Toronto (GTA), ON
Toronto’s market continues its resiliency. While much is the same, the numbers don’t lie, the Toronto market is strong. Detached properties are the only type of housing that is above three months of inventory; semi-detached, condo townhouses and condo apartments are all below two months of inventory in the month June. The overall M.O.I. fell by 0.1 from May and prices increased on average to $808,000. Year-over-year, sales are up 2.4% active listings are up 5.9% and average price is up 2%. Have a look below:
Vancouver, BC
Vancouver’s market is a doubled edged sword at the moment. Year-over-year, sales are down a whopping 37.7%, M.O.I. has more than doubled and sits at 4.6, but the average price of a property has risen 9.5% and sits at $1,090,000. In comparison to May 2018, sales are down, active listings rose slightly, and prices stayed nearly identical. As it has been for a while now, detached inventory sits at 8.5 months of inventory with the average home selling at $1,600,000. Townhouses are a much stronger market with 4 M.O.I. and an average price of $860,000. Apartments sit with 3 M.O.I. with an average selling price of $704,000.

Edmonton is replicating Vancouver’s June output with lower sales, higher months of inventory but higher average price as well.
