2007 was a big year for the Toronto resale real estate market; in fact it was the best year ever!

01-09-08

December's 4,646 sales came within 2% of the best performance for the month, set in 2001. This was largely due to the condo sales, which accounted for 25% of all resale activity in the month; likely due to the fact condo's are quickly becoming more affordable than houses in the core, and that they show well in the winter. (Something about that low maintenance feature certainly rings in as attractive; on the day of the great storm I entertained loads of calls from friends out shoveling while I sat back and enjoyed the snowy streets from my 15^th floor downtown view!)

Greater Toronto Area home sales increased 12% over 2006 for a grand total of 93,193 sales. To no one's surprise so did the average price; up 7% from the previous year at $394,931 in December (Remember that's the GTA; if you want to live in the core the average has surpassed $500,000).

Where was the activity concentrated in December?

Riverdale (E01) semi-detacched homes were hot with a 75% increase from levels in December 2006
Mimico (Etobicoke - W06) had a 57% increase with all the new condos
North York (C14) was up based on strong detached home sales
Downtown East (C08) saw a 59% increase due to both strong condo and semi-detached sales

Future Outlook:

Strong, stable sales throughout 2007 show that it is a great time to buy or sell a home. We're just back at it now, and activity levels are hopping already; should prove to be an interesting January, especially with Toronto's new land transfer tax coming into effect in just 22 days!

The Organized Outcomes Story

Well into her career in Toronto's fast-paced, high stress financial industry, Kelly Fallis found herself yearning for a meaningful change. She soon realized that she had a passion for organization and enjoyed the sense of serenity that came with it. Kelly left the industry determined to put her organizing skills to use.

As fate would have it, the transition from organizer to home stager occurred a lot more quickly than she had initially anticipated due to the fact she had years of experience helping clients get maximum value for their investment.

Through sheer hard work Kelly Fallis grew Organized Outcomes one customer at a time. It has since become a thriving business that assists realtors and homeowners in gaining maximum value for their properties.
