Housing Market Insight February 2023
February 2023 – GTA Housing Market News
Here is our quick market update for the Toronto Real Estate Board and Milton area.
As you’ve probably heard, the Bank of Canada held the current interest rate at 4.5%, for the first time in a year. We will be watching to see how this impacts the Spring market in the coming weeks and months.
In February 2023, TREB saw 47% fewer sales, but market conditions remain tight as new listings are also down roughly 40%, keeping low inventory. The average sale price is $1,095,000 among all home types, which is down about 18% from this time last year but is an increase from January.
In Milton, the average sale price for all home types was $975,000, selling on average for 100% of the asking price and within 14 days on the market, which signals that we are still very much in a seller’s market. The average price for a detached home in Milton is $1,318,000 which is where prices were just before the spike in prices we saw last year. We are still seeing sale prices well ahead of where we were pre-pandemic.
Keep in mind, micro-markets vary quite a bit, so if you have any questions about the market or your home in particular, reach out anytime, we are here to help.

“What the heck is going on in the real estate market?!
I want to talk about what we are currently seeing in the real estate market but I think it’s important to first take a step back and look at the whole picture.
As we all know, a lot has changed over the past few years starting off with insane price growth throughout the pandemic followed by many interest rate hikes aka higher borrowing costs resulting in a drop in home prices.
And here we are.
As you can see prices have come down to where they were at the beginning of 2021 in Milton and at the beginning of 2020 in Burlington. Some call it a price correction.
Regardless, for anyone who has owned their home for 3+ years, their value is likely up.
Now let’s look at interest rates. Historically, we never saw interest rates as low as we did over the past few years. They are currently sitting where they were in 2008 and prior.
So if you were to purchase a home today, at a lower purchase price, in comparison to last year, you wouldn’t need as large of a downpayment and the land transfer tax would be less. Yes, interest rates aren’t at an all-time low but you’re spending less when purchasing.
Over the past few weeks, we have seen a pickup in showings & number of offers on desirable, well-priced homes.
At the end of the day, buy and sell when it makes sense for your particular situation.
If you have any questions, as always reach out. We are always happy to chat.”

Housing Market Insight October 2022
October 2022 – GTA Housing Market News
Real Estate stats worth noting
From September to October 2022 home prices & number of transactions fell flat (meaning we saw a 0% increase month over month).
Why?
Simply due to lack of inventory.
Where do home prices sit when looking at the last year? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years?
➡️ Year 6% decrease
➡️ 2 years 11% increase
➡️ 5 years 28% increase
➡️ 10 years 54% increase
This is why it’s important to look at the larger picture and not try to time the market.
Buy and sell when it makes sense for you and your particular situation.
