June ushered in the summer real estate market with a remarkable surge in inventory.  Active listings saw a significant increase of 67.4%, rising to 23,613 in June from 14,108 in June 2023, according to the new report by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). 

However, sales experienced a dip, with a 16.4% drop compared to the 7,429 sales reported in June 2023. Those eager to enter the market will find little change in the overall price tag of Toronto homes, as the average selling price of $1,162,167 was only slightly down by 1.6% year-over-year with the average of $1,181,002. 

“The Bank of Canada’s rate cut last month provided some initial relief for homeowners and home buyers. However, the June sales result suggests that most home buyers will require multiple rate cuts before they move off the sidelines. This follows Ipsos polling for TRREB, which suggested that cumulative rate cuts of 100 basis points or more are required to boost home sales by any significant amount,” said TRREB President Jennifer Pearce, hinting at the potential for future rate changes to bring about a more active market.

Detached Homes: Hot Property in High Demand

As reported by TRREB, 43% of year-to-date home sales in Toronto were detached homes priced under $1.5 million. This significant portion of the market indicates a strong demand for mid-range detached homes within the city.

Breaking down these sales further, most of the detached home transactions were in the $1,000,000 to $1,249,999 price range, with 3,634 sales, which accounted for 22% of total transactions year-to-date. This price bracket is particularly popular among buyers looking for relatively affordable detached homes within the city limits. Similarly, the most active price range was the $1,250,000 to $1,499,999 budget, which saw 3,396 sales, accounting for 21% of transactions year-to-date. 

These figures highlight the ongoing demand for detached homes in the 416, even as the market adjusts to changing economic conditions and interest rates. Despite the fluctuations in sales numbers, the average year-to-date price for detached homes in Toronto remains at $1,470,645.

What You Can Buy For Under $1M in Toronto 

Looking for a home under the million-dollar mark? There are still plenty of options available. Although the average year-to-date price of a townhouse is $1,027,549, many are being sold below this price point. Townhouses in the $800,000 to $899,999 range had 734 sales, while those in the $900,000 to $999,999 range saw 735 sales, indicating the potential for deals during 2024 so far.  

There are even more affordable choices for those in the market for condo apartments. The average price for condo apartments was $712,719; however, condo apartments in the $500,000 to $599,999 range had just under 3,000 year-to-date sales, and the $600,000 to $699,999 range saw 2,649 year-to-date sales.

Market Shifts: Toronto and GTA See Decline in Home Sales 

In the 416 area, condo apartments saw the most significant year-over-year decline, with a 29.1% decrease this month. They were followed by semi-detached homes, which fell by 20.8%; townhouses, which dropped by 13.4%; and detached houses, which decreased by 7.2%.  

Surrounding areas in the 905 region experienced similar trends, with condo apartments falling by 25.9%, townhouses dropping by 14.3%, semi-detached homes decreasing by 4.0%, and detached homes seeing an 11.7% decline in the month of June.

Outside the city of Toronto, Peel Region saw the most significant activity, with 552 sales in Mississauga, 489 in Brampton, and 79 in Caledon. York Region followed with 310 sales in Vaughan, 260 in Markham, and 161 in Richmond Hill.

“The GTA housing market is currently well-supplied. Recent home buyers have benefitted from substantial choice and, therefore, negotiating power on price. Moving forward, as sales pick up alongside lower borrowing costs, elevated inventory levels will help mitigate against a quick run-up in selling prices,” said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.
