Sellers, nervous at how the changes could impact their home values, have been in a bigger rush to list, while buyers are taking a more cautious approach to their home search.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s resulted in less competition throughout the market, as buyers \u2013 who were starved for detached and low-rise choice in the first months of 2017 \u2013 suddenly find themselves with options. That\u2019s led to fewer offers and bidding war situations for houses that would have been snapped up for over asking a mere six weeks ago.<\/p>\n<h2>Bidding Wars Down as Inventory Grows<\/h2>\n<p>It can be a vicious cycle acknowledges Zoocasa agent Carlos Moniz. \u201cInventory is building, buyers have disappeared &#8211; many have taken a step back to see how the implementation would affect the market conditions,\u201d he says. \u201cAs inventory builds, buyers expect prices to come down, so they are hesitant to jump in. Now that the market has shifted buyers getting more choice and gaining back leverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>York Region Activity Considerably Down<\/h2>\n<p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/treb-may-resale-numbers-is-the-gta-market-slowing-down\/\">Toronto Real Estate Board\u2019s May report<\/a> will offer a month-long snapshot of activity, early data released last week offers concrete proof of a sales slowdown.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movesmartly.com\/2017\/05\/gta-home-sales-plunge-26-following-ontario-foreign-buyer-tax-.html\">report by brokerage Realosophy<\/a>, sales of low-rise homes have fallen an average of 26 per cent in the GTA between April 20 and May 20 \u2013 the immediate aftermath of the Fair Housing Plan\u2019s implementation. \u00a0York Region appears especially embattled with a 44-per-cent drop in Newmarket, 46 per cent in Markham, and a whopping 61 per cent decline in Richmond Hill. The report forecasts prices \u2013 which have not yet softened in any way in the GTA \u2013 could follow suit by 5 \u2013 7 per cent as a result.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Sales within the City of Toronto are down an average of 23 per cent, while Durham region stayed flat with sales actually increasing in Pickering and Whitby at 15 and 11 per cent, respectively \u2013 the only cities to see growth.<\/p>\n<h2>A Variety of Factors<\/h2>\n<p>So why such a gloomy prognosis for homes for sale in York region?<\/p>\n<p>Moniz says it\u2019s a unique mix of demographics, combined with more available suburban inventory. As York Region has been a popular destination for out-of-country buyers and investors, the province\u2019s new foreign buyer tax \u2013 not to mention negative foreign media reports prompting bubble fears \u2013 may be a driving force behind fewer sales, he adds.<\/p>\n<p>York has also experienced steep price growth for years, compared to other areas outside downtown Toronto; TREB data reveals it has been among the top three regions in terms of rising Home Price Index Composite \u2013 which measures the valuation increase in homes \u2013 for the first half of 2017, and throughout 2016, along with Durham and South Simcoe Regions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Top Three GTA Markets in Terms of Increasing HPI (January 2016 \u2013 April 2017)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table width=\"468\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"61\"><strong>York<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"73\"><strong>Durham\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"100\"><strong>South Simcoe County<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><strong>Year-over-year HPI % + (composite all home types)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"61\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"73\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"100\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Apr-17<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">34.04%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">36.17%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">38.05%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Mar-17<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">31.34%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">31.79%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">35.24%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Feb-17<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">26.37%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">27.69%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">29.43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Jan-17<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">25.80%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">26.95%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">27.38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Dec-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">25.24%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">26.43%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">24.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Nov-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">24.81%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">25.38%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">24.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Oct-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">24.48%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">24.35%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">25.38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Sep-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">23.23%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">22.75%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">23.08%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Aug-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">22.00%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">20.97%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">21.42%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Jul-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">21.34%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">20.43%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">20.32%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Jun-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">20.61%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">20.43%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">18.77%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">May-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">20.42%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">19.81%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">18.54%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Apr-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">16.69%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">16.57%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">17.31%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Mar-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">15.39%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">14.48%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">16.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Feb-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">14.08%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">13.08%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">15.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Jan-16<\/td>\n<td width=\"61\">13.92%<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">12.73%<\/td>\n<td width=\"100\">15.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trebhome.com\/market_news\/release_market_updates\/news.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Toronto Real Estate Board<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>April-only data released by the real estate board found an HPI increase of 34 per cent for all home types in York Region, and up 35.87 per cent for detached homes.
