Home price spikes topped by Windsor
The Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast released today notes that the aggregate price of a home in Canada increased 8.6 per cent year-over-year to $692,964 in the third quarter. Windsor, Ont. reported the highest price gain in the third quarter as the aggregate price of a home rose 17 per cent year-over-year followed by Oshawa (15 per cent), Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge (13.9 per cent), Hamilton (13.7 per cent) and Mississauga (13.5 per cent), all in Ontario. Royal LePage suggests a COVID-related spike in savings has been diverted into housing, helping to drive the price surges.
