January Toronto Real Estate Market was Strong

Market Watch

Good Start to 2011

February 4, 2011 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,337 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in January 2011. This result was 13 per cent lower than the record result reported in January 2010.

"While off the record pace experienced a year ago, the GTA resale market has started the year on a solid footing. Home buyers in Toronto and surrounding areas continue to benefit from a diversity of housing types for sale at many different price points," said TREB President Bill Johnston.

The average selling price for January 2011 sales was $427,037, representing an increase of over four per cent compared to the average of $409,058 reported in January 2010.

"The average selling price is expected to grow at a moderate pace in 2011. Growth rates in the three to five per cent range will be sustainable from an affordability perspective," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Median Price
In January, the median price was $360,000, from the $350,000 recorded during January of 2010.

Beware of purchasing in the US

I have seeen lots of companies promoting purchasing properties in the US, be careful. I have seen some statistics showing that the US will have another real estate drop. Before purchasing in the US make sure that you understand the tax laws and that you understand what factors will affect the real estate market in the future, such as unemployment.
