Toronto Real Estate Board, in an in-house mid-month statistics for June, depicted a debilitating average price in the GTA with a reading of approximately 6.4% in nearly two weeks with sales almost 50% from a year ago.

Average prices have since waned to over 12% from the top. Craig Alexander, chief economist of the Conference Board of Canada, said it might not necessarily be the rubrics that have cooled the market as much as the view of the impact.
“I don’t think that many buyers have been swayed out of the market, one of the biggest effects of tighter government rules, potential sellers and potential buyers become predisposed to psychological effects. If everybody awaits the results, you get a massive pullback,” says the economist.
The new recommended tax on Vancouver was effective August 2016, in addition new reports have it that there is a positive sign showing steady recovery of the market. The British Columbia Real Estate Association indicated an anticipation of prices to dwindle by an approximate 3.6% this year in the Greater Vancouver Area, on the other hand rise by 4.2% in 2018.
Alexander added that Toronto is likely to fall into the same situation as that of Vancouver. The government hit the pause button on real estate. Changes to regulations had an impact for about six months and after the market finally appeared to stabilize, it gets back to prior behavior.
