The remaining inventory for single-family homes was 1,479 units.<\/li>\n<li>The benchmark price for new condominium apartments was $1,097,747, which was down 6.7 per cent over the last 12 months.<\/li>\n<li>The benchmark price for new single-family homes was $1,736,348, which was down 4.3 per cent over the last 12 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe GTA new home market has regained some of its strength in the last couple of months, proving that demand in the region hasn\u2019t gone anywhere,\u201d said Dave Wilkes, BILD president and CEO, in a statement. \u201cIf that demand is to be met with the housing supply and choice that residents need, all levels of government must make housing a priority. The provincial government has set the framework to support the building of 1.5 million new homes within a decade, and we are heartened to see the efforts many GTA municipalities are making toward implementing policies that will make it easier to add housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to see the federal government do its part by enabling housing-supportive infrastructure and being mindful of the impacts of monetary policy on new home buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- News - Bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5143531171910809\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8320848692\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/canada.constructconnect.com\/dcn\/news\/economic\/2023\/06\/gta-new-home-market-registers-first-year-over-year-increase-in-may\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO \u2014 This past May, the GTA new home market gained momentum and registered the first year-over-year increase in more &#8230; <a title=\"GTA new home market registers first year-over-year increase in May\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/gta-new-home-market-registers-first-year-over-year-increase-in-may\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about GTA new home market registers first year-over-year increase in May\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1037],"tags":[357,295],"class_list":["post-19055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-commercial-news","tag-blog","tag-technology","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
