Where are we today? Well...it's certainly hard say where we are given the fact that we're probably experiencing a shift in the marketplace. However, looking back at the first half of the year, the Toronto real estate market was extremely active. Historically 55% of all sales occur during the first six months of the calendar year. This year the same six months will more than likely represent approximately 60% of all sales conducted throughout the year. Obvious reasons for this is the iplementation of HST on July 1, 2010, which was well publicized going into the year.
