Whitby Real Estate Sales Report - January 2017

Whitby Real Estate Sales

 

Whitby's real estate market for residential properties surged ahead this January with an average price increase of 39.2% over January of last year. The Toronto Real Estate Board's (TREB) latest market stats put the average property selling at $677,639 - up from last year's 486,902.

The average selling price of homes in the GTA this January was $770,745. This represents a 22.3% increase over 2016.  Sales volume rose 11.8% and new listings dropped 17.6% from last year.


Active listings were down a huge 49.5%, which shows that new listings weren't enough to counter a tremendously strained inventory that makes for incredible demand on the listings out there and resulting in bidding wars galore on well-prepared and marketed properties.

The MLS Home Price Index helps to normalize the statistics, by adjusting sales statistics to represent typical homes within MLS areas.  When using these numbers, Whitby showed a composite annual gain of 28.79%, compared to the TREB average of 21.82%. 


Inventory levels continue at very low levels with 1.1 months of inventory on hand across the board.  This means that a current sales levels, all of the property would be bought up in the GTA in 1.1 months (if no new listings were added).    Many areas within the GTA have similar figures, but unsurprisingly to those who read my reports, Durham Region still has the lowest inventory in the entire area.  Overall, there is only 0.7 months inventory in the area.  In Whitby, there are just 0.5 months inventory. Many home prices and types are experiencing bidding wars.   


The average listing in Whitby spent 14 days on the market. The TREB average was 19 days.


The average listing sold for 105% of asking, again demonstrating that demand is very strong, and a clear indication of multiple offers on many listings.
