Top Neighbourhoods for Under and Overbidding

The Greater Toronto Area’s once-hot real estate market has turned amid a series of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada to tamp down too-high inflation. Bidding wars have become a thing of the past in many neighbourhoods — 84% of those in the GTA are now in underbidding territory with a median $20,000 (-2.2%) underbid versus list price in July. Compare this to the same month last year when 68% of homes were sold at or above list price with a median overbid of $7,005 (+0.9%).

But which neighbourhoods offer the best ‘deals’ for buyers? And are some bucking the current downtrend in prices? (The answer is ‘yes.’)
