Three Reasons Why The Toronto Real Estate Market Will Not Crash in 2016

Countless real estate experts have been watching the market and have come to the conclusion that there will not be a crash in prices in the upcoming year. We’ve done our research and pulled together the top three reasons why they’re right.

Downtown Toronto Vibrant City Skyline

  1. A hot economy = a hot real estate market.
    If you look at Toronto’s financial history, it’s easy to see the housing dips are directly correlated with a shrink in the economy. When the economy shrinks, people lose their jobs and are forced to sell their homes. When supply rises and demand shrinks, the price of homes has to adjust accordingly. A recession is not in Toronto’s foreseeable future. Actually, a 2.8% economic growth for the metropolitan area has been forecast for the coming year, bringing with it a rise in employment opportunities that will likely bring in a new wave of people looking to work and live downtown.
  2. The demand outweighs the supply.
    Supply and demand is simple. As more people move in to the city, the demand for housing increases. Builders can’t keep up with the ever-growing population, leading to a shortage in housing. Any new listings are almost immediately picked up by buyers eager to live in the metropolitan area.
  3. There’s no “bubble” to burst.
    Anyone who claims the Toronto housing bubble will burst does not have a clear understanding of what causes a bubble in a market. A bubble is when individuals purchase land or houses on speculation, with the purpose of making a quick dollar. This is not the case in Toronto. People are purchasing homes because they want to be apart of the vibrant community. As long as the city continues to thrive, Canadians and foreigners will want to move to the country’s cultural hub.
