Toronto home sales increased for a fourth straight month as falling interest rates helped draw buyers back into the market.

Transactions in Canada’s largest city rose 1.9% in November from the previous month, according to seasonally adjusted data released Wednesday from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board. That helped push the benchmark price for a home in the city up 0.8% to C$1.094 million ($777,940), the second straight monthly gain.
