Toronto Home Prices 2014

Strong demand, weak supply

Week after week, Toronto home sales stats tell the same story: Thousands of qualified buyers want to buy, taking advantage of mortgage rates that continue to be affordable. Because of limited supply, they end up competing… and sale prices rise.

As of mid-March, 13,325 resale transactions had taken place through the Toronto Real Estate Board in 2014. Meanwhile, the number of new listings has remained low, keeping local markets tight in many parts of the Greater Toronto Area.

Current prices

The average selling price of a detached house in the City of Toronto was $903,425 in the first half of March, while the average price of a semi in the City reached $691,279. Average prices in the 905 area are also rising: to $638,555 for a detached house, and $436,093 for a semi.
