GTA Resale Housing Market Posts Best June on Record

TORONTO July 6, 2009 - In June 2009, Greater Toronto Realtors reported a record 10,955 sales, up 27% from June 2008. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales in June was 100,700.1

"The record result in June is testament to the fundamentally sound housing market in the GTA," said the Toronto Real Estate Board’s newly appointed President Tom Lebour. "An increasing number of households have been confident in purchasing a home in the region’s affordable and diverse resale housing market." The average price for June transactions was $403,972 - up by 2% compared to the same month last year.

"The re-emergence of Seller’s Market conditions has exerted upward pressure on home prices," explained Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "Look for sales to remain high relative to listings in the second half of the year. This will keep home prices growing."

Average Days On Market in June was 33
