Hot Topic
This week the Toronto Real Estate Board reported that the average price
of a detached home in the 416 has reached $1.15M. When you dive into
the downtown market statistics more specifically that number is actually
closer to $1.5M, up by over $100K in the last month. Also worth noting is the
tremendous price appreciation in the condominium market where average
prices climbed by nearly $40K or almost 8% in the last month to $520K. By
comparison, the average price of a condo in Toronto was $457K just one
year ago. Demand for new, preconstruction highrise condos backed off
slightly this month but the real story in this segment of the market has to be
the performance of new lowrise units that have hit a new record average
price of $775K which is up almost 5% from a month earlier.

OVERHEARD BUZZ
Pre-emptive offers, commonly known as “bully offers” are rampant in Toronto’s bustling real estate
market. For the forseeable future we don’t expect this trend to decline. All the more reason to know how
and when to deploy this buying tactic because it is not for the faint of heart. The truth is that we are hearing
more about bully offers for one main reason...demand continues to grow while supply seems to be slipping.
Overall, we feel that tight market conditions for all home types will continue throughout the year.
TOM BOSLEY’S CORNER
With the Pan Am Games just around the corner, all eyes will be on Toronto. This is our opportunity to prove
that we are a world class city. I have little doubt that the games will create unimaginable opportunities for
us. It is my belief that through good times and bad, people will seek out the stability of global cities such as
ours. At the core, our city’s success is based on a number of fundamentals but having a healthy real estate
market has to be at the top of the list. All the more reason to trust a firm that has been a part of the city’s
success since 1928. I believe that a professional and informed Realtor is your best asset, so if selling or
buying a home is in your future I encourage you to talk to one of our skilled representatives first.
