TD Bank Forescast Home Prices on the Rise

-
As if things couldn't get any more expensive, home prices will be on the rise again due to lower interest rates and high demand for homes in Canada. An average of 5% to 6% will be gained for homes by the end of the year.

These low interest rates have helped condo buyers with the affordability, but these lower rates sees the returns of previously interested buyers who further drive up the demand.

Still as the average prices is increasing, TD economist Diana Petramala believes that we will enter a buyer based market. Bargaining power will grow and price pressure will ease giving buyers more control in the market.

Condo prices are also predicted to take a hit as the prices are expected to fall by 2% in the following year, and more construction is already underway to help satisfy the demand of buyers. This price fall will make condos become less appealing as an investment property.

Single family homes have already shot up 8% this year with an additional 2% expected by the end of 2015. So that's it prices are on the rise again, nothing we should be shocked about. Main aspect to take away from all this is to buy now, for there is no better time than the present.

The condo phenomenon is something that is happening all over North America. The performance of the GTA's top-tier condominium market eclipsed that of other major Canadian markets in both sales volume and percentage gains in 2017. Sales of $1-million-plus condominiums were up 59 per cent year-over-year within the region, with luxury sales over $4 million up 91 per cent over the previous year. In the City of Toronto, condo sales volumes in the $4 million-plus range rose 82 per cent and those in the $1-million-plus category were up 35 per cent year over year. Certainly in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, condos are becoming a choice in terms of where people want to live. If you’re a professional and want to live close to where you work, living in the downtown region has become a lifestyle choice now ...

If you've lived in Mississauga your entire life then you have certainly seen some major changes. Get ready for some more as Square one goes under more developments in time for 2015. The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016. Holt Renfrew along with many others will help serve the needs of an ever growing Mississauga population, particularly in the downtown core. The rise of condo's in the center of Mississauga, coupled with the new Sheridan college campus which sees an influx of students, will see down-town Mississauga as the place to be.
