Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
In the Greater Toronto Area, luxury real estate sales over $4 million have remained steady, with a 3.0 per cent year-over-year increase between July and August 2024. Single-family homes priced over $4 million saw a 4.0 per cent rise in sales, reflecting continued demand in this segment. However, the luxury condominium market has softened, with a 25 per cent decline in $4 million-plus condominium sales compared to last year. September data showed a continued trend, with GTA residential sales over $4 million increasing 9.0 per cent year-over-year. Despite this, condominium sales remained flat, with just one luxury sale recorded, mirroring last year’s figures.
Vancouver
Vancouver’s luxury real estate market faced softer sales in Q3 2024. Sales of homes priced over $4 million fell 13 per cent compared to summer 2023 levels, while single-family home sales dropped 16 per cent. Consumer uncertainty surrounding the upcoming provincial election contributed to this decline. In September, Vancouver’s luxury market saw a significant 52 per cent drop in $4 million-plus home sales, with no luxury condominium sales recorded. Overall residential sales over $1 million were down 31 per cent year-over-year.
Montreal
Montreal’s top-tier real estate market saw notable growth, with $1 million-plus sales increasing 15 per cent in Q3 2024 compared to the same period last year. Although sales of homes over $4 million were down from last year, the market remains strong heading into the fall, with September $1 million-plus residential sales surging 83 per cent year-over-year. This growth is attributed to strong demand and population growth in the area.
Calgary
Calgary continues to outperform other major Canadian cities, driven by population growth and strong demand. Luxury sales over $1 million rose 31 per cent year-over-year in Q3 2024. The market is poised for further growth, with sales climbing 15 per cent in September, including two properties sold over $4 million.
