This Month at North Group | June 2020

Black squares ◾️swept across social media platforms last week and anti-racism protests continue. At North Group, we firmly believe in this movement and believe we are all accountable to doing our part to invoke real change. How can we all help? 🗨️

There are many ways to get involved:
1. Support local black-owned businesses; (here’s a small list).
2. Donate (if you are able) to https://blacklivesmatter.ca/.

We are in the business of real estate and know that the most important real estate is the space in our hearts - for equality, love and respect for all.

In the real estate world, spring market heading into ☀️summer? We'll take it! We are boots on the ground with our clients across ➡️the GTA and that’s certainly how it’s feeling right now! 

Check out the market stats ⬇️below to see the ✨pulse.

Although the effects of COVID-19 do remain present, with the volume 📣of sales down (53.7% from May 2019) 📉and the number of listings lower too (53.1%), we are still seeing movement towards a more active market, and this uptick is happening quickly. 

In just one month (April to May this year):  

• Sales are up ⬆️55.2%  
• New listings are up ⬆️47.5% 
• Average sale prices are up ⬆️4.6%  

  Despite media reports, prices 💰have not taken a significant hit, year over year. If we look at all home types, the average price has actually increased by 📈3%.  

Listings are also staying on the market longer, as a result of 😷social distancing. We are hopeful that we can sustain these market conditions as our economy gradually reopens. If so, Toronto Regional Real Estate Board analysts are predicting moderate price growth throughout the ☀️summer months.
