We are starting a new blog series called ‘Best of the West’ so welcome to our inaugural post! We thought we would start off our series with the best places to take our furry friends off leash in Toronto’s west end.
Hope everyone has had a good first week back at school or just getting back into your own routines after the last long weekend of the summer. September is always a busy month and even before we had our kids, and long after my schooling was complete, Labour Day weekend always felt like the start of something new.
There were 7,711 residential sales in Toronto in August 2019. This was a 13.4% increase compared to 6,797 sales reported in August 2018. On a month-over-month basis, after preliminary seasonal adjustment, sales were up by 0.8%.
There were 8,595 home sales in Toronto in the month of July. This result was up by 24.3% compared to July 2018. On a month-over-month basis, sales were up by 5.1%, after preliminary seasonal adjustment. New listings were also up compared to July 2018, but by a much lesser annual rate than sales, at 3.7%.
There were 8,860 sales reported in June 2019 which represents a 10.4% increase compared to June 2018. Over the same time period, total new listings remained at a similar level for the month of June and active listings at month-end were down by 5.7%.
There were a reported 9,989 sales in Toronto last month which is an increase of 18.9% over the 15-year low experienced in May 2018. However, this result is still below the average that we have seen in the month of May over the past ten years, which is 10,300. This year-over-year uptick in sales does suggest though, that the share of likely home buyers in the GTA has edged upwards since the fall.
In the 19 years I have been in real estate I have often contemplated this question…..what DO we stand for? And in addition to that, what do we stand against?
The Toronto Real Estate Board reported a substantial year-over-year increase in home sales in April 2019. The number of residential transactions jumped by 16.8% and on a preliminary seasonally adjusted basis, sales were up 11.3 per cent compared to March 2019.
The east end may have the Beaches, but along the west end shores of Lake Ontario sits our own lakefront neighbourhoods, and they are nothing to scoff at! Here is a snapshot of what makes Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch such fantastic places to live, eat & play!
