"Moderated housing prices combined with low interest rates could present excellent long-term investment and homeownership opportunities in the GTA housing market," noted TREB President Maureen O'Neill.
Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 2,670 sales in January 2009 compared to 5,075 in the first month of 2008. (47% down)
The average home price in the Greater Toronto Area was $343,632, compared to $374,449 last January (8% drop).
