Spring is traditionally a much more active time in the housing market, but the number of listings has not kept pace with the rising level of buyer interest. New listings, of which there were 11,184, were down 44.25% on a year-over-year basis, indicating that the market is seeing even tighter conditions than March of last year, TRREB says.
As to be expected, with market conditions tightening, home prices began to inch up. Although still down 14.6% compared to March 2022, last month’s average GTA home price crept up 1.2% from February to $1,108,606. Detached homes saw the largest price jump, increasing 4.9% to $1,468,651. Semi-detached homes sat at $1,087,924, townhouses at $935,626, and condo apartments at $703,566.
“Lower inflation and greater uncertainty in financial markets has resulted in medium-term bond yields to trend lower,” Mercer said. “This has and will continue to result in lower fixed rate borrowing costs this year. Lower borrowing costs will help from an affordability perspective, especially as tighter market conditions exert upward pressure on selling prices in the second half of 2023.”
