Toronto Real Estate Market Report

The Toronto real estate market had a set of very mixed results for the month of April with the condo market experiencing a large slump in sales due to a substantial influx in inventory while semi & detached home sales/prices have surged.

With many buyers still being sidelined by higher interest rates, we are seeing this impact the condo sector the most as first-time purchasers & investors are most sensitive to these increased borrowing costs.
