MLS® Residential Housing Market as of August 2022
In August 2022, there were 5,627 home sales reported through the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) MLS® System, representing a 34.2 percent year-over-year drop 3 and a slower annual rate of decline compared to the previous four months. The August sales result was also a month-over-month increase over July.
When compared to the previous three months, sales represented a higher proportion of new listings. If this pattern continues, it may indicate some support for selling prices in the coming months. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) increased by 8.9 percent year over year, and the average selling price for all home types combined increased by 0.9% to $1,079,500. The average selling price increased slightly month over month, while the HPI Composite fell from July to August. Monthly price growth versus a drop in the HPI Composite suggests that more expensive home types were sold in August.
