The October 2024 GTA market report highlights a housing market on the upswing, with improving buyer activity and steady price trends. While challenges remain, especially in affordability and inventory, the outlook for the coming months suggests a dynamic market for both buyers and sellers.
The GTA real estate market is showing signs of recovery! Home sales surged by 8.5% in September 2024, with buyers taking advantage of interest rate cuts and new lending guidelines.
From May to August, home sales consistently declined year-over-year, with drops ranging from 5.3% to 21.7%. Despite this, new listings increased each month, providing buyers with more options and negotiation power. Average selling prices fell year-over-year but showed slight stabilization in July and August. Looking ahead, lower mortgage rates may boost demand later in 2024, potentially driving prices up in 2025. For now, buyers can take advantage of current inventory levels and moderate prices.
