Ontario home prices to rise about 4 per cent through 2016: Central 1 forecast

“TORONTO – A new forecast suggests Ontario home prices will rise about four per cent a year through 2016, down from a decade-long annual average of about six per cent.

The forecast by Central 1 Credit Union says higher mortgage rates in the next three years will restrain housing sales but not cause a market correction.

It also predicts the Toronto condo market will slow as builders delay new construction in the face of weaker demand.

Central 1 says the total number of new condos in Toronto in pre-construction, under construction, occupancy and sell-out phases will be about 100,000 units at the end of 2013.”
