Second Best March Ever!
With 7,904 sales recorded in March, the Toronto resale home market turned in its second best performance for the month ever, TREB President Ron Abraham announced today. "The market continues to run at a near-record pace," Mr. Abraham said. "With the Easter holiday behind us, we are now entering the most active time of year for sales. Spring should result in some very strong numbers."
