TORONTO - Friday, January 6, 2006--TREB Members reported a record-breaking 84,145 sales during the course of 2005, TREB President John Meehan announced today. "Last year was the best annual performance since statistics have been kept," the President noted. "It is up one per cent over the 83,501 sales recorded during our previous record year, which was 2004."
During December 2005 alone, 4,255 sales were transacted through the TorontoMLS system, the second best showing ever for that month, and up from the 4,232 recorded during December 2004.
On the pricing front, the average rose a healthy but not excessive six per cent in 2005, to $335,907 from 2004's figure of $315,321. For December the average was $327,216, down from 341,177 in November, but up four per cent over December 2004.

TREB Historical Average Price Data
The graph below
shows a graph of sales price data obtained directly from the Toronto Real
Estate Board showing the average selling price of single family homes from
1985 to date in our GTA marketplace.
Note the historical
trends for spring and fall price increases, where spring typically has a larger
increase compared to the fall.
The benchmark
for changes in price is chosen to be the average price of homes at the last
height of the market, which was $273,698 in 1989.
If you want the
actual values of prices for every month going back to January 1995, I have
them, and would be pleased to E-mail them to you upon request.
