How GTA Home Sales Have Shifted Month-Over-Month and Year-Over-Year

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) has released its latest market stats, which show that year-over-year new listings dropped, but by a marginally lesser annual rate than sales, pointing to a modest move to a slightly more balanced market. As a result, competition between buyers has eased slightly resulting in a month-over-month decrease in average sale price of detached homes in Halton Hills, Burlington, Oakville, and Mississauga. Very different from TRREB’s January 2022 Statistics with an average sale price increase of 11% month-over-month in these areas.

Here’s our monthly breakdown of the stats.

GTA Home Sales: TRREB’s February 2022 Statistics

Below, you’ll find the main conclusions from TRREB’s February 2022 Market Watch report.

• GTA realtors reported 9,097 sales in February 2022, which is down 16.8% year over year.
• New listings dropped year-over-year, but by a marginally lesser annual rate than sales, pointing to a modest move to a slightly more balanced market.
• The supply of listings for low-rise home types (detached, semi-detached and townhouses) was also down year-over-year, but not by as much as sales.
• The MLS® Home Price Index Composite Benchmark has climbed by nearly 35% since February 2021.
• The average selling price across all property types was up by 27.7% year-over-year to $1,334,544.
