RELEASE MAY STATS
TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 3, 2021 – Residential transactions reported through TRREB’s MLS® System
remained high in May 2021, but fell short of the 2016 record and were below this year’s March peak. Despite a
slight ebb in sales over the last two months, market conditions remained tight enough to push the average selling
price to an all-time record in May.
Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 11,951 sales in May 2021 – more than double the result from May
2020, the second full month of the pandemic. May 2021 sales were below the May 2016 record of 12,789 but
remained well above the average May sales of 10,336 for the 2010 through 2019 period. Often, May is the
strongest sales month in any given year; however, 2021 results bucked this trend, with May sales below the
15,646 deals reported in March.
“There has been strong demand for ownership housing in all parts of the GTA for both ground-oriented home
types and condominium apartments. This was fueled by confidence in economic recovery and low borrowing
costs. However, in the absence of a normal pace of population growth, we saw a pullback in sales over the past
two months relative to the March peak,” said TRREB President Lisa Patel.
The MLS® Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up by close to 19 per cent year-over-year in May
2021. The average selling price across all home types was up by 28.4 per cent year-over-year, reaching a record
$1,108,453. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the average price increased by 1.1 per cent between April and May
2021.
“While sales have trended off the March 2021 peak, so too have new listings. This means that people actively
looking to purchase a home continue to face a lot of competition from other buyers, which results in very strong
upward pressure on selling prices. This competition is becoming more widespread with tighter market conditions
in the condominium apartment segment as well,” said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.
