Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® Report December Mid-Month Resale Housing Market FiguresTORONTO, December 17, 2009 -
Greater Toronto REALTORS reported 3,079 existing home transactions in the first two weeks of December compared to 1,487 in 2008. The strong growth represents both increased home ownership demand and the fact that we are comparing the recovery phase of the sales cycle this December with the contraction phase experienced last winter.
Year-to-date sales, at 84,888, were up 16 per cent compared to the same period last year and have moved in line with the healthy levels experienced in the 2004 through 2006 period.
"We experienced a very strong and broad based recovery in the second half of 2009," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour. "The rebound in the housing sector speaks to the confidence that households have in overall economic recovery.”
The average resale home price during the first two weeks of December rose 17 per cent to $423,103. The year-to-date average was $395,411, up four per cent compared to the same period in 2008.
“The double-digit price growth we have experienced since September will continue through the first quarter of 2010. Average price growth will move to a sustainable pace in the spring as listings increase," according to Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

多市12月上旬二手房成交昇107%
2009年12月17日,多倫多-
根據多倫多地產局(Toronto Real Estate Board，以下簡稱TREB)報道，12月上半旬共有3,079所二手房易手,相較於2008年同一時期的1,487所,上漲了107%。如此驚人的漲幅一方面說明了人們的購房需求依然穩健,另一方面也反影了去年冬天房屋銷售的慘淡狀況。
年度至今的成交量為84,888所,比起去年同期上昇了16%,這個數字表明今年的房市健康程度堪比2004年至2006年之間的水平。
TREB主席Tom Lebour說:「2009年下半年我們經歷了非常強勁、且基礎十分廣泛的房市復甦,房市的復甦證明了房地產行業在整體經濟中的地位是十分重要的。」
12月上半旬成交的二手房平均房價為$423,103,比去年同期上昇17%,年度二手房銷售均價為$395,411,比去年同期上漲了4%。
TREB的高級市場分析經理Jason Mercer說:「目前看來,自今年9月以來我們所目睹的房地產業的興旺將持續到2010年的第一季度末。到明年春季的時候隨著可售房源數量的增加,房價的發展將逐漸趨穩定。」
