What's Up With condos sold in Mississauga

2007 has been an interesting year for Condos sold in Mississauga. The murmur heard on the street is that there is a tremendous amount of inventory on the market, the market is beginning to favor the Buyer more than the Seller, and the Mississauga real estate market is in a slump. It's easy to follow what you hear, rather than digging into the statistics to find out what is really going on. So let's dig into the statistics by analyzing the first quarter (Q1) of both 2006 and 2007 to see what nuggets of information we can find.

Before we look at the numbers, the assumptions that we are working with here are:

Properties are deemed to be condominiums

Properties are in the city of Mississauga itself

Sold properties represent those that undergo a change in ownership (i.e. we are not counting those that are under agreement)

Let's take a different look at the situation - let's determine how many Condos sold in Mississauga sold in Q1 2006 vs. Q1 2007. To stimulate some conversation, let us try and determine whether the activity (sold condos) and the amount of market consumption year-on-year is the same, regardless of how much inventory there is or is not on the market. During the first quarter of 2006, the total number of condos that sold in Boston was 834, and the average days that a condo sat on the market until it sold was 95. Contrast this with the first quarter of 2007, where the total number of condos sold was 861, and the average days on market was 130. So, year-on-year, we see a paltry 3.2% increase in the number of properties sold, and a whopping 37% increase in the days on market. Combine this with the sales to list price ratio (a condo sold for what percentage of the price at which it was listed) that stayed relatively the same year-over-year, and you don't have a lot of concrete information to get "down" on the market. Mississauga line, the market consumed slightly more condos in 2007 than in 2006, and it paid relatively the same premium for those properties. Maybe you are thinking that with the bump in days on market, consumers may have paid less on a year-over-year basis? If so, you would be wrong! Condos sold in Mississauga appreciated at 6% when looking at the average sales prices (from roughly $458K to $486K) from Q1 2006 to Q1 2007.


What does all of this tell you? Well, you can draw your own conclusions, but the stats show us that the market for Condos sold in Mississauga is performing at a steady pace year-on-year, and despite a shift in days on the market, condo prices continue to appreciate on the whole. If anything, with the new Boston Condo Developments that continue to hit the market, we will continue to see the quality of condos increase, and perhaps along with that, prices.

TORONTO REAL ESTATE AND SOLD PRICES

 Real estate refers to any type of property, including land, businesses, apartments, and other structures. Real estate is often sold in one of two ways. One approach is to enlist the assistance of a real estate agent, who may advise the consumer on the greatest product quality at the best pricing. The second option is for the buyer to purchase the property directly from the owner. Both strategies have benefits and cons, such as the agent’s ability to overcharge the buyer and the owner’s ability to deceive him. In a city like Toronto, the cost of real estate ranges from affordable to prohibitively costly. In the case of flats, for example, we can observe that the further the location is from the city, the cheaper the price of the property. In most cases, apartments built close or in business districts are equipped with nearly all sorts of amenities, including telephone and internet connections, as well as a constant supply of power and Sui gas. The rent for a bachelor unit ranges fr...
