The year-over-year price change data cited in the report originates from the Royal LePage\u2019s internal House Price Composite data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the first time in six years, Royal LePage says the national housing market has stepped back from overheated territory and is now enjoying a \u201cGoldilocks moment,\u201d where the market is both not too hot and not too cold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although price appreciation in the Ontario\u2019s Greater Golden Horseshoe has recently stabilized to healthier levels on a quarterly basis, last quarter the region continued to see substantial annual gains, attributed to significant price growth seen at the beginning of 2017, says Royal LePage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similar to the Greater Vancouver housing correction of 2016, the GTA saw a sharp drop in sales volume beginning in April \u2014 the same month the Ontario government introduced the Fair Housing Plan, which included a non-resident speculation tax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buyers who remained on the sidelines after the plan\u2019s implementation have now jumped back into the market while sellers, who attempted to capitalize on spring activity, have taken their homes off the market, says Royal LePage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In turn, these actions have caused the GTA to rebound to a more balanced market, experiencing a correction much quicker than Greater Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing\u2026 is that the market has picked up again, so it likely was a very short correction, in the neighbourhood of about a six-month correction. We anticipate a rise in both volumes and prices this fall, but not at the rate we were seeing in 2015\/2016,\u201d says Soper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Q3 2017, the GTA saw the largest annual price gain out of all Canadian markets, soaring roughly 22% to $860,295. Meantime, the price of a home in the City of Toronto increased 21.8% to $861,397.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hamilton and Kitchener\/Waterloo\/Cambridge came out on top with the biggest annual price gains in the region of 27.9% and 28%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compared to a year ago, Greater Vancouver house prices are appreciating at a much healthier pace. In August 2016, the BC government implemented a foreign-buyer tax to cool activity in the region\u2019s housing market which resulted in an immediate slowdown. After a nearly 10-month correction, the activity in the region rebounded but last quarter prices showed manageable growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Q3 2017, the aggregate price of a home in Greater Vancouver increased 2.5% year-over-year to $1,229,133. During the same period, the City of Vancouver saw an uptick of 2.2% to $1,439,652.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Alberta, the province\u2019s economy continues to emerge out of a recession. With improving oil prices and job opportunities, the housing markets are benefitting from the recovery, says Royal LePage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last quarter, the aggregate price of a home in Calgary rose 5% year-over-year to $479,211.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ottawa maintained its stable momentum last quarter as prices increased by 7.9% year-over-year to $441,453.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Soper, Montreal is a market to watch out for as it\u2019s the most affordable world-class city. In the third quarter of 2017, the aggregate price of a home increased 6.6% to $384,055.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Going forward, Soper says rising interest rates and a strong Canadian dollar should stabilize price appreciation in Canada\u2019s major markets into 2018.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2017\/10\/home-prices-toronto-vancouver-returned-royal-lepage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal LePage : Home Prices in Toronto &amp;
