The Real Estate market has gotten off to a good start so far in 2011. Greater Toronto Realtors reported 4337 transactions through the Toronto MLS system in January 2011. “While off the record pace experienced a year ago, the GTA Resale market has started the year on a solid footing. Home buyers in Toronto and surrounding areas continue to benefit from a diversity of housing types for sale at many different price points,” Said TREB President Bill Johnston.

“It is now 2011 and Canada’s economy appears to be in less danger of slipping into recession. Consumer confidence is back with strong retail sales in most sectors. The Christmas season was one of bigger spending than ever before, so I anticipate we will witness a very slow and stable real estate market for 2011,” states Oakville/Milton District Real Estate Board President Jack McCrudden. “Much of the real estate activity in early 2010 was driven by fear of big increases in interest rates and introduction of the HST. For 2011, with the tighter rules for mortgage qualification and the tie in with long term interest rates, many who can afford to buy a home will have a harder time qualifying for the highest rate mortgage. All these factors combined will lead to a stable and steady market through2011.”
