The 2015 Toronto Real Estate Market – An economic landscape where supply rarely meets demand, low-rise houses are highly coveted, and detached homes can fetch well over $1 million. We already know the 416 housing market is red hot right now, but what about the Suburbs of Toronto?

Suburbs of Toronto
Suburban GTA — Living here can really pay off

This year, Toronto has seen an increase in sales of freehold (low-rise towns, semis, and detached) homes, however, the actual figure may surprise you.  From January 2015 to August 2015, there has been a marginal increase of only 2 per cent.  This is mainly due to the lack of active listings as well as affordability.  What might be more surprising is the sales activity in the 905 area – in York Region, freehold housing sales saw radical increases this year, with a 20 per cent jump in New Market alone.

As housing prices in the 416 continue to become out of reach for many, hopeful homebuyers set their sights on the suburbs for a place to call home.  With larger lots, newer homes, less hustle and bustle, and basically more bang for your buck, the suburbs of the GTA are a winning choice for buyers in search of family homes as well as investors looking to stretch dollars.

The following Top 10 List covers housing markets in the GTA which saw the most significant price growth for low-rise homes in 2015, and figures representing a year to date comparison for 2015 and 2014.
