A sales migration after-effect of BC\u2019s new land transfer tax is already being seen in the numbers. Toronto Home sales apparently are soaring in wake of B.C.’s unruly \u201cForeign Buyer Tax\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Toronto area’s real estate industry agencies are reporting new month of August records for home sales together with a 17.2% increase in the average sale price. Toronto agents racked up a record setting 9,813 sales this past August 2016; 23.5% more than in August 2015. The only other factor was that last month’s volume was assisted by two additional working days.<\/p>\n

The average price for Toronto homes that sold, for all variations of property details, was $710,440. The average price for \u201cdetached homes\u201d in the city of Toronto itself went up 18.3% from a year ago to per cent to $1,200,000.<\/p>\n

Industry observers in BC have previously voiced concerns that Vancouver’s new 15% tax on foreign buyers would send investors to Toronto and also perhaps secondly Montreal – driving up prices in Toronto\u2019s market, which is already molten lava hot.<\/p>\n

Comparatively, homes sales in Vancouver fell 26% in August from a year ago. The introduction of the tax was implemented on Aug. 2, so the tide obviously shifted fast.<\/p>\n

Despite the unruly new tax legislation, and its\u2019 still hidden loopholes, prices in Vancouver have continued to rise despite the drop in the number of sales. The benchmark price for all Vancouver residential properties rose 34% from a year ago to $933K.<\/p>\n
