Real Estate Market Update

Sales and New Listings Down, Average Price up in July August 5, 2010 -- Greater Toronto Realtors reported 6,564 sales in July – a 34 per cent dip from the record 9,967 sales reported in July 2009. New listings, at 10,825, dropped to the lowest level for the month of July since 2002.
"The level of July sales remained below the expected long-term trend. The market has become more balanced following record monthly sales through most of the winter and early spring," said Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Bill Johnston.
Total sales through the first seven months of 2010 were up 12 per cent compared to the same period in 2009.
Notwithstanding the fact that price trends vary at the neighbourhood level in GTA, the average price for July transactions was $420,482, representing a six per cent increase over July 2009. Over the first seven months of 2010, the average selling price was up 12 per cent annually to $432,253.
"Market conditions promoting growth in the average selling price have remained in place. While July sales were down compared to last year, the number of new listings in the marketplace also fell. This means there was enough competition between buyers to exert upward pressure on price," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.
Median Price In July, the median price was $361,000, from the $339,900 recorded during July of 2009. - Toronto Real Estate Board ************************************************************** 地產局:大多地區經濟強勁復甦 2010年8月20日--上個月,大多地區的二手房市場情況持續溫和。隨著6564套房屋在7月份改變其主人,銷售活動與去年同期相比下降34%,2009年7月時曾有9,967處交易,但在今年,現房交易與2009年的頭7個月相比增加了12%。 鑒於房地產市場在個別地區的情況有所不同,416區和905區值得重點討論。今年416區銷售額達2,582套,而905區銷售額為3,982套。相對於2009年7月,416區的銷售活動減少了33%,因為416區去年同期的銷售額為3,880套。與去年同期相比,7月份905區的銷售活動減少了近35%,因為去年7月該區曾有6,087處交易。 有趣的是,不溫不火的銷售活動並沒有對房價產生不利影響。7月,新掛牌房屋的數量跌至2002年以來的最低水平。這意味著買家之間有足夠的競爭可以對大多地區轉售房屋的平均售價形成持續的上漲壓力。現在,有21,714處房屋在整個大多地區掛牌,但相對於上個月的23,923處掛牌房屋來說,減少了差不多10%的市場選擇。上個月,多倫多地區一個房屋的平均售價是420,482加元,與2009年7月395,414加元的平均售價相比增長了6%。同時,905區的價格上漲要輕微強於416區。在416區,房屋的平均售價從一年前的421,110加元到現在的444,359加元,漲幅接近6%。而在905區,房屋的平均售價從2009年7月的379,035加元到現在的404,935加元,漲幅達7%。 從長遠來看,對二手房屋的需求主要是由人口增長和就業狀況來拉動的。而在大多地區,人口增長的主要動力是移民。大多地區既是加拿大移民的最大受益地區,同時大多地區各個經濟部門的眾多就業機會也是吸引越來越多移民的重要原因。 雖然多倫多地區和加拿大的大部份其他地區一樣,在經濟衰退期大量的人失業,但是現在該地區的經濟復甦已相當強勁。據加拿大統計局統計的數字,如今多倫多的就業增長已經達到經濟衰退前的高峰值,而且人均收入也在今年度的基礎上持續增加。 - 北辰地產週刊(原文多倫多星報) |
