November 2022 Real Estate Market Update

November 2022 Real Estate Market Update

Greater Toronto Area (GTA) sale prices remained stable in November, at an average of just under $1.1 million — a number that has remained relatively unchanged since August.

The persistent lack of inventory is primarily behind why the downward trend in home prices has flattened over the last four months. Average months of available inventory have plateaued since summer, with only 2.3 months of inventory currently available for sale.

The average selling price for all home types combined was down by 7.2% year-over-year. Annual price declines continued to be greater for more expensive market segments, including detached and semi-detached houses.

While typically a quiet month of market activity based on seasonal patterns, November home sales lagged below the region’s long-term averages and were down markedly compared to the same month last year.

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reported 4,544 sales through its MLS system — a decline of 49% compared to November 2021, but remaining at a similar level to October, especially after considering the recurring seasonal downward trend in the fall.

Homes for sale continue to get snapped up quickly by buyers, averaging 22 days on the market, the same average we have seen since mid-late summer.

TRREB maintains that increased borrowing costs represent a short-term shock to the housing market. Over the medium to long-term, the demand for ownership housing is expected to pick up strongly, fuelled by the recently announced increase in federal immigration targets. A huge share of this immigration will be pointed at the GTA in the coming years and all these people will require a place to live, with the majority looking to buy. This will result in a surge in demand and accompanying upward pressure on pricing.

Looking to the immediate future, rising interest rates will keep market activity quiet in early 2023. Once the Bank of Canada is done with its rate hike cycle, and following a period of stable interest rates, it is anticipated that market activity will return to more seasonal norms. The impact of additional demand on already tight supply will create a more competitive environment for buyers and sellers than what’s expected over the ensuing winter months.

Here’s how the real estate market performed in six Etobicoke neighbourhoods in November. If you live in or are interested in obtaining real estate data on another neighbourhood, contact Clare Tattersall at 647-625-3282 or clare@realtorontowest.com.
