Average Price In First Quarter Rises 3.2% Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 7,765 sales through the Toronto MLS® system in March 2013, down Joette Fielding 17% compared to Team Leader 9,385 transactions in March 2012. While the year-over-year dip in March sales followed the trend that has unfolded since mid-way through 2012, it is also important to note that the Good Friday holiday was in March this year versus April in 2012. Generally speaking, there are fewer sales reported on statutory holidays and weekends. In the first quarter of 2013, sales amounted to 17,678, down by 14% compared to Q1 2012.
Make A “Great Things” List What’s great about your home? Is it the spacious foyer and generous main floor closet space? Is it the beautiful washroom? Is it the playground that is only a short walking distance away? Although some properties may look similar
TREB's average price forecast for 2013 remains at $515,000, representing a 3.5% annual rate of growth.
The average selling price in March was $519,879, up by 3.8% compared to March 2012. The average price in Q1 2013 was $508,066, up by 3.2% compared to the first quarter of 2012.

at first glance, every home is unique – with features and characteristics that make it special. If you’re considering putting your home on the market, make a list of all the great things about your property that potential buyers will want to know. Start by thinking about what YOU think is great about your home. Write down what you really love about the house and the surrounding area. Next, think about what friends and other

visitors to your home think is great about it. Have you ever heard anyone say something like, “I really love your kitchen!” or, “This is such a quiet street”? Those are indications that potential buyers will like those features and characteristics too. Finally, talk to a REALTOR®. He or she can help you determine all the great things about your home and the area – especially if that REALTOR® specializes in this neighbourhood.

Can You Afford The Home You Want? Can you afford to purchase the home you really want? Here are some things to consider: • What kind of home do you want? What kind of neighbourhood do you want to live in? What features and characteristics do you need in a home? (Three bedrooms? A large livingroom for entertaining? A backyard big enough for a garden?) • What homes currently on the market match that criteria? Are there some properties for sale that are close to what you’re looking for? What are their listing prices? How much, realistically, will it cost to buy one of those homes?
• How much, realistically, can you expect to get for the sale of your current property? • How much of a mortgage will you need? How does that compare to the mortgage you qualify for? • What additional costs will you incur in selling your current property and purchasing your new home? (For example, moving, home inspection, repairs and renovations, closing costs, etc.) Chances are, there’s a home on the market that you can afford – and is right for you. Call today to discuss.
