In February 2026, sales and average prices were lower than last year, but higher than January. That month-over-month lift is common after the winter slowdown.

February’s pickup showed more homes sold across all property types. Semis had the largest month-over-month price jump. They may be worth watching as a possible “upgrade compromise” with more space and privacy than a condo or townhome without the full detached price.

As spring activity builds, expect well-priced, desirable, low-friction homes to keep selling. If buyer confidence improves and competition heats up, it may show up first...

In January 2026, sales and prices trended lower compared to December and last year, which is consistent with buyers remaining quite sensitive in a high-rate environment

Detached prices held up best, likely reflecting a higher-income buyer pool that was less payment-sensitive with fewer true substitutes in the low-rise market. Even so, year-over-year price declines have improved relative value and helped support demand where buyers are ready to act.

Conditions remain buyer-leaning, with more active listings and fewer sales than a year ago.  As spring supply typically builds into March,...

In December 2025, prices continued to soften with year-over-year declines, reinforcing a buyer-leaning market. Typical December seasonality was further amplified by affordability constraints and cautious buyer sentiment.

Townhomes were the only segment to post month-over-month price growth, perhaps driven by first-time and move-up buyers seeking better value than detached homes with more space than condos. Detached homes showed greater resilience, while condos faced ongoing price pressure from weaker investor demand.

Buyers continued to hold leverage due to elevated inventory, while...

November 2025 GTA home sales volume was down 15.8% and average prices were lower by 6.4% year-over-year. Compared to the previous month, volume fell 18.4% while prices dipped 1.4%.

Semi-detached homes were the most resilient, with sales volume down just 5.5% year-over-year, while condo apartments showed the most weakness at –21.7%. This suggests buyers continued to favour larger low-rise options and were securing better value in a well-supplied market.

With high supply and softer demand, prices remained flexible. But if job growth and GDP momentum hold and borrowing costs stay steady, we...

October 2025 GTA home sales were down 9.5% and prices were lower by 7.2% year-over-year. Compared to the previous month, sales were up 9.8% while prices eased by 0.5%.

Sales neared one of the highest monthly totals this year as more buyers re-entered the market, encouraged by more choice and easing borrowing costs. Semi-detached and townhome activity led growth, highlighting steady demand for low-rise homes that balance space and affordability.

The market still leans in buyer favour, with ample listings and softer prices. Steady borrowing costs may lift confidence, but seasonal slowdown...

In September 2025, GTA home sales went up 8.5% year-over-year, while average prices dipped 4.7%. Compared to the previous month, sales were up 7.3% and prices were also up 3.6%, showing a nice Autumn bump.

Prices were lower than last year across all home types. Month over month, most segments improved, except townhomes which were steady. Better affordability may have boosted the sales of more expensive homes and condos while attracting more buyers in the same segments.

Along with the welcome rate cuts, ample listings continued to let buyers negotiate better compared to last year....

For August 2025, GTA home sales rose 2.3% year-over-year, while average prices fell 5.2%. On a monthly basis, sales slipped 14.6% from July and prices eased 2.8%, showing a quieter end of summer market.

Detached, semi-detached, and townhomes saw more activity despite lower prices, as buyers took advantage of softer conditions in the low-rise segment. In contrast, condos recorded both fewer sales and a 5% drop in price, as high inventory and carrying costs kept buyers cautious.

Overall, the GTA market showed softer prices and more listings than last year, giving buyers more leverage,...

In July 2025, GTA home sales were up 10.9% year-over-year, although average prices fell 5.5%. This was the strongest July activity in the last 4 years. From June, sales still declined by 2.3% and prices dropped by 4.5%.

Detached home sales showed the biggest year-over-year gains, especially in the outer GTA, while condos continued to fall behind. Month-over-month, both segments saw slower sales and softer prices. High suburban inventory is giving buyers more options and leverage.

Although there is still caution and market skepticism due to a volatile trade and job market conditions,...

In June 2025, GTA home sales fell 2.4% year-over-year, while average prices dropped 5.4%. Compared to May, sales showed little monthly change while prices dipped by 1.7%.

While sales remained steady, inventory continued to build, driving active listings higher. Detached and townhouse segments offered slightly better value compared to last year, while condo prices rose by 1.9% from May.

Lower borrowing costs and more choice should favour buyers, but ongoing trade tensions and economic uncertainty are keeping many on the sidelines. With listings taking longer to sell, motivated sellers...
