  Toronto area home sales down to 10-year low in 2018 and number of listings dip.   Home sales in Toronto and the surrounding GTA area fell to a 10-year low in 2018, as the number of new listings coming to the market declined and home buyers and sellers faced with a new reality of higher interest rates and stricter mortgage rules including mortgage stress tests.   The Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) says there were 77,426 residential transactions recorded through its Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system in 2018, down 16.1 per cent from 92,263 sales in 2017.

Toronto downtown is gaining from ‘Hyper-concentration’ of knowledge jobs in a permanent shift

New Rent control rules could mark return to sky-high rent increases for Toronto tenants

Toronto housing   New Rent control rules could mark return to sky-high rent increases for Toronto tenants   With new Rent control rules and the province of Ontario scrapping rent control for new units across Ontario as of November 15, 2018, affordable housing advocates are warning that the changes could mark a return to sky-high rent increases for thousands of Toronto tenants.   The Progressive Conservative government revealed the details on November 15, 2018 through the fall economic statement, announcing legislation which ends rent control for all newly-built or newly-converted rental units going forward — while maintaining rent control for current tenants —
