September 2022 Real Estate Market Update

September 2022 Real Estate Market Update

Toronto-area homebuyers were faced with significantly lower inventory than what’s typically anticipated in an early fall market, with new listings down 16.7% on a year-over-year basis — the lowest number of new listings reported for the month of September in 20 years.

With fewer homes to choose from, multiple offer scenarios were once again commonplace, resulting in higher home prices than in August, despite inflation and increased borrowing costs. The average selling price for all home types was $1,086,762, an increase of 0.7% from $1,079,500. This is the second consecutive month that prices have trended upward, albeit modestly.

Year-over-year, the average price dipped by 4.3%, from $1,135,027 in September 2021. But while prices of detached, semi-detached and townhomes fell in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), those of condominium apartments rose, on average, 3.3% over the same time period.

Overall, GTA prices have stabilized as compared to the spring months. In fact, a number of neighbourhoods have seen prices rise significantly over the past two months due to increased competition amid lack of inventory.

On the sales front, the number of homes that traded hands was down by 44.1% in September, compared to the previous year.

Months of inventory is holding relatively steady at approximately 2.5 months. This is the number of months it would take to sell all current listings at the present rate of sales activity.

The recent dip in housing demand has temporarily pushed the region’s supply problem to the backseat. However, when sales activity returns to normal levels, it will once again create pain for buyers looking for the opportunity to enter or move up in the market if this issue is not adequately addressed.

Here’s how the real estate market performed in six Etobicoke neighbourhoods in September. 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.
