“Spring sales have been stronger than last year, reflecting improved affordability stemming from lower selling prices and borrowing costs. Sales are forecast to improve further as we move through the second half of this year. Recovery would be further bolstered by positive news on the trade front along with an easing of geopolitical tensions and related uncertainty,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Inventory levels trended lower over the past year, but buyers continued to have substantial negotiating power through the spring, helping with affordability. Looking ahead, if sales strengthen further relative to listings, selling prices will level off and even start to grow as we move into 2027,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

May 2026 home sales were up by 10 per cent month-over-month compared to April
2026 and new listings were down by 2.1 per cent – pointing to a monthly tightening of market conditions as well.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, April 2026 home sales and new listings were up month-over-month compared to March 2026. Sales were up by a greater monthly rate than new listings, potentially suggesting more competition between buyers in some neighbourhoods.

“We have experienced an uptick in home buying activity so far this spring. Buyers have taken advantage of more affordable housing market conditions on the back of lower home prices. If market conditions continue to tighten and home prices level off, this could be a signal to intending homebuyers who remain on the sidelines,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Lower home prices and borrowing costs over the past year have been a catalyst for some homebuyers this spring. However, we still have a substantial amount of pent-up demand in the marketplace. More certainty on the trade front and an easing in geopolitical tensions would result in further improvements in market activity,” said TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, March 2026 home sales and new listings were up month-over-month compared to February 2026. Sales were up by a slightly greater monthly rate than new listings.

“It’s encouraging to see an uptick in March home sales compared to last month and last year. This suggests that an increasing number of GTA households are looking to take advantage of improved affordability as we move into the spring market. Positive news on trade and geopolitical issues would help improve consumer confidence and home sales in the months ahead,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Buyers continued to benefit from substantial negotiating power on price across major market segments in the last month. This explains why benchmark and average selling prices were down year-over-year. However, if market conditions continue to tighten, as they did in March, selling prices could start levelling off as we move through the remainder of 2026,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

“The GTA housing supply pipeline is in danger of running dry in the medium-to-long term. The federal and provincial governments announcements on HST and development charge relief were important affordability policy initiatives designed to spur new home sales and construction. It will be important to ensure that the right types of homes are built, namely ‘missing middle’ home types bridging the gap between condos and traditional single-family homes. This is contemplated in the recent Ontario Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.

“There is substantial pent-up demand in the GTA ownership market, with more than 100,000 buyers holding off on making a home purchase. Buyers are waiting for selling prices to level off and for positive news on the trade front. Once we see both, there could be substantial momentum driving home sales in the second half of this year and into 2027,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, February home sales and new listings were down month-over-month compared to January 2026. New listings were down by a greater monthly rate than sales.

“The long-term sustainability of the GTA housing market depends upon the industry’s ability to bridge the gap between condominium apartments and traditional single-family homes. TRREB, with its partners in the Housing Advancement Coalition, is urging the Federal and Provincial Governments to take immediate targeted action to pave the way for increased ‘missing middle’ home construction,” said TRREB Chief Executive Officer John DiMichele.

“The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025 as selling prices and mortgage rates trended lower. Improved affordability has set the market up for recovery. Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Reaffirmed trade relationships and large-scale domestic economic development projects will be key for improved home sales moving forward. GTA households must be confident in their employment situation before committing to long-term monthly mortgage payments, even in this more affordable market,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

“There are many GTA households who want to take advantage of lower borrowing costs and more favourable selling prices. What they need most is confidence in their long-term employment outlook. Fortunately, we saw encouraging news on jobs and the broader economy in November. If this positive momentum continues, consumer confidence will strengthen, and more people will be in a position to consider purchasing a home in 2026,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, November home sales were down slightly month-over-month compared to October 2025. New listings also edged lower compared to October.

“November reports on employment and economic growth were much stronger than expected. The Canadian economy may be weathering trade-related headwinds better than expected. More certainty on the trade front coupled with positive economic impacts of recently announced infrastructure projects could improve homebuyer confidence moving forward,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

“Homebuyers are currently benefitting from a well-supplied resale market. However, as this inventory is absorbed, new construction is required to fill the housing pipeline. It will be key to see projects that bridge the gap between condominium apartments and traditional single-family homes. Home construction results in large economic benefits that would help in today’s economic climate,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele. "All three levels of government should offer further incentives to build more homes for Ontarians."

Home sales in the GTA were down year-overyear in October, while new listings were up. Market conditions continued to favour homebuyers, as average selling prices were negotiated down alongside lower mortgage rates.

“Buyers who are confident in their employment situation and ability to make their mortgage payments over the long term are benefitting from affordable housing market conditions relative to the past few years. However, many intending homebuyers remain on the sidelines due to uncertainty about their economic future,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

“The monthly mortgage payment for an average-priced GTA home continued to trend lower in October, benefitting from both lower borrowing costs, and lower selling prices. This means more buyers can now afford to purchase a home that meets their housing needs. Once we have more certainty on the economic front, including trade with the U.S. and China, home sales should increase,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

“The Bank of Canada’s September interest rate cut was welcome news for homebuyers. With lower borrowing costs, more households are now able to afford monthly mortgage payments on a home that meets their needs. Increased home purchases will also stimulate the economy through housing-related spin-off spending helping to offset the impact of ongoing trade challenges,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

“While home sales have improved over the past year, they still remain below normal levels relative to the
number of households in the GTA. Two more 25-basis-point interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada would
see monthly mortgage payments move more in line with homebuyers’ average incomes, further spurring home sales and related economic activity,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

August home sales reported by TRREB were up on a year-over-year basis. Over the same period, home buyers benefitted from an even larger increase in the inventory of listings. Average selling prices continued to be negotiated downward due to the elevated choice across market segments.

“Compared to last year, we have seen a modest increase in home sales over the summer. With the economy slowing and inflation under control, additional interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada could help offset the impact of tariffs. Greater affordability would not only support more home sales but also generate significant economic spin-off benefits,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

“A household earning the average income in the GTA is still finding it challenging to afford the monthly mortgage payment associated with the purchase of an average priced home. This is even with lower borrowing costs and selling prices over the past year. Further relief in borrowing costs would see an increased number of buyers move off the sidelines to take advantage of today's well-supplied market,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.
