Overview of Greater Toronto Area housing market activity during April 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic is creating a unique set of circumstances for nearly every industry. The received wisdom isn't always working these days, and if you're trying to sell your home during the pandemic, you need more than just general knowledge about the Toronto housing market. You need specific, real-time information about how things are playing out.

Navigating the Toronto Housing Market in Uncertain Times

1. Know What's Happening

The Bad News

We wanted to reach out to our community of valued clients, open house guests, friends and neighbours during this very challenging time. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of our daily lives in an unprecedented way. However, the social distancing that we are all experiencing is key to our success in the battle for the well-being of our society. Together, we will adapt and navigate through our day-to day challenges and emerge stronger, more knowledgeable and ready to regroup and rebuild what has been compromised. Together, we will prevail.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our health care workers, volunteers servicing crisis lines, food banks and the most vulnerable, essential service providers and our leaders on the front lines. We cannot thank you enough. Keep safe.

Real estate has been declared an essential service but, it’s not business as usual. The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) has stipulated that members not conduct open houses and refrain from face-to-face real estate practices. Showings can be conducted under strict COVID-19 health guidelines. In an effort to maintain social distancing, Dave and I have produced virtual open house tours that can be viewed from the safety of home 24/7. Houses are now being “virtually sold” with the help of digital transactions. We thank you for your patience as we navigate these rapid changes and uncharted waters.

Our world at the end of March looked very different than from the beginning. That is true for real estate as well. Overall GTA sales in the first two weeks of March were strong relative to last year, but the impact of COVID-19 was evident in the reduced sales and listings reported in the second half of the month. However, the news is not all bad. Housing prices continue to be relatively stable and, although slower, the market remains active reinforcing the belief that real estate is a solid investment. We believe that economic recovery and extremely low interest rates could fuel the real estate market when life resumes to the new normal. 

Dave and I will continue to communicate via our social media platforms at our GTA Selling Real Estate website, Instagram and Facebook. And, always feel free to call just to chat about life. We will get to the other side of this global pandemic and we look forward to meeting once again. Until then, we may see you on our nightly walk. We won’t stop to chat but, we will smile and wave from a social distance. 

Stay home. Keep well. Keep safe.

Being self-employed can be challenging for home buyers.  We regularly receive information from mortgage brokers about various programs, including those for self-employed buyers.  Here's one example from a lender which, given the competitive nature of the industry, may be indicative of what a self-employed buyer will encounter when seeking a mortgage lender.

A" side Lenders with as low as 10% Down Payment.

This Self Employed program is designed for self-employed borrowers who are unable to provide traditional income verification but have a proven 2-year history of managing their credit and finances responsibly.

Eligible borrowers typically own a small size business for a minimum of two years, which can be confirmed via a third-party arm’s length document.

In addition, the borrower is required to declare their annual income and annual business revenue, which should be reasonable based on the industry, length of operation and type of business.

Minimum 2 trade lines with at least two (2) years history
• No mortgage, installment or revolving credit delinquencies appearing on the credit bureau in the past 12 months
• No reported defaults on residential mortgages for the past 7 years
• No previous bankruptcy

"B" Side lending with as low as 20% Down payment

• Business must be over 12 months old
• 6-12 Months Business Bank Statements required.
• Competitive rates
