Matt:
Hi everyone, I’m Matt and this is Ming, and we are from Volition Properties. We’re going to be asking (and answering) the question IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO BE INVESTING IN TORONTO.

The brakes! Reminds me of 2017.
Unlike 2017 when it was simply ideas that scared people off, through that 16-Point Plan, this time around, it’s interest rates.
I find this a little amusing, to be honest.
We’re sitting at an overnight lending rate of 1.5%, which is still crazy low.
And yet, so much of the existing buyer pool was thrown off by the 100-basis-point increase in the past two months that they’re simply paralyzed and can’t make a decision.
That, in my opinion, is why sales were down so dramatically last month.
http://trreb.ca/index.php/market-news/housing-market-charts
It’s come down, but we’re still no where close to the market falling off a cliff
http://trreb.ca/index.php/market-news/housing-market-charts
Inventory still good
But good inventory and slow sales means…..
http://trreb.ca/index.php/market-news/housing-market-charts
Average for the last 30 years 55% Sales to listing ratio
What does S2L ratio mean?
Basically it’s the speed at which new inventory is being absorbed
How can be over 100%
Listings older than 30 days
Low right now, just under 40%
Why do we care, it’s often a leading indicator on where the market is going
See how it dropped through Jan to May
http://trreb.ca/index.php/market-news/housing-market-charts
Here’s some back tested data showing how the S2N Ratio is often a leading indicator.
We don’t have a crystal ball, but this is probably as close as it can get

We know Toronto and the downtown is important - but as you might have heard many times before, all real estate is local.
Hyperlocal - neighborhood by neighborhooh, street by street
We use the HPI
What is the HPI?
Like for like properties
3 bedroom detached to 3 bedroom detached
Average doesn’t tell us anything
Lots of activity in high end of market avg price is high
Vs for lots of activity at the low end of the market.
We can see in these charts what is happening at a granular level
Allows us to contrast neighbourhoods and test our theories
Downtown vs. everywhere else

Matt:
We…are going to start off with a story. An immigrant story, actually, about my mom and dad. A story that might not be too different from your own family story, actually…
This is Momma and Poppa Lee, my parents. (It’s funny, because they don’t know that I’m talking about them. My mom is super shy and private, so don’t tell her that I talked about her in my presentation, ok??)
Momma & Poppa Lee were immigrants to Canada over 50yrs ago, and landed in Belleville of all places (small town near Kingston with 37000ppl).
They worked hard, as immigrants do, and scraped their pennies together enough to buy real estate… 4SF homes actually. Pretty good right?
Sounds like a happy ending, right?
