“The fact that annual growth in new listings outstripped growth in sales suggests that the GTA existing home market is becoming better supplied,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Tom Lebour. “Home owners are reacting to strong sales and price growth by listing their homes in greater numbers. They are confident they will receive offers in line with their asking price.”

The average price for April mid-month transactions was $430,271 – up 12 per cent compared to the average of $383,361 recorded during the first 14 days of April 2009. “The average annual rate of price increase has declined and we are shortly going to see a return to sustainable single-digit rates of growth,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “As home buyers experience more choice in the marketplace, there will be less upward pressure on the average selling price in the GTA.”
