Toronto Home Sales Higher In 2011-Top Expectations

Toronto Condos
Toronto Condos Yonge Bloor

Home sales were higher in 2011 ending up 2.2 per cent higher with 457,000 resales compared to 2010.

The Canadian Real Estate Association was expecting fewer homes sold on Canada's MLS® service.

CREA stated that the momentum of resales across the country remain in positive territory but they see the market beginning to slow.

They see low interest rates supporting home sales activity and also supporting house prices, making them more affordable.

Toronto and Vancouver continue to drive the increase in annual home sales but both see average home prices lower than December 2010.

Toronto Condos will again lead the new home sales for 2012 with many new projects under construction with even more new Condos on the way.

Toronto Downtown Condos

We started off our Toronto Condos Blog in 2011 with Toronto's Unstoppable Condos. It seems that the Toronto condominium market still shows no sign of stopping.

The Toronto Downtown Condo Rentals were starting to heat up and yes, there were bidding wars for many of the Condo rental listings.

New rules were introduced "Toronto Condo Buyers Face Tougher Mortgage Rules" by the Federal government making it more difficult to get a loan.

A new Boutique Condo Hotel. Bisha Hotel And Residences was announced for 56 Blue jays Way in the heart of Toronto's King West/Entertainment District.

One of Toronto's newest luxury five-star Hotel and Condos, The Ritz Carlton was close to completion with 267 hotel rooms and 135 Condominium residences.

Toronto Condos Record Sales 2010 was another popular Condos Blog showing Condominiums for the first time accounted for 52 per cent of all new purchases.

Our Toronto Condos Blog was again updated with a live feed from twitter.com/irisliremaxagnt and also a Most Viewed Blog Posts showing what our readers choose.

We posted Toronto Condo Penthouse Record $28 Million Sale that interested a lot of readers to our Blog.It was the most expensive Condominium sold in Canada.

We will have to continue 2011 in review in a later post, as we do have much more to share.
