Toronto real estate. JULY MARKET - STILL STRONG

July saw 7,082 single-family homes change hands in the Greater Toronto Area; a strong showing at over 7,000 sales, though slightly less active than the 7,387 sales recorded in July 2005, TREB President Dorothy Mason reported today.

"The GTA market is very healthy," Mrs. Mason said. "Year-to-date figures show that 2006 remains more than one per cent ahead of 2005, with 52,682 transactions recorded so far this year, compared to last year’s 51,985 transactions."

The average price of homes that changed hands in July was $342,034, up nearly five per cent over the $326,034 figure recorded last July, while year-to-date prices at the end of the month were up more than five per cent over the same time frame last year.

"Consumers are still seeing excellent return on their investment, yet price increases are very steady and controlled which is helping to maintain affordability in the market," Mrs. Mason said.
