December Real Estate Market Update

12.07.2022 | Real Estate Market

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) has released the housing figures for November 2022. With 4544 sales reported on the local MLS, sales were down 49.4% year-over-year and 8.4% from October.

New listings in November remained low. The 8,880 homes added to the MLS represent an 11.6% decline from the previous year. At month’s end, there were 11,910 active listings, representing a 2.62-month supply heading into December.

This continued lack of supply has largely kept home prices in check since July. The average selling price for November was $1,079,395, down 7.2% since last November and 0.9% from the previous month. Annual average price declines were greater for the more expensive market segments, including detached and semi-detached houses. The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark, which serves as a measure of annual inflation in the market, was down 5.5% from November 2021.

Looking at price by housing type, detached homes sold for an average of $1,390,162. This is a year-over-year decrease of 11.3% and a month-over-month increase of 1.3%. The average price for semi-detached homes was $1,039,200 (-13.9% /-3.7%), townhomes showed an average of $900,314 (-6.4% /-2.1%), and the average price of condos was $708,636 (-0.9% /-1.1%).

The average sale took place in 22 days on the market, down from 21 days in October, and at 98% of the listing price.

While activity in the housing market continues to be influenced by the impact of higher borrowing costs, a scarcity of new listings has kept home prices in check since the summer.
