Royal LePage is raising its forecast for 2022, despite some signs suggesting that the real estate market might finally be moderating after a frenzied run up in prices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The real estate brokerage had initially forecast Canadian home prices to rise by 10.5 per cent in 2022 but itthat it expects prices to be up 15 per cent by the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by a continued acceleration in the Greater Toronto Area.

Speaking with CP24 on Tuesday morning, Royal LePage President and CEO Phil Soper said that while there are signs that there could be some change afoot in the market, with the number of listings “increasingly slightly” in recent months, there is nothing to suggest that a correction is on the horizon. Real estate prices have surged during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the first quarter of 2022 the average price of a detached home in four Golden Horsehsoe communities - Barrie, Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo and Oshawa – all surpassed $1 million for the first time.

They will lie thru their teeth to squeeze the last bit of money from the buyers. Never believe a word from ppl who have skin on the game. Conflict of interest.

What signs? Lol, Cmon guys, 8 months ago houses were going for a million $$ and now the same homes are going for $1.8 - $1.9 million

who the hell are buying these homes? you need an income of about 200k just to buy the average home and yet everyone seems to be able to get mortgages for making half that. something is so wrong

Yes, keep playing the greater fool game. House prices only go up. Ignore the soaring rates.

One last pump in hopes to spur demand. Let see how this plays out.

3.70% heloc, 3.5-4% 5 year fixed , if we get another 50 bps the market is toast
