The Sales Boom: How GTA is Defying Expectations

The robust sales were propelled by an energized economy, tight labor market, and record population growth. However, the news isn’t all rosy. A limited housing supply has escalated competition among buyers, pushing average selling prices upward. It’s a thrilling seller’s market, but what does that mean for buyers?
