🌸 May has arrived, and that means it’s time to reflect on how the Real Estate market fared in April 2021:
- A slow down📉? From March, yes - but we’re taking it in perspective of the record-shattering start to 2021. In fact, the market boom we are seeing this year continues to show itself in the stats, with some leveling off from March👀:
Despite being down by 12.7% from the month prior, April 2021 sales were up 36.6% when compared to a 10-year average.
It’s still a Seller’s market! For every 10 new listings, there are 6.6 more sales happening which continues to put stress on an already low inventory.
The average home price stayed steady from the month prior, at $1,090,002, and is up 17.8% year over year.
Properties are selling in an average of 2 weeks on the market.
In both Toronto and the GTA, the Condo market has undoubtedly picked up, with the average price now recovering to a 19.6% increase year over year. Condo sales in April represented 24% of the overall market.
- 👉 Please note, we can not compare April 2020 to April 2021 fairly, given that at this time last year, we had just faced our first full month of COVID-19 restrictions.
- 😅 Some balance!? Hard to say - but all signs are pointing to some leveling of the Toronto Real Estate Market in terms of sales activity. Prices and overall stats are still at a record-breaking high, but from the month prior the growth ratio has slowed down 👊. 🤩 At this trajectory, Buyers who are battling the inventory challenge right now can find some light, and condo Sellers can be assured the market is recovering strongly.
It’s been challenging to navigate 2020/2021’s unprecedented growth in real estate. Should I buy? Should I sell? Wait? Invest? 🤷♀️ We are starting to see the start of some consistency in our monthly statistics and this gives us some clearer indicators. Reach out to us for further insights and a plan of action.
