Are we experiencing an Urban Exodus in Toronto?

With more and more people working from home (and no real end in sight) some consumers are looking outside of Toronto to settle. For many there is no longer a need to be in the city to be closer to work to avoid for commuting purposes, there is a concerted effort to avoid more dense urban areas, and with more people working from home, there is a strong preference for more space.

Recent sales stats indicate that several municipalities in Toronto have seen an increase in sales (in some cases up 40%). Cities like Innisfil, Uxbridge, Brock have seen the most impact; it will be interesting to watch and follow these trends we are seeing.

One thing is for sure, Toronto is still a very popular place to live, work and raise your family and even with a trend like this, there is enough pent up demand to still garger a strong sellers market.
