Real Estate Market in Toronto

TORONTO – Real Estate – The real estate market in Toronto is shifting. While some are calling for a slower market, that prediction is yet to demonstrate itself in prices or demand for new homes.

Royal LePage has announced the addition of Toronto-based Coldwell Banker Terrequity Realty (Terrequity) to the Royal LePage Network. Terrequity is the largest Coldwell Banker franchise in Canada, with a network of nearly 400 agents, operating out of 13 offices across the Greater Toronto Area.

Thunder Bay Market

The Thunder Bay real estate market continues to grow. Demand for homes is staying constant. Some of the factors in this growth continue to be demand on middle to upper end homes. In some cases it is also fuelled by demand for homes due to a very tight rental market.

One of the factors not often realized are a result of the growing Aboriginal population in Thunder Bay. A solid employment market in many sectors has brought a growing demand for homes in the sector.
