Unless I'm reading the reports wrong, according to the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) the average price of a detached housed in the "416" (Toronto) area in July 2017 was $1,304,288. In August it was $1,191,052.
So that means a -8.7% change from July to August alone.
Numbers for recent months - Detached houses in "416" area code:
August: $1,191,052
July: $1,304,288
June: $1,386,524
May: $1,503,868
April: $1,578,542
Yeah, I get that - I was responding to a comment above about the "sales mix" between detached, townhouses, and condos. The data I referenced directly contradicts the assertions made above that the price declines were due to shifts in the "sales mix" between those three types of homes. Sure, you could argue that the prices declines were shifts within the detached housing market, but I haven't seen anyone provide data on that.
So that means a -8.7% change from July to August alone.
