Welcome to 2016! Today we are sending out our first update on the 2016 Toronto housing market. Many of you have been seeing in the news that in terms of home sales and home prices, 2015 was huge. Can we expect more of the same in 2016? We've been getting a lot of questions about it, and today we're going to clear things up. 

We are anticipating another strong year of sales in Toronto. According to TD Economics anticipates a 1-3% dip in home prices over the next 2.5 years. That dip hasn't happened yet, and may not until the end of the year. 

As for what the market looks like right now, we have had a very strong start to the year. We've had 14 listings go on the market this month from just our office alone. January is starting out red-hot in Toronto, and we expect home prices and home sales to continue to go up, with prices dipping a bit later in the year. Another thing that may affect home prices is the unemployment rate. A 1% increase in unemployment could have a significant effect on prices. 


The sellers we are helping that are on the market right now are thrilled with the offers they've been getting and in many areas, homes are selling in less than 2 weeks for full asking price or more. 

If you have any questions, or have been thinking about buying or selling in Toronto, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

  1. Well! I don't know if this is a sign for things to come in 2016 or not. Unemployment may not impact the homes for sale in Toronto as much as interest rates and wage growth.
