1. GTA REALTORS® RELEASE MONTHLY RESALE HOUSING FIGURES
TORONTO, October 5, 2015 – Toronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean
announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported a record number of
transactions for the month of September through TREB’s MLS® System. There was a
combined 8,200 home sales reported for September 2015. This result was up 2.5 per
cent compared to September 2014.
TREB MLS® sales through the first nine months of 2015 amounted to 80,331, which also
represented a record result and a 9.5 per cent increase compared to the first three
quarters of 2014.
“We are on track for record home sales reported through TREB’s MLS® System this year.
Barring a drastic shift in the economy over the next three months, total transactions
reported by TREB Members in 2015 are expected to be at or near the 100,000 mark. This
is a testament to the importance that GTA households put on home ownership as a long-
term investment,” said Mr. McLean.
The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark Price was up by 10.5 per cent
year over year. The average selling price for all home types combined was also up by 9.2
per cent annually to $627,395. Growth in the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark and the
average price was driven by the low-rise market segments, including detached and semi-
detached houses and townhouses.
“While September was the second straight month where annual growth in new listings
outstripped annual growth sales, total active listings at the end of the month still remained
below last year’s level. This, coupled with the record pace of sales experienced so far this
year, suggests that competition between buyers will remain strong as we move into the
fourth quarter. Expect strong rates of price growth to continue through the remainder of
2015 and into 2016,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Director of Market Analysis.
