Toronto Realtors MLS

Downtown Toronto Condos

Toronto Condos

Toronto Realtors use the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) , a central system for Real Estate listings.

The Canadian Real Estate Association owns the rights to member MLS across Canada.

Realtor.ca is an internet site that has uploaded listings that has public data for the consumers benefit.

The private MLS system used by all the Realtors has some differences from the public site.

  • Agents-only site has historical data for assessing value of a home
  • It provides commission rates
  • Names the seller
  • Superior search options

The Toronto MLS has 28,000 Realtors promoting homes and marketing them to sell. Most of these Real Estate Agents have their own potential buyers and to list any other way a vendor may miss out on these buyers.

Several other options are available to sell a home through the Internet and For Sale By Owner Sites however the MLS continues to bring successful sold signs to many, many homes.

In order to maintain their status as licensed professionals, Toronto Realtors must abide by a strict code of ethics and meet continuing education requirements.

Figures released by the Toronto Real Estate Board for september showed resales moving forward in resale price and sales.

Projecting ahead, the Toronto average resale price is expected to climb this year by 1% to 2% when prior indications were it was to drop substantially.

Toronto Real Estate August Results Exciting

Toronto Real Estate posted the third straight month with annual sales increases over 27 per cent. Even the average Toronto home price continued in an upward trend, growing 6 per cent from August 2008.

More exciting after such a rough winter, the GTA resale market has improved in both sales and average price for the first eight months of 2009, above the levels during the same period in 2008.

Some of the factors contributing to this Toronto Real Estate turnaround:

  • Lower borrowing costs
  • Monetary stimulus from The Bank Of Canada
  • Trade-up home buyers
  • First time buyers
  • Pent up demand from buyers waiting on the sidelines
  • People more confident in their employment outlook
  • More buyers reacting to strong summer Toronto Real Estate Sales figures
  • Consumers continuing to view Real Estate in Toronto as a positive long term investment

New Condo Tower Planned For One Bloor Property

Toronto developer Great Gulf Group has acquired the One Bloor East property and plans to build a shorter Luxury Condo Tower than was previously planned by the former developer.

The new developer has confirmed the new high-rise tower will be a mix of high-end retail space and of course… Luxury Condos.

This  Toronto Yonge and Bloor location. is sure to create a buying hype similar to the release of the original project.

The bulldozed lot at one of Toronto’s best known intersection remains empty as final design and pricing is worked out by the new developer.

Originally, back in 2007 these Hi-Rise Condo suites were sold for $400,000 to over millions of dollars.

The Toronto Real Estate market has been gaining strength in sales and average prices since the beginning of 2009 with several Real Estate reporters and financial analysts all increasing the year end numbers upwards.

National Real Estate Survey Confident In Current Market

A National Real Estate survey by Royal LePage shows that 61 per cent of more than 1,100 Royal LePage Real Estate agents believe the current Real Estate Market is sustainable.

Canada’s resale market saw record sales numbers in July so much so that the Canadian Real Estate Association ( CREA ) revised their housing forecast upwards for the remainder of 2009.

The survey found the following factors contributed to the recent increase in housing records:

  • Low interest rates
  • Believe the economy is strengthening
  • Release of pent up demand
  • Not wanting to miss the rally in home prices
  • Perception of long term job stability
  • Positive media coverage
  • Government incentives

Asked why sellers are choosing to sell now:

  • Upgrading
  • Downsizing
  • Relocating
  • Realize a return on their investment
  • Retiring

Lower interest rates (over 66 per cent of responses) and upgrading ( 33 per cent of sellers motivation ) were the main drivers of this record market.
