多伦多和米西索加这样的中心城市anticipated to see price increases of 10 and 14 per cent in the new year.

Despite all the news ofsoaring, all-time-high prices, Toronto only saw a seven-per-cent year-over-year price growth in 2021, climbing from $986,085 to $1,054,922. One year from now, that average home price is expected to sit around $1,160,491.

And it'seven crazier out in other parts of the province. Brampton prices rose 25 per cent year-over-year in 2021 to $1,085,417. Durham prices jumped even higher, up 29 per cent to $914,48 in 2021. But the craziest of all was London, where prices skyrocketed a staggering 30 per cent from $487,500 in 2020 to $633,700 in 2021.

Though home values may say good things about Canadians' confidence in the market, experts recognize that not everyone is excited about the ever-increasing prices in this country.

"Market challenges such as rising prices and limited supply have impacted local markets from coast-to-coast, causing angst this past year among those looking to get into the market and those hoping to move up in it," says Elton Ash, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Canada.

And it's not just a Toronto area problem, with 33 per cent of Canadian homebuyers considering 'workarounds' to buy a home in the face of soaring prices and dwindling supply.
