And how this differs from the General market reports from the Toronto Real Estate Board? We know we’ve had a slow start this year, but the market has picked up considerably since mid-May and the overall sentiment is quite positive, more so now than any other point in 2019. TREB reports average prices have risen 3% this year in the GTA, new listings are lower than in 2018 at this time and sales are on par or slightly higher in 2019 vs 2018. Here is a snapshot of the West-GTA area including Mississauga, Oakville, Milton and Burlington (the markets we cover). Performance is very strong under $1.5m and mostly a seller’s market under the $1m price point. That said, with average prices in Oakville being higher than the other three markets, inventory supply remains higher at 4 months vs Burli...

Following our last Q1 2019 market outlook where we examined price trends in the GTA, we noted specific differences in trends and performance in Oakville.We thought it was imperative to take a closer look at inventory supply levels in the Oakville detached home market segment as we are experiencing a 20% increase in supply versus non-detached. This is increasingly evident when segmenting by price-points and geographic regions within Oakville.Murray McKeage summarizes the key findings and the impact it’s having in our current marketplace in the video below.Check it out and connect with Murray directly to learn more.
