While the Blue Jays post season run came to a halt last week Toronto’s real estate market is having a run of its own.  Now that the election is over, and the world DIDN’T end, Sellers can go back to selling and Buyers can go back to buying…..and buying they did….in spades. Unless you count Halloween as a significant event, we should see a steady trading pace for the next few weeks.

 

 

Listings improved slightly in the freehold sector last week. While demand is still extremely high, the 3% increase in available listings caused a significant rise in multiple offers last week moving from a low of 36% two weeks ago to nearly 59% last week. The number of sales shot up 63% from 113 to 184 units in the downtown core. The hot district shifted back to the east core where over 70% of homes traded at or above the list price.

 

 

Listings in the resale condominium sector are down for the third week in a row. Inventory of condo listings has not been this low since February 20th, 2015 (with the exception of one week in late August). Sales on the other hand jumped by nearly fifty units since last week to 216. Sales at or above the list price now hovers at 24.1% with the $700k-$1.5m range in the central core being the hot spot last week by registering 6 out of 18 sales at or above the list price.

In our latest Market Insight we suggested that the reason listings were down was a reaction to the upcoming Federal Election. While there is little reason to believe that, whatever the outcome, home prices would be adversely affected, we wanted to prove that the theory was sound. We have been keeping records on downtown Toronto real estate for just over three years but only through one other election, that being last year’s municipal election which took place on October 27th. We went back to the beginning of October 2014 and discovered that freehold listings decreased by 31% over the previous week while sales remained steady. The following week, October 17th, freehold listings backed off another 17% and sales slowed. By the next week the polls were reporting a clear lead for Mayor Tory and with the election essentially a fait accompli listings improved by 8% and sales shot up 64%. Immediately after the election, both in terms of listings and sales, activity returned to normal levels. 

 

According to Anthony Codling, housing analyst at the broker Jefferies, who has studied the last seven UK elections; “On average, and when compared to the level of transactions at the time of an election, transactions have been higher in the period six to 12 months prior to and one to six months after an election but the four months immediately preceding elections have typically seen housing transactions 3% to 8% below the level seen at the time of an election.  In our view, this confirms what we believe many intuitively believe; that the uncertainty regarding elections will delay a prospective homeowner’s decision to purchase a home.”

 

In the freehold sector, we have further proof of the theory. Listings again have dropped by another 3% while the number of sales remained unchanged. It is interesting to note that sales at or above the list price decreased from 70.6% two weeks ago to 62.5% last week, so while there are still plenty of buyers in the market they appear to have calmer heads come offer night. The west core continues its streak as the hot neighbourhood with more listings and more sales than the usually hot East core.

 

The condominium resale market remained relatively unchanged in terms of listings last week however sales improved for the fourth straight week. While last week’s growth was a more moderate 4% over the previous week it does show the continued strength of this segment of the overall Toronto real estate market. Even with 20.9% of those sales taking place at or above the list price, it is nowhere near the record level of 31.6% set the previous week.
