What do you think will happen?

Toronto Real Estate Board says;

TREB President Garry Bhaura announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 4,009 home sales through TREB’s MLS® in January 2019 – up by 0.6 per cent compared to January 2018. On a preliminary seasonally adjusted basis, sales were up by 3.4 per cent compared to December 2018.
“It is encouraging to see the slight increase in January transactions on a year-overyear basis, even with the inclement weather experienced in the GTA region during the last week of the month. The fact that the number of transactions edged upwards is in line with TREB’s forecast for higher sales in calendar year 2019,” http://www.trebhome.com/market_news/market_watch/2019/mw1901.pdf

 Garth Turner says:

But here’s the reality. As reported here ten days ago, the current average detached 416 price of $1.174 million is 13.3% lower than it was exactly 12 months ago. Someone needing to sell would have a loss of more than $180,000 plus $47,138 in land transfer tax (paid when they bought) and another $58,700 in commission. The total hit = $285,800, or 21%. The average detached house in the heart of the GTA is changing hands for 12% less than in the Spring of last year and a 25.6% below what it commanded the previous year. https://www.greaterfool.ca/2019/02/15/the-fraud/

Real Estate is local

We need to look neighbourhood by neighbourhood, street by street.

Not all are down.... 

Where do you get your real estate advice?   Over the fence from Wilson?
