Where To Buy and Sell in Greater Toronto This Week
Where to BUY in Toronto This Week: North York’s Clanton Park and Bathurst Manor neighbourhoods have seen a substantial increase in active freehold listings. If you are looking for a Detached home in the area the time to act could be now. If you are in the market for something a little more luxurious head to Banbury-Don Mills located South of the 401 and West of the DVP where the average list price for a Detached home is about 2.4 M right now and inventory levels appear to be increasing.
Why This Week: Listings in Bathurst Manor and Clanton park are up around 26% from the end of January, and up 22% from February 2014. The increase in inventory is attributable to the number of detached homes on the market not condos. It’s rare to see such a large increase in inventory caused by freehold properties and not condo development. Buyers looking for a detached property in the north end of the city with some wiggle room on price should head to Clanton Park and Bathurst Manor.

Where to SELL in the GTA This Week: Listings in the GTA as whole are down from this time last year and you may think you are crazy to list in this cold weather. However, last year’s winter was no cake walk either, and if you are thinking of selling in Milton where inventory tends to blossom with the flowers, I would suggest listing while the competition is limited.
Why This Week: Active listings in Milton are down 18% from the same time last year, and listings in Milton haven’t increased from the end of January while the GTA as a whole saw listings increase by 8%. Home owners in Milton could benefit by selling now instead of the spring as strong demand paired with limited inventory should equate to higher prices.
