The board says sales totalled 2,135 units, while the volume of sales in dollars rose 41.3 per cent to $1.25 billion.

New listings were up 13.6 per cent to 2,711, while inventory was down just over 14 per cent from last year.

Ann-Marie Lurie, chief economist at CREB, says strong demand and low supply are continuing to drive price gains in the city.

The benchmark price across all home types was $585,000 for the month, up more than 10 per cent from a year earlier.

Properties were on the market for an average of 24 days before selling in February, down almost 27 per cent from last year.
