Durham remains most affordable region in GTA There are some signs the real estate market is starting to ease, but it remains in seller's territory this spring, despite rising prices and interest rate hikes. One real estate company is forecasting a 15 per cent increase in Canada's ag- gregate home price and a 16.5 per increase in the aggregate price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter last year because demand continues to outpace supply. Royal LePage issued its forecast with the April 19 release of its House Price Survey, which found the aggregate price of a home in Canada increased 25.1 per cent year-over -year to $856,900 and the aggregate price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) increased 27.7 per cent year-over-year to almost $1.27 million in the first quarter of 2022. Still, there was a definite slowdown in both activity and price growth in March compared to February, led by declines in the GTA and Calgary, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) reports. Many are welcoming these first signs of moderation. Durham affordable, welcoming Here in Durham Region, the average price dipped 6.5 per cent to nearly $1.15 million in that time and remains the most affordable region in the GTA*. "There is a shift happening and we expect to see further corrections still but nothing overly substantial," says Durham Region Association of Realtors (DRAR) President Meredith Kennedy."Listings are up and so are the amount of sales which is great to see for so many buyers." Could this be the beginning of the long-awaited cooling of the red-hot market? Only time will tell but if you're thinking of buying and/or selling, it's more important than ever to have a local realtor on your side. King Home Team: Royal Heritage Realty has the information, knowledge and guidance you'll need if you're planning to enter the market this year. End of blind bidding? On April 6, CREA announced plans to introduce a pilot project this summer in select markets across Canada to display realtime tracking of offers on REALTOR.ca listings. And beginning next year, home sellers in Ontario will have the option of allowing their real estate agents share the contents of competing offers with the buyers bidding on their property. Under the current system of blind offers, real estate brokerages that represent clients must disclose the number of written bids but not the substance of those bids. Some believe blind bidding has contributed to soaring prices in the GTA because buyers don't know how much more they need to beat the next highest offer and say changes will usher in welcome transparency.
