Dear Friend

December 2022

Dear Friend,

Toronto real estate board members sold 4544 homes in November. In an average

market, we would expect about 6,000 homes to be sold, so while we are down from that

number it’s still a pretty good month given the multiple increases in borrowing rates. The

number of available homes for sale remains very low at just under 12,000 which is

maintaining current prices levels. As of November 30, the average price of a home sold

is $1,195, 945 compared to January 1,2022 where the average price was $1,095,333.

Premier Ford’s recent statement that 3,000,000 new immigrants are expected into

Ontario over the next 10 years, highlights the bright future of home ownership. Despite

the government’s many plans of increasing housing supply such as the More Homes

Built Faster Act, I am not overly optimistic that the good intentions will result in the

results we all hope for. The bureaucracy and red tape of City Hall moves very slowly to

make changes!

The 4544 sales in November and the expected 4,000 home sales in December

highlights the fact that those people who can qualify under the higher mortgage rates

are taking advantage of the lack of competition and are actively buying homes.

I personally believe that if one can qualify to buy, this is the time to do so. Great

opportunities exist in today’s real estate market. Whether buying that bigger property or

purchasing an investment property, now is the opportune time to explore those options.

That’s where I can help! An experienced, knowledgeable professional, backed by a

great world-wide company! At times like these having a friend in real estate really pays

off!

Give me a call, let’s talk. This market may represent a great opportunity that will help

sustain you and your family’s future for years to come.

All the best over the holidays season and health and happiness to you and your family

in 2023.

Your Friend in Real Estate.
