5 of the most expensive homes that sold in the GTA in July
As interest rates rise, home sales and prices have fallen across the Greater Toronto Area.
According to recent statistics from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales fell 23.9% in June on a yearly basis, led particularly by declines in the GTA.
The aggregate composite MLS Home Price Index (HPI) for the region dipped to $1,204,900 in June, down from $1,261,800 in May.
Even luxury properties have taken a hit, with many selling under asking. In fact, some of the most expensive homes that changed hands in the GTA last month fetched at least $90,000 under the listed price.
