Toronto and Etobicoke Real Estate Home Sales for September 2020
Are you wondering how the Toronto and Etobicoke Real Estate Home Sales were in September 2020?
The numbers are in and I’ve got some great news for you, the real estate market continues to break records!
Last month sales reported through TRREB’s MLS® System were 11,083 – a new record for the month of September. This result was up by 42.3% compared to September 2019.
Low interest rates, the ability to work from home for many of us, the desire for bigger space coupled with a lot of pent up demand were a potent combination for September 2020 real estate sales. The month was the fourth in a row where both home sales and prices have set new records with average prices up by 14%
Detached homes were driving the market as year over year, the average price increase of 12.9% for a detached home was about twice that for condos at 6.6%. September 2020 total sales of detached homes grew by 54.7% over the same period last year compared to 14.6% for condos.
Increased listing inventory of all property types helped fuel September’s sales activity. Compared to the past five year average, new listings entering the market were up by 28.9%. Despite this increase, the GTA is still a tight market – average Listing Days On Market were down by 27% compared to the five year average. This speed in the sales cycle kept September’s number of Active Listings to a modest 6.4% increase over what September has seen for the past 5 years.
The demand for properties is still strong as we enter the last few months of the year. Further improvements in the economy, including job growth, would support strong home sales moving forward. However, we are in the midst of a second wave and will need to monitor the trajectory of COVID-19 cases, the related government policy response, and the impact on jobs and consumer confidence.
