A More Balanced Market In June

July 6, 2010 - Greater Toronto Realtors reported 8442 sales through the Multiple Listing Service - MLS in June 2010. This represented a 23% decrease compared to the record 10,955 sales reported in June 2009. Sales for the second quarter of 2010 amounted to 28,810 - up 1% annually. Year-to-date sales through June were up 23% to 50,455 compared to the first 6 months of 2009.

"We experienced a record number of existing home sales during the first half of 2010, but these sales were weighted more towards the beginning of the year," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Bill Johnston. "The pace of home sales has moderated from the record levels over the past 2 months with the prospect of higher interest and mortgage rates seeming to be a possibility.

The average price for June transactions was $435,034 - up 8% compared to the average of $403,972 recorded for June of 2009.

"With more homes to choose from in the 2nd quarter, many home Buyers have been making less-aggressive offers. This has resulted in less upward pressure on the average selling price," according to Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "The annual rate of average price growth in the second half of this year will undoubtedly be in the single digits."

Average Days On Market in June was 27
