Housing Market Report for August 2021
JULY NUMBERS SHOW STRONG DEMAND CONTINUES FOR HOME OWNERSHIP IN GTA
News Release: TORONTO, ONTARIO, August 14th, 2021 – With almost 9,400 residential homes sales reported in July 2021, demand for home ownership remained well-above average for the time of year despite being below the record July result set a year earlier. Market conditions actually tightened relative to July 2020, with sales accounting for a greater share of new listings compared to last year. The sellers’ market conditions sustained a double-digit annual rate of price growth.
“Demand for ownership housing has remained strong despite a pandemic-related lull in population growth. Of specific note is the condominium apartment market, which has seen a marked turn-around in 2021 with sales up compared to last year. First-time buyers, many of whom were slower to benefit from the initial recovery phase, remain very active in the market place,” said TRREB President Kevin Crigger.
Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 9,390 sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in July 2021 – down by 14.9 per cent compared to July 2020 result of 11,033. On a seasonally adjusted basis, July sales were down by two per cent compared to June.
The MLS® Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up by 18.1 per cent compared to July 2020. The average price for all home types combined was $1,062,256 – up 12.6 per cent compared to July 2020. The detached market segment led the way in terms of price growth, driven by sales in the suburban regions surrounding Toronto. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the average price was up by 0.9 per cent compared to June.
“The annual rate of price growth has moderated since the early spring, but has remained in the double digits. This means that many households are still competing very hard to reach a deal on a home. This strong upward pressure on home prices will be sustained in the absence of more supply, especially as we see a resurgence in population growth moving into 2022,” said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.
“There is a huge backlog of people seeking citizenship or permanent resident status in Canada. A large share of these newcomers will ultimately choose to call the GTA home. This means ownership and rental market conditions will remain tight with upward pressure on prices for the foreseeable future. Policy makers at all levels must pursue a coordinated effort to bring on a greater diversity of supply in major metropolitan areas,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.

Notice: Year-over-year comparisons for May will be exaggerated by the temporary downturn from the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020.
Hamilton's housing market was stable this May as average sold prices stayed relatively constant month-over-month around $800K. Sales dipped slightly with a 5% month-over-month drop but still remained 98% higher than May 2020 levels. Inventory remained severely limited as the average home sold within 2 weeks of being listed.
The relative strength of detached homes vs condo apartments reversed this month as sold prices for detached homes fell while condo prices continued to surged upwards. Detached homes sold for an average of $860,953 this month, a slight drop from the previous high of $874K set in March. In comparison, average sold prices for condo apartments has continued to skyrocket these past few months, increasing from $472K in March to $480,790 this month. Given the limited number of transactions in Hamilton, however, these figures could be affected by temporary outliers.
Home prices in Hamilton still remain relatively affordable with average sold prices in Hamilton City Centre at less than $600K. Hamilton East is slightly more expensive at an average sold price of $622K. In contrast,average sold prices of homes in Toronto are beyond $1M in most regions. This difference is likely to remain as Toronto benefits from an expanded CMHC First-Time Home Buyer program and a growing tech sector.
The recent increase of the mortgage stress test rate to 5.25% could potentially affect affordability in the region for marginal buyers. However, it is much more likely to affect more leveraged home buyers in the rest of the GTA versus Hamilton, where homes are more affordable.

Canadian Housing Market Overview in 2021
Canadians are on the move. Findlay Real Estate isn’t calling this an “exodus,” but the re-location trend across the Canadian housing market is real, and it’s just one focus of the OREA 2021 Housing Market Outlook Report. Century21 Canada anticipates healthy housing price growth at the national level, with move-up and move-over buyers continuing to drive activity in many regions across the Canadian housing market. An ongoing and widespread housing supply shortage is likely to continue, presenting challenges for homebuyers and putting upward pressure on prices.
Due to these factors, the 2021 Century 21 outlook for average residential prices is an estimate of +4% to +6% nation-wide. Here’s the regional break-down:
Who and What Is Driving Demand for Toronto, Hamilton, GTA Real Estate in 2021?
The Toronto, Hamilton, GTA housing market has experienced shifts in buyer demand prompted by economic factors, lifestyle changes and immigration in the wake of COVID-19. Toronto’s condo market is currently a buyer’s market, whereas the rest of the GTA market favours sellers.
Given that remote work is a widely available option, many Toronto buyers have been choosing homes based on affordability, often outside of the city, versus being close to their place of work within the core. This migration outside of urban areas has been a common trend across many Canadian housing markets as well as regions abroad, as homebuyers seek more square footage and green space, and less density.
In 2021, the immigrant homebuyer is expected to drive market activity, which includes those coming to Toronto for education purposes, along with the expected influx of immigration from outside the country. Given this trend, condominiums will likely see the most activity in 2021, based on their affordability – particularly for first-time homebuyers.
Outside of the downtown core, the condominium market has been relatively balanced since the start of COVID-19, based on buyers looking for more space while still being mindful of budget.
Toronto, Hamilton, GTA’s luxury housing market remains largely un-impacted by COVID-19 and is driven by move-up buyers.
