Home sales in the Greater Toronto Area fell last month, along with new listings and average selling prices, as the city’s real estate board believes potential buyers are waiting for the market to bottom out before making a move.
The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board says 3,868 homes changed hands in February, down 6.3 per cent from the same month last year, as sales also declined one per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis from January.

TRREB president Daniel Steinfeld says that if new listings continue to trend lower through the spring, competition between homebuyers will increase, which could in turn lead to higher home prices and an upswing in sales.
