid-July. With sales down and new listings up year-over-year, the market was better supplied compared to last year. This translated into a more moderate 7.4 per cent annual growth rate for the average selling price, which was $760,356 for all home types combined. When breaking down average price growth by geography, an interesting dichotomy has developed between the City of Toronto and the surrounding ‘905’ area code regions for some market segments. The annual growth rate for the average detached price in the ‘416’ area code was 12.1 per cent, compared to 2.7 per cent for the ‘905’ regions. The annual growth rate for the average condominium apartment price was 30.5 per cent in the ‘416’ area code versus 12.4 per cent in the surrounding ‘905’ regions.
