March brought a noticeable shift across the GTA market!

While pricing remained softer year over year, transaction activity saw a slight increase and buyers continued to have more time and choice in the market.

🏡 Average selling price: $1,017,796 (↓ 6.7% YoY)
📈 Total transactions: 5,039 (↑ 1.7% YoY)
📉 New listings: 14,442 (↓ 16.7% YoY)
⏳ Days on market: 47 (↑ 27% YoY)

What stands out this month is the contrast:
Homes are taking longer to sell, yet deals are still getting done.

That tells an important story about today’s market: serious buyers are active, but expectations around pricing, preparation, and negotiation matter more than ever.

Swipe through for the full March breakdown across the 416 and 905, including pricing by property type and region.

SOLD FIRM.

This one was an uphill battle.

The Niagara market has been all over the place, and this home — the smallest on the block — had its challenges. We navigated price adjustments, conditional periods, extensions, and lender delays… but we got it done.

This one is bittersweet.

Not just because of the market, but because this was my parents’ home. So many memories in this bungalow. Now they’re preparing for their next chapter in Calgary later this spring.

I’m incredibly grateful we were able to secure a firm deal in a strong buyer’s market. It wasn’t easy — but persistence, patience, and strategy matter.

Praying for continued health, happiness, and many beautiful new memories in this next season ❤️
