It appears that some people who initially moved to the sidelines due to the psychological impact of the Fair Housing Plan and changes to mortgage lending guidelines have re-entered the market. Home buyers in the GTA recognize that home ownership is a quality long-term investment and have pushed prices up year over year for the second consecutive month.  Prices are also up for 5 of the past 7 months.

 

They have also come to the realization that waiting any longer creates a two-pronged challenge – increasing home prices and increasing borrowing costs.  As a result, many understand that now is the time to buy

 

The key factors leading to the increasing prices continues to be the combination of strong employment growth, historically low interest rates, and strong population growth*.

July was the second consecutive month with year over year price increases and the 6th monthly price increase since December of 2017.  Prices in July 2018 rose 10% to $707,017 compared to July of 2017.  July average prices are 9% higher than December of 2017. This was driven by strong increases in detached homes.  The July 2018 average price is down by only 8% from the all-time high set in March of 2017.

Year over year sales increased for 2 consecutive months, rising 6% over July of 2017.

 

The average price in July of $904,223 is down 6% from July of 2017.  As there are relatively very few transactions that occur in Caledon on a monthly basis, the average price is significantly swayed by the mix of properties as opposed to a reflection of the trending of price.  A clearer picture of Caledon’s market will appear in the fall.

Conclusion

As we move further into the year, growth in sales and selling prices is expected to continue.  Expect stronger price growth in the comparatively more affordable townhouse and condominium apartment segments.  This being said, listings supply will likely remain below historical average in many neighbourhoods in the Peel and Halton, which, over the long-term, could put more upward pressure on prices across all market segments.
