Despite a tumultuous year, the Toronto residential real estate market ended 2020 on a high, with 95,151 home sales taking place throughout the year, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB)<\/a>. This was an 8% increase year-over-year (y-o-y) and the third best year on record for sales. New listings couldn\u2019t quite keep up, growing a mere 3% y-o-y in 2020, and likely helped push the average home price across the Toronto Region up by 13% annually to a new annual record of $929,699.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the month of December, there were 7,180 home sales, up 63% y-o-y, while new listings kept pace, growing 66% y-o-y. The average home price rose 11% y-o-y in December to $932,222. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Patel, TRREB president, chalked up the housing market\u2019s recovery (following a steep drop in the early days of the COVID-19 crisis) to a \u201cstrong economic rebound in many sectors of the economy, ultra-low borrowing costs and the enhanced use of technology for virtual open houses and showings.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, to reiterate a trend that played out throughout 2020, TRREB\u2019s chief market analyst, Jason Mercer noted that \u201cthere was a dichotomy between the single-family market segments and the condominium apartment segment\u201d with strong demand and competition for the former, while condo sector noted \u201ca year-over-year dip in average condo selling prices during the last few months of the year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing Market Competition Exceedingly Favoured Sellers Across the GTA in December<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, across the GTA, York Region led the pack for home sales growth in December – with 1,366 home sales across all housing types, marking an 87% increase y-o-y. New listings increased 81% y-o-y in York Region in December, with 1,065 properties being added to the market. As such, with lower supply in relation to demand in the region, the sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) – which is a measure of market competition – strongly favoured sellers in York Region at 128%. In comparison, the December 2019 SNLR was similarly high, at 124%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, an SNLR above 60% indicates that competition conditions favour sellers since demand is higher than supply. In situations where the SNLR is over 100%, more homes were sold than the number of new units of inventory added to the market during the month, which implies that buyers purchased properties that were listed prior to December. In reflection of this surge in demand, the average home price in York Region increased 14% annually in December to $1,084,945. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend of exceedingly strong demand and fierce market competition continued across other GTA regions: Halton Region (SNLR of 123%), Durham Region (SNLR of 124%), Peel Region (SNLR of 121%), and the City of Toronto (SNLR of 119%) each indicated an SNLR above 100% in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand for Detached Homes Remained Fierce Across the GTA with York Region Seeing the Strongest Annual Sales Growth <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

York Region home sales growth for detached properties outpaced every other region, increasing 80% y-o-y. With new listings slower to catch up (growing 61% y-o-y), detached home buyers in the region experience tough competition, and the region posted an SNLR of 131% in December. The average home price for detached properties grew 18% to $1,349,084.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Peel Region, home sales for detached properties rose 57% with 614 sales, while new listings edged up 37% with 478 new properties being added to the market, resulting in an SNLR of 128%. The detached home price increased 18% to $1,200,646.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Halton Region, detached home sales grew 48%, and strong competition persisted, with an SNLR of 129%. The average home price grew 28% y-o-y to $1,429,635.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the City of Toronto, detached home sales remained strong in December, increasing 41% y-o-y and 657 sales. With 554 new detached home listings, City of Toronto detached home buyers were competing in a heated sellers market, where the SNLR was 119%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in Durham Region, the average home price for detached properties increased 25% to $868,916. Detached home sales grew 35% with 498 homes changing hands. While new listings grew at a faster pace (+39% y-o-y), with just 389 new detached properties being added to the market, the SNLR remained in seller\u2019s market territory at 128%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competition Heats Up for Condo Apartments in Key Toronto Region Markets Like the City of Toronto in December<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a relatively slower year, condo apartment sales picked up in condo-dense markets like the City of Toronto this December. 1,551 condo apartments sold in the City of Toronto, marking a 75% increase y-o-y. With a relatively low number of listings (1,343), condo buyers may have noticed that the market was more competitive than even just the month prior with an SNLR of  115% compared to November 2020, when the SNLR was in balanced market territory at 47%. That being said, the average home price for condo apartments in the City of Toronto still declined 5% compared to December 2019 to $625,828. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a similar trend in other key condo markets in the GTA. In Peel Region for instance, the SNLR for condo apartments was in strong seller\u2019s market territory at 95%, and in York Region, it was at 106%. Unlike the City of Toronto, the average home price for condo apartments grew 3% and 2% in each region, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
