It’s no secret – the GTA housing market is hot. With the city just starting to open up restaurants and bars again, many Torontonians may be scrolling dream homes over dating apps this Valentine’s Day.
And while Toronto home prices are still on the rise, it seems that new listings are starting to come out of holiday hibernation – the number of homes listed for sale increased by 50% in January compared to the previous month. Maybe there are other fish in the sea after all!
The migration from downtown to the suburbs has become a growing trend among Torontonians seeking bigger homes and more greenspace, with many expanding their search radiuses further and further away from the downtown core. While it may not be the buzzing epicentre that is downtown Toronto, GTA suburbs are the new hot locale, and the people are flocking to it.
