🏠 High demand for homes in 2023 due to record immigration.
🔄 More people interested in renting homes.
📉 Fewer homes sold in the GTA in 2023 (less than 70,000) because it’s hard to afford them with high mortgage rates.
💰 It’s even harder to afford homes because borrowing money is expensive, and rules for getting a mortgage are tough.
🔜 Things might get better in 2024 with borrowing money becoming cheaper, so more people might buy homes.
📊 In 2023, 65,982 homes were sold, which is 12.1% less than in 2022.
📉 Not many new homes were put up for sale, even though more were sold during the spring and summer.
💵 The average price of a home in 2023 was $1,126,604, which is 5.4% less than in 2022.
🛍️ People buying homes had more choices and could negotiate better prices.
🤞 If borrowing money becomes cheaper in the next year, home prices might go up again.
🌐 Many more people are coming to live in the GTA, so we need more homes for them to rent or buy.
