Toronto’s deflating housing bubble, in one chart

Home sales in Canada’s largest city slowed down for the third month in a row, according to numbers released from the Toronto Real Estate Board. That came as new listings rose nearly 16 per cent, and active listings surged over the year before.

The average house price still managed to increase 6.3 per cent on the year, but that’s well off the blistering annual pace of just a few months ago.

The next few months will be crucial in determining whether the Toronto housing market has simply stumbled, or if this is the start of a deeper correction.
