Ontario NDP housing critic Jessica Bell introduced a motion at Queen’s Park for a speculation and vacant home tax bill just as prices in the Toronto real estate market reached the highest levels ever.
For the month of May, the average price for a detached home was $1,716,272 in Toronto and $1,331,176 in the 905, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). Premier Doug Ford’s majority government will likely defeat the motion, which takes a policy approach to remedying those prices, and stick to using Municipal Zoning Orders, which can override environmental concerns, to fast-track developments.
TORONTO - The frenzied pace of home sales that appeared at the start of the year is continuing to slow as new figures from the Toronto Real Estate Board show 13 per cent fewer homes in the region changed hands between April and May.
