Text:"Getphotos" to 59559 for photos +video "The worst is now behind us. Pent-up demand will be a factor in the coming months, as homebuyers - many of whom delayed their purchasing plans - are entering the market. "We expect momentum to build moving into the traditional fall market, and the trend to continue throughout the remainder of the year," says Christopher Alexander, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, RE/MAX INTEGRA, Ontario-Atlantic Canada Region. Leading the charge are first-time buyers of single-detached homes in the $600,000 to $900,000 range. Since June, this segment has reported a 22 %increase in year-over- year sales. Inventory at this price point is low, with just under 900 homes currently listed for sale in the 416 area. This could potentially prompt buyers to expand their search into the 905, where the number of homes listed for sale in this price range is more plentiful. Recovery is moving at a slower pace, in the 905 areas, but as inventory levels decline, detached housing values are expected to appreciate. From an economic standpoint, the future is bright. The GTA is still Canada's financial centre, drawing people from across the province, country and globe. Between 2007 and 2017, the population rose by 17 percent and growth is expected to continue as more people choose to make the GTA their home. "After an extended period of housing market inertia, the floodgates are breaking open," says Alexander. "Upward movement in detached housing values and the threat of additional interest rate hikes in the future are prompting homebuyers to get off the fence and into the market. Rising consumer confidence, job security and an economy firing on all cylinders should continue to support healthy home-buying activity in the GTA for the remainder of the year and into 2019."
