Data for the H2 2015 has yet to be released.<br \/>\nMore: This Canadian city is the world\u2019s hottest luxury home market\u00a0<br \/>\nCBC News\u00a0also commented that the average cost of a detached home was now well in excess of CAD1 million (USD750,000), breaching the previous luxury home threshold.<br \/>\nSotheby\u2019s attributes the strong performance to increased demand from international investors, limited inventory, historically low interest rates and heightened consumer confidence. The firm expects these factors to continue to fuel sales growth in the future, according to\u00a0Money Sense.\u00a0<br \/>\nMuch focus is being put on the Chinese when it comes to international investors, with Canada now the third most popular country for Chinese property investment \u2013 after the United States and Australia. Developers are no longer waiting for these overseas investors to come to them and are instead making the first move by travelling to China and marketing their projects to the wealthy and interested.<br \/>\nMore: Are Chinese buyers being forced out of Canada\u2019s\u00a0market?<br \/>\nChinese buyers reportedly often like to buy property during the pre-selling stage, so developers will be closer to meeting their financing goals if they\u2019re able to recruit Chinese buyers to the project.<br \/>\nBut it\u2019s not just Chinese investors who are interested in Toronto\u2019s sizzling property market, per\u00a0The Globe and Mail.\u00a0Families who value the economic and political stability in\u00a0Canada, as well as the general lifestyle amenities offered by Toronto, such as education, are snapping up property in the city.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nImage is by paul\u00a0bica and is used under a Creative Commons licence&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : property-report.com&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/property-report.com\/this-toronto-neighbourhood-has-become-a-magnet-for-chinese-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\">This Toronto neighbourhood has become a magnet for Chinese buyers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Where an\u00a0average detached home now costs more than CAD1 million Toronto\u2019s real estate market has&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":954,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/toronto-luxury-property-chinese-buyers-1024x768.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-fn","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":61278,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/qingjian-realty-to-launch-first-mixed-use-development\/","url_meta":{"origin":953,"position":0},"title":"Qingjian Realty to launch first mixed-use development","date":"July 20, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Its first mixed-use development, Qingjian\u2019s Le Quest\u00a0will house a smart food court run by Koufu Pte Ltd and an NTUC Fairprice Finest.
