本人经常来看帖子,只要有房子信息的,我总能看到有几个熟悉的面孔(网名)在这里发表他们自己的观点,本人不评论,我只是参考性的表达,多伦多的房价,处于下跌的前夜,这是事实,现在有一些华人经纪手中的楼花正在急于出手,什么大跌价阿,什么回国急出手阿,这些都是一贯的骗人的手法,想买房的,或钱不够的,暂时不要急于听信这里的谣言进入楼市,房子是买来住的,有能力买就买,最好不要现在买,也不要当这个冤大头,自己看,自己到市场调研,我可以准确地告诉你,我不了解东区,我可以告诉你多伦多西区,Burlington 那个区域现在的新房子就在17-25万的范围,新房子,如果确实想买房子的,是为了自己居住,可以自己去看房子或直接登记购买,没有必要去挤进所谓豪宅60万以上的区域,很多房价虚高,不值那么多钱,让那些有钱的人去享受那种虚高的资产,以满足所谓富人区的富人的自我资产满足。

标题:Home sales drop 15% in September as prices edge higher
副标题:Prices increase by 1.1% in past 12 months, realtor group says
正文:
The average price of a Canadian home inched 1.1 per cent higher to $355,777 in September, even as the number of homes sold fell precipitously.
The Canadian Real Estate Association's monthly sales data released Monday show the volume of home sales across the country was 15.1 per cent lower in September 2012 compared to the same month a year earlier.
More than half of all local markets posted declines of at least 10 per cent, CREA said.
"New mortgage rules continue to keep a lid on national sales activity," CREA president Wayne Moen said in a release.
“In the shadow of the latest mortgage rule changes, activity has ratcheted down from higher levels seen during the fourth quarter last year," CREA chief economist Gregory Klump added.
In July, the federal government capped the maximum length for an insured mortgage at 25 years, making it harder to qualify for a mortgage and likely to squeeze new buyers out of the market and let the air out of price gains.
That's exactly what's happening, CREA says.
"While some first-time homebuyers may no longer qualify for mortgage financing under the new rules, it is likely that many others are stepping back and reassessing how much house they can realistically afford, which is one of the things new mortgage rules were designed to do."
At various times over the past 18 months, CREA has warned that the national average price has been artificially skewed higher or lower because of activity in Canada's two largest housing markets — Toronto and Vancouver.
Vancouver drags prices lower
That was once again the case in September, as CREA said fewer sales in Greater Vancouver this year compared to much stronger levels last year dragged the average lower.
The Vancouver market currently represents about five per cent of all home sales in the country.
If Vancouver is stripped out of the equation, the national average would have shown a year-over-year increase of 3.4 per cent.
"While most major markets are recovering from previous price declines, the average price in Toronto hit a new record high of $509,700," Toronto-Dominion Bank economist Francis Fong said in a note.
"The Canadian housing market has clearly lost some of its lustre," he notes, adding that he does not expect a widespread national correction. "The bulk of the correction will be concentrated in markets we feel are particularly overvalued, such as Toronto and Vancouver," he said.:thumbd: |
