The average home price is down—but that does not automatically mean every home is dropping at the same rate.

Through May 2026, GTA sales under $1 million increased 8.5% compared with last year, while sales over $1 million declined almost 14%.

That changes the mix of homes being sold and pulls down the overall average price.

It reminds me of my grocery store days: if customers buy less lobster and filet mignon and more ground beef, total sales dollars fall—even if you sell the same number of packages.

Prices may still be adjusting, but the headline average does not tell you what is happening with every home, property type or neighbourhood.

The real question is: what are comparable homes in your specific market actually selling for?

One of the biggest mistakes I see first-time homebuyers make is buying out of fear.

They find a house that’s “good enough” and worry that if they don’t buy it, they’ll never find another one.

The result? They stretch their budget, become house poor, and lose the financial flexibility they worked so hard to build.

On the flip side, buying too little house can be expensive too. If you outgrow it in a few years, you’ll be paying legal fees, land transfer tax, moving costs, and eventually selling costs all over again.

The goal isn’t to find the perfect house.

The goal is to find a home you can comfortably afford, in a location you like, with enough room to grow into it over the next several years.

Buying a home is a big decision. Don’t let fear make it for you.

Thinking about buying your first home in York Region or the GTA? Send me a message. I’m always happy to answer questions.

That $799,000 house may not be a $799,000 house.
First-time buyers, this is one of the most frustrating parts of the GTA market right now.
You see a home pop up in your search, it looks like it’s in budget… and then your Realtor says, “Actually, they’re holding offers.”
Translation: they priced it low to attract attention and are hoping for multiple offers.
Sometimes that strategy works, especially if the home is truly special. But for a regular house in a market with more inventory, it can also backfire. Buyers are tired, cautious, and not always interested in jumping into a bidding situation.
So before you fall in love with the list price, ask one important question:
Is this actually the price, or is it bait for offer night?
This is exactly why strategy matters before you start booking showings.

The GTA market has had a wild decade.

From the climb after 2015, to the COVID surge, to the rate shock, and now the softer 2025/2026 market… it’s fair to ask:

Is this the best time to buy? Are we at the bottom?

The honest answer? Nobody knows.

We are in a much better buying window than we’ve seen in recent years, especially for first-time buyers. More choice, less panic, more room to negotiate.

But if someone tells you they can perfectly time the bottom of the market, run. Nobody has a crystal ball.

The best time to buy is when the numbers work for you, your financing is solid, and the home fits your life.

Because the “bottom” usually only becomes obvious after it’s already gone.

Negotiating with your landlord could allow you to save more for your down payment on your first home!

Rents have been dropping over the last year , as much as 10% in the GTA.

It may be in your landlords best interest to keep you happy, rather than the vacancy and stress of renting the home out to someone new….
