Mid-november MLS statistics - Greater Toronto

Natalie Korchuk — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:27:00 GMT

TORONTO, November 16, 2011 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 3,379 transactions through the TorontoMLS® during the first two weeks of November. This result represented more than a 13 per cent increase compared to November 2010. New listings were up 16 per cent over the same period.

“The results for the first two weeks of November point to two important facts:

First, despite global economic uncertainty, buyers have remained confident in the affordable housing market in the GTA.

Second, stronger growth in new listings means that it is becoming easier for buyers to find a home that meets their needs,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Richard Silver.

The average selling price through the first 14 days of November was $481,548 – up by 10 per cent compared to the average of $437,510 reported for the first two weeks of November 2010.

“Little or no movement is expected for mortgage rates through 2012. Low rates coupled with the consensus outlook for continued economic growth next year suggests that homes will remain affordable in the GTA and households will remain confident in doing deals. Look for the average selling price to advance to the $485,000 mark next year,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Canadians don't regret their mortgage choices

Natalie Korchuk — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:19:00 GMT

Canadians have heard the many cautions about carrying too much debt and are taking action to insulate themselves from future economic downturns, says an annual report by the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP).

Highlights of the report say:

* About one-third (32 per cent) of homeowners with mortgages had some mortgage activity in 2011, with 23 per cent renewing or refinancing their mortgage.

* Fixed-rate mortgages remain most popular (at 60 per cent), while 31 per cent have variable rate mortgages.

* Among those who renewed their mortgage in the past 12 months, 78 per cent saw a reduction in their rate.

* Among those who renewed or refinanced their mortgages in the last year, 21 per cent changed lenders.

* Levels of equity takeout have dropped in 2011 – only 10 per cent of mortgage holders took out equity in the last year, a 40 per cent drop from 2010.

“Overall, our survey paints a picture of Canadians generally and homeowners in particular as very focused on their finances. They are planning ahead, aggressively paying down their mortgage in advance of any further economic jolt,” says Jim Murphy, president and CEO of CAAMP. “Prudent is the word that best sums up how Canadians are feeling at this time.”

“Despite less than positive feelings towards the economy, or maybe because of that, Canadians are showing a level of prudence in their decisions that is inspiring,” says Murphy. “That suggests to us that there is no need for policy makers to introduce new measures that would reduce housing activity.”

September real estate figures

Natalie Korchuk — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:05:00 GMT

October 5, 2011 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 7,658 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in September – a 25 per cent increase over September 2010. Sales during the first three quarters of 2011 amounted to 70,588, representing a 2.6 per cent increase compared to the first nine months of 2010.

However, while sales have been strong, we have continued to experience a shortage of listings, resulting in more competition between home buyers.
"Over the past few months, the listing situation has started to improve, so we expect home buyers will have more homes to choose from in the months ahead." With annual growth in sales (+25 per cent) outstripping annual growth in new listings (+15 per cent) in September, market conditions became tighter and the average selling price continued to grow by close to 10 per cent on a year-over-year basis.

"As buyers continue to take advantage of the affordable home ownership options in the GTA, we remain on pace for the second best year for sales under the current TREB market area."

R.E. Market Watch-May 2011

Natalie Korchuk — Sun, 08 May 2011 01:26:00 GMT

TORONTO, May 4, 2011 -

-- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 9,041 existing home sales through

the TorontoMLS® system in April 2011.

This result was down 17 per cent compared April 2010 when sales spiked to a new record of 10,898.

While off last year’s record result, April 2011 sales were in line with the average April sales level reported

over the previous five years.

“Existing home sales have been strong from a historic perspective through the first four months of 2011.

Expect the pace of sales to remain robust through the spring, as the economy expands and home buyers

continue to benefit from affordable home ownership opportunities,” said Toronto Real Estate Board

(TREB) President Bill Johnston.

Market conditions tightened markedly over the last year. April 2011 sales accounted for 62 per cent of

new listings during the month – up substantially from 53 per cent in April 2010. Tighter conditions

resulted in the average April selling price growing by nine per cent annually to $477,407.

The strong price growth experienced in April should result in more listings

and more balanced market conditions.

Market Watch : MID‐MONTH RESALE HOUSING FIGURES

Natalie Korchuk — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 01:10:00 GMT

APRIL 18, 2011 ‐‐ Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,444 sales during the first two

weeks of April 2011 –a three per cent decrease compared to the first two weeks of April 2010. The

number of new listings was down by 21 per cent compared to the same period last year.

“ales activity was quite strong during the first two weeks of April. If this level of activity is sustained for

the remainder of the month, we could see April transactions close to last year’ record result. Positive

economic news has kept households confident in their ability to purchase and pay for a home over the

long term,”said TREB President Bill Johnston.

The average selling price for firm deals reported through the first two weeks of April was $483,165,

representing a 12 per cent increase over the average price of $430,271 reported during the same period

last year.

“The strong rate of price growth reported for the first two weeks of April should entice more households

to list their homes for sale. This would result in more balanced market conditions and more moderate

rates of price growth.”

TD Mortgages To Become Collateral Charges

Natalie Korchuk — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 12:22:00 GMT

TD is making a big change with respect to how it registers its mortgages.

Effective October 18, all new TD mortgages will be registered as “collateral charges.”

A collateral charge is a different way to secure a home loan than a standard mortgage. "The terms of a collateral mortgage are outlined in a loan agreement that's not registered," says Invis's Gary Siegle. "With a regular mortgage, the terms are in a 'registered document'."

Effectively, collateral charges allow lenders to change the interest rate and/or loan more money to qualified borrowers after closing, without involving a lawyer.* That saves the borrower legal costs if he/she needs to withdraw equity from their home.

In TD’s case, customers will now be able to register their mortgage for up to 125% of the value at closing. Hence, if one’s property value goes from $200,000 to $250,000, qualified borrowers will be able to withdraw most of that new equity without refinancing.

Sales Strong in November

Natalie Korchuk — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 11:42:00 GMT

December 3, 2010 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS reported 6,510 existing home sales in November – down 13 per cent from 7,446 sales in November 2009. New listings were also down 13 per cent annually to 8,642.
.

"The GTA resale market has tightened since the summer. Healthy market conditions continued to support growth in the average selling price," said TREB President Bill Johnston. " We remain on track for one of the best years on record under the current TREB market area," continued Johnston.

The average selling price for November transactions was $438,030 - up five per cent compared to November 2009.

"The average selling price in the GTA is affordable. A household earning the average income can comfortably cover the mortgage payments on an average priced home. Expect the average selling price to grow at a moderate pace over the next year," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis
