This is your market update for Toronto real estate. The numbers are in for 2019: In December, the number of sales saw an increase of 17.4% from December 2018. December 2019 prices rose about 11.9%.

For Greater Toronto in all of 2019, there was an increase in sales by 12.6% compared to 2018. The average price was $819,000, and that’s a 4% increase from 2018. The average days on market was 23.

For the city of Toronto itself, the average price was $883,000 and the average days on market was 20. If your home is in the city of Toronto, your house’s value rose almost $70,000 more than the rest of the Greater Toronto area.

If we take a further micro look into Central Toronto, the average price was $989,899 (this is for all real estate transactions lumped together). The average days on market was 21, and the average list-to-sale-price ratio was 99%.

What does this all mean? We saw a great sales activity recovery in 2019, particularly in the second half of the year. Buyer confidence grew with a strong regional economy and also declining contract mortgage rates throughout the year. While sales were up in 2019, the number of new listings was down by 2.4% year-over-year. This decrease in supply created a very tight market that translated into accelerating growth.

What I see in 2020 is that we should probably expect further accelerated growth if there’s no relief on the supply side.
