The average resale condo price was $272,851 in April, up 6.7 per cent from a year earlier.

Residential property prices rose by 2.6 per cent year-over-year, making for a combined average price increase of 3.7 per cent compared to last April. The average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold.
