As we have come through a tumultuous year and reflect on market performance, it’s safe to say it was an unusual year, although, quite robust for the real estate industry as a whole. This is especially evident as we examine the numbers in Q4 2020.
A few main points to highlight:
- There is a lot of pressure on price due to lack of inventory and very strong demand. It’s that relationship between supply and demand that you hear me talk about often.
- The December Market Stats chart demonstrate this price pressure quite well.
- The second chart is a price segment chart showing the differences in the market based on price points.
- The third chart is a summary of the 2020 sales in Oakville.
We’ve seen a tremendous increase in prices as we moved towards to the end of the year with average prices in Q4 2020 vs Q4 2019 being 22.5% higher for freehold/detached inventory and 16.5% for condos in Oakville. This demand coupled with ultra-low levels of inventory has already increased the prevalence of multiple offer situations in the early weeks of 2021.
