December newâ€"home sales show substantial increase There were 786 new.homes sold in the Greater Toronto Area in December, 1993 â€" a whopping 77 per cent increase from the 445 new homes sold in December, 1992, according to the Greater Toronto Home Builders‘ Association (GTHBA). "The 786 sales represents the best December result since 1988 and the third consecutive outstanding monthly performance," said GTHBA president Peter Langer. The fourth quarter results raised total 1993 newâ€"home sales to 11,297 â€" a 12 per cent increase over the 10,091 new home sales recorded in 1992. "We are obviously very pleased with the strong, positive trend which emerged over the last quarter of 1993," said Langer. "Up until the end of September, 1993, newâ€"home sales were flatâ€"line with 1992. October, November, and December witnessed monthly increases of 44 per cent, 70 per cent, and 77 per cent respectively, BOSLEY cce REAL ESTATE W. H. BOSLEY CO. LTD. REALTOR WARM, COMFORTABLE FEELING EXECUTIVE SUITE resulting in a strong finish to 1993," Langer said. "Looking ahead, we see a number of positive factors, particularly excellent affordability and improving consumer confidence, converging to give us cause for optimism for 1994," Langer said. "Based on these factors, we are projecting a further 15 to 20 per cent increase in new home sales in 1994," he said. Langer called on the provincial govâ€" ernment to work together with the industry to ensure that this recovery takes hold and gains momentum. "Our industry was responsible for more than 28,000 jobs in 1993. However, we still have a long way to go in contributing to provincial economic growth. We certainly cannot tolerate any increases to our costs, whether process related or through the introduction of higher and higher building code standards," he said.
