This year’s spring housing market won’t see a surge anything like the spring markets of past years, experts say. But Toronto could see sales increase by 20 per cent, and a record-high number of condo completions will help boost supply.
“Homes sales in Toronto and across Ontario haven’t been this low since the 1990s, so from that perspective it’s clear that demand is unnaturally low,” said Ben Rabidoux, founder of Edge Realty Analytics, a real estate data firm. “Sales won’t remain at this level.” In addition, a record-high number of new condo completions slated for 2023 will provide greater housing stock, said John Pasalis, president of real estate brokerage Realosophy.
If more inventory pops up it will help cool down the market, which is currently competitive due to the limited number of houses for sale, Pasalis said. It will result in fewer bidding wars and alleviate pressure on buyers. Around 60 per cent of the sales were for properties under $1 million. Of the houses sold over $1 million, around 25 per cent had a basement apartment, he said. It’s a trend he believes will continue long-term.
Jump in sales will be temporary.The number of listings will rise more than sales as more Canadians realize they can’t afford the variable rate mortgages on their 600 k to 1.5 M mortgage balances in TO and Van.Though listings will skyrocket if banks freeze heloc and tighten credit
