TRREB President Jennifer Pearce highlighted the substantial increase in listings in April compared to both the previous year and month. Many homeowners anticipate rising demand for housing as spring progresses. Pearce noted that while sales are expected to increase, potential homebuyers may be waiting for the Bank of Canada to commence cutting its policy rate before making purchasing decisions.
TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer noted that buyers currently have a wide range of options in the GTA resale market, resulting in minimal fluctuations in selling prices compared to last year. Looking ahead, Mercer anticipates that lower borrowing costs will lead to tighter market conditions in the coming months, potentially driving up prices, particularly as 2025 approaches.
TRREB CEO John DiMichele emphasized the government's commitment to enhancing affordability and choice for residents. However, he stressed the need for better alignment in housing policies to achieve these objectives effectively. DiMichele highlighted the importance of addressing issues such as housing supply to accommodate future population growth and finding the right balance between government spending and inflation control.
In conclusion, while April 2024 saw a slight decline in home sales compared to the previous year, increased listings offer buyers more options, maintaining stability in average selling prices. With expectations of lower borrowing costs and government efforts to improve affordability, the market outlook remains positive, albeit with a need for policy alignment to achieve lasting results.
