GTA housing sales up in the first half of May!

Author: Bernice McNutt  //  Category: Durham Region Real Estate

Greater Toronto area Realtors® reported 4561 transactions in the first half of May – an increase of 3% over May, 2008. There has been a rise in buying activity. Many people who were undecided about purchasing a home during the winter months are now proceeding with confidence as a result of the GTA housing market’s affordability and fantastic interest rates.

The average price for MLS® sales was in line with last year, down by less than one half of one percent at $399,811.

More sales and fewer listings resulted in tighter market conditions which pushed the average selling price up to last years level. Look for new listings to increase as homeowners react to the positive news surrounding home sales and prices.
