3. Toronto’s Market Dynamics: Months of Inventory and Sales to New Listings Ratio
Two key indicators help gauge the current market conditions:
- Months of Inventory (MOI): The overall MOI for Toronto stands at 3.7. This figure indicates a more balanced market compared to previous years when MOI was below two.
- Sales to New Listings Ratio: The ratio is around 37% for Toronto. This figure signals a buyer’s market. However, this varies across neighborhoods. Some areas are experiencing higher competition.
4. Under the Radar Neighborhoods to Watch
Three under-the-radar neighborhoods in Toronto that show promise for buyers looking for value:
- Eglinton West
- Weston
- St. Clair West
Each of these neighborhoods offers unique opportunities. They are particularly good for buyers looking for affordability without sacrificing connectivity or amenities.
5. Future Predictions and Opportunities for Buyers
Recent announcements from the Bank of Canada suggest potential rate cuts. We explore what this could mean for the Toronto real estate market. The anticipation of rate cuts might bring more buyers back into the market. This could increase competition and push prices higher in some areas. If you’re considering buying, now might be the perfect time. It could be the right window of opportunity before the market heats up again.
