Toronto’s average home price has slipped just under the $1M mark, settling around $993K—a modest 3% annual dip that’s given some relief to hopeful buyers. At the same time, we’re seeing a tightening in inventory: new listings have dropped roughly 14% year-over-year to about 12,100, leaving buyers with fewer options to consider. Sales numbers reflect this shift as well, with just over 5,000 homes changing hands—a 2% decline from last year. While stable mortgage rates and encouraging economic updates are supporting affordability, ongoing trade uncertainties and the potential for higher borrowing costs are keeping some households on the sidelines. If inventory continues to shrink and prices start to climb, buyers may feel the urge to move quickly, while improving conditions for sellers could bring more listings onto the market. Having navigated countless market cycles, I know how these shifts can shape not only individual purchases, but long-term financial freedom. My team and I bring a broad, strategic perspective to every transaction, helping you make sense of the numbers and the landscape—so your decisions today serve your future tomorrow.
