What To Expect in Real Estate for 2022, and Why You Should Still Invest

Considering investing in real estate this year?

Now is a good time to make a purchase in the Greater Toronto Area.

‍

Competitive market

The competitive market is expected to continue into 2022, driving up home prices – and making it an excellent investment opportunity.

Last year alone the average selling price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area jumped by more than 17 per cent to $1,095,475, the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board reported.

Tight market conditions were experienced all across the board, from houses to condos, said Kevin Crigger, Toronto Regional Real Estate Board president in a news release.

“Despite continuing waves of COVID-19, demand for ownership housing sustained a record pace in 2021. Growth in many sectors of the economy supported job creation, especially in positions supporting above-average earnings,” Crigger said. “Added to this was the fact that borrowing costs remained extremely low. These factors supported not only a continuation in demand for ground-oriented homes, but also a resurgence in the condo segment as well.”

Growing population fuels demand

That demand is expected to continue throughout 2022, driven by population growth in the area, as the Greater Toronto Area is a primary destination for new immigrants.

According to the Ontario governments population projections, the province’s population is projected to increase by almost 5.3 million by 2046. Of the increase, the majority is expected to come from net migration, with a small portion coming from natural increase.

Rising prices

Due to the high demand and low supply, the Greater Toronto Area housing prices are expected to continue on their steady upward climb.

It’s an issue that needs to be addressed, said Crigger in a Toronto Regional Real Estate Board news release.

“Unless governments work together to cut red tape, streamline the approval processes, and incentivize mid-density housing ongoing housing affordability challenges will escalate.”

Why invest in real estate now?

With the rising prices and large increase in population that’s projected over the next few years, 2022 is a great time to purchase an investment property.
