This home saw a $250K price drop in Mississauga

Good news for home buyers — some sellers are lowering prices in this sluggish real estate market.

Despite the Bank of Canada’s quarter-point cut to its key interest rate, the market remains slow. A lack of urgency from buyers has led to nearly all property types sitting on the market for longer and prices decreasing for some home types.

The average price of a condo townhouse decreased the most month-over-month by 3.4 per cent to $803,584 in June in Mississauga. The average price of a detached home experienced a modest increase of one per cent from May to June to $1,551,752.

The cool market has seen some sellers resorting to taking a loss. A condo listed for 10 times finally sold in Mississauga but only after taking a $125,000 loss.

A new report from Zoocasa found seven properties across the GTA that have recently adjusted their asking prices.

A quiet summer market has “led to price softening” and many properties have lower original listing prices, Zoocasa notes.
