October Market Update

Posted on October 6, 2023 by Jill Renshaw

With Thanksgiving coming up this weekend I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and I hope you are all able to celebrate the abundance with family and friends.

I often get asked what the best time to sell a house is and as we all know the Real Estate Market has been up and down like a roller coaster the last few years. In recent times, we have witnessed the emergence of several factors that have brought about significant changes in the industry. From the impact of high interest rates and recently the increase in inventory plus the prevailing economic uncertainty, both buyers and sellers are facing new challenges and opportunities.

New listings were up strongly in October and that gives buyers more choices. With buyers having a wider range of options this can lead to a more competitive environment, as Sellers must work harder to attract potential buyers. Pricing strategies and property condition become crucial in order to stand out in a crowded market. On the flip side, buyers have an opportunity to negotiate better deals and find their ideal home with move choices.

According to the October 2023 Market Watch Report “The short and medium-term outlooks for the GTA housing market are very different. In the short term, the consensus view is that borrowing costs will remain elevated until mid-2024, after which they will start to trend lower. This suggests that we should start to see a marked uptick in demand for ownership housing in the second half of next year, as lower rates and record population growth spur an increase in buyers,” said TRREB President Paul Baron.

While the changing real estate market brings its fair share of challenges, it also presents exciting prospects for both buyers and sellers. High interest rates, increased inventory, and economic uncertainty require careful consideration and strategic planning. For buyers, it's important to explore various financing options and be patient in finding the right property. Sellers must focus on effective marketing and pricing strategies to make their homes stand out. Ultimately, adaptability and proactive decisions are key to thriving in this evolving real estate landscape.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like a comprehensive report on your property value or if you are thinking of buying and we can discuss the best strategy for you in today's market.

The next Bank of Canada rate decisions will be on Tuesday, October 23.

September Market Update

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Jill Renshaw

I can't believe that we are already in September and the leaves are starting to turn. This is a great time of year to get yourself ready for the changing seasons, clean up your flower beds and get those kids back to school or sent off to university.

As we head into the fall historically this is the time of year when we see a pick up in the real estate market for a few months before Christmas. The recent Bank of Canada announcement to hold the current Bank of Canada rate at 5% comes as the Canadian economy reported slow economic growth for the second quarter of 2023.

What does this mean for the real estate market? According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), higher borrowing costs, continued uncertainty about the economy and Bank of Canada decision making, and the constrained supply of listings resulted in fewer home sales in August 2023 compared to August 2022. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, sales and average price edged lower. In the short term, we will likely continue to see some volatility in terms of sales and home prices, as Buyers and Sellers wait for more certainty on the direction of borrowing costs and the overall economy,” said TRREB President Paul Baron.

In the York Region area we are seeing an increase in inventory and numerous price reductions from Sellers that need to sell. Prices may continue to move downward in the next few months as inventory increases and Buyers have more choice.

The fall market is a great opportunity for Buyers that have been sitting on the sidelines, and bidding wars may be a thing of the past. We are definitely moving into a more balanced market. Sellers should not wait any longer if they plan to sell as prices may be less next year. If you are buying and selling then whatever the market is doing will not have a huge effect on you.

Enjoy the rest of the fine weather and please don't hesitate to reach out if you are thinking of buying or selling. We would be happy to discuss all of your options.
