This result was down by. per cent compared to the last three months of. New condominium apartment listings entered into TREB s MLS System were down by more than sales on a year-over-year basis dropping. per cent from 8,86 in Q to, in Q 8. This points to tighter market conditions at the end of 8 compared to year-end. The condominium apartment segment was the best-performing segment in terms of annual average rates of price growth in 8. Condos represent a relatively affordable housing option. With a substantial decrease in listings in 8, competition between intending buyers remained strong. This supported average price growth well-above the rate of inflation and annual rates of price growth reported for other ground-oriented home types, said Mr. Bhaura. The average price of a condominium apartment increased by 8. per cent from $6,86 in Q to $8,8 in Q 8. Year-over-year price growth in the City of Toronto, which accounted for per cent of transactions, was slightly higher at 8. per cent resulting in an average price of $8,66. The condominium apartment segment continued to be a key entry point into the GTA home ownership market in 8. Higher mortgage qualification standards meant that many first-time buyers were looking for more affordable housing options. Moving forward, the concern is that a continued lack of listings supply, despite relatively strong new condo completions as of late, will hamper the ability of potential home buyers to meet their housing needs, said Jason Mercer, TREB s Director of Market Analysis.
