The GTA housing market continued to tighten in August, with both home sales and new listings declining compared to last year. Home sales decreased 2.1% year over year, with 5,057 homes sold across the GTA, while new listings fell 14.1% to 12,075. With fewer homes available for buyers to choose from, competition could increase in some neighbourhoods and potentially put upward pressure on prices in the months ahead. 📈🏘️
The average selling price came in at $993,410, down 2.7% from last year, while the MLS® HPI Composite benchmark declined 4.5% year over year. 💼🔍
Compared to July, home sales edged lower on a seasonally adjusted basis, while new listings increased. At the same time, the MLS® HPI Composite benchmark remained essentially flat and the average selling price edged higher, pointing to early signs of stabilization as we head into the fall market. 📊
With inventory, buyer activity and pricing continuing to shift across the GTA, staying informed is more important than ever for both buyers and sellers.
