2016 was a record year for Toronto

2016 was a record year for home sales in the Greater Toronto Area. 
GTA Realtors reported 113,133 sales, which is an 11.8 per cent increase compared to sales in 2015. In December 2016, 5,338 properties have been sold – up by 8.6 per cent in a year-over-year comparison.

The condominium segment experienced a 19.5 per cent increase in December 2016 compared to the year before, and the strongest annual rate of sales growth for the whole 2016 was also recorded in the condominium segment. It is obvious that the demand has shifted from freehold to condos, due to low inventory and higher prices in the freehold segment.
