October 2026

Hello Friend,

The Greater Toronto Area real estate market continues to present opportunities for buyers, but economic uncertainty and cautious consumer sentiment are keeping many purchasers on the sidelines. For buyers, sellers and investors alike, "success" increasingly depends on understanding local market conditions rather than relying on broad market predictions. This September was very much a quiet market, as buyers and sellers continued to be uncertain about borrowing rates, how the tariffs would affect their lives, and how the October Municipal elections may impact them. Despite these uncertainties, 5,040 buyers bought homes in the month as they found great buying opportunities in the marketplace.

This “deciding not to decide”, has created a huge pent-up demand and once some form of good news is perceived, sales will continue at a frantic pace. The only hiccup is listings,(homes available for sale,) as they are only at 16,500, down 14.4% from a year ago. Housing starts are woefully down the 3rd year in a row as builders, reacting to the market, have decided not to build. These factors will result in inadequate supplies once more buyers get into the market.

Housing is one of the biggest issues on voters’ minds, and the upcoming municipal election will certainly help shape housing policy across the GTA and Simcoe County for the next four years. Municipal policy discussions in Toronto remain focused on expanding housing development. Transit connectivity, including ongoing work on major rapid transit extensions like the Ontario Line and suburban transit connections, remains a major focal point for community development and long-term property values. Hence, the decisions our next mayors and councillors make on affordability, housing supply and the costs associated with buying a home also influence buyer demand. We hope that the successful candidates will bring in policies to help the real estate market as it is the key to our futures. Home sales influence many areas of our economy, from grass seed to appliances, and from moving companies to painters. Home sales truly drive the economy.

Recently BMO Capital Markets analysis highlights that Canada’s housing market has experienced a significant correction from its early 2022 pricing peaks, yet the broader economy has remained remarkably resilient compared to past historical downturns. This speaks to the fact that the GTA housing market remains fluid and resilient, and consumer sentiment can turn on a dime. The truth is that the month-over-month numbers have been improving in the past several months now despite the year-over-year drops.

Personally I believe it’s a great time to upgrade your home or buy an investment property while many people are still uncertain. Obviously it'll be dependent on your circumstances and perhaps your investment appetite as they relate to the specific local market conditions. If you would like to get together to discuss the opportunities in this market, or know a friend who needs to chat with a professional realtor, please give me a call directly. I would like to share the opportunities that exist in the marketplace today!

Have a great month of October!

Market Watch
GTA REALTORS Release September Stats

Homebuyers were in a holding pattern in September, as uncertainty surrounding the economy, inflation and borrowing costs weighed on Greater Toronto Area (GTA) home sales.
GTA REALTORS® reported 5,040 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in September 2026 – down nine per cent compared to September 2025.

New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 16,500 – down by 14.4 per cent year-over-year.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, September 2026 home sales and new listings were down month-over-month compared to August 2026.

“Housing is one of the biggest issues on voters’ minds, and the upcoming municipal election will help shape housing policy across the GTA and Simcoe County for the next four years. The decisions our next mayors and councillors make on affordability, housing supply and the costs associated with buying a home can also influence buyer demand and confidence in the market,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld.

The MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) Composite benchmark was down by 4.7 per cent year-over-year in September 2026. The average selling price, at $1,006,409, was down by 5.1 per cent. On a seasonally adjusted basis, both the MLS® HPI Composite and average selling price edged lower month-over-month compared to August 2026.

“We know there is substantial pent-up demand in the GTA, with many households fully intending on purchasing a home in the months ahead. These would-be homebuyers want to take advantage of today’s more affordable housing market, but they need to be confident that their employment situation will remain solid and inflation will not put pressure on borrowing costs over the long term,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

“Governments must make homeownership more attainable by reducing barriers such as Toronto’s Municipal Land Transfer Tax and opposing its expansion across the GTA and Simcoe County,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele. “With trade uncertainty and tariffs continuing to affect Canada’s economy, maintaining a strong housing sector is critical to supporting consumer confidence, economic growth, and the significant spin-off spending generated by every MLS® transaction,” continued DiMichele.

A significant package of amendments to Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (enacted through Bill 60 and Bill 97) takes effect on September 21, 2026. These reforms primarily adjust landlord-tenant eviction procedures, notice timelines, and compensation rules at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).

Key Changes Effective September 21, 2026

Universal 7-Day N4 Notice for Non-Payment: The minimum notice period given to tenants for unpaid rent drops from 14 days to 7 days across all tenancy types. Once seven days pass without payment, a landlord can apply to the LTB for an eviction order (L1 form).

Definition of Persistent Late Payments: Tenants are formally categorized as having a pattern of “persistent late payments” if rent is unpaid within 7 days of the due date on 3 separate occasions within a 6-month period. This provides streamlined documentation for landlords issuing an N8 notice.

50% Arrears Rule at LTB Hearings: If a tenant intends to raise landlord-related disputes (such as maintenance issues, illegal entry, or harassment) during a non-payment eviction hearing, they are now required to pay at least 50% of the claimed rent arrears at least 7 days before the hearing. Otherwise, they must address those issues through a separate, dedicated application.

N12 Personal-Use Compensation Exemption: Landlords terminating a tenancy for personal use (N12 form) are exempt from paying the standard 1-month rent compensation if they provide at least 120 days’ notice (up from the traditional 60 days).

Strengthened Bad-Faith & “Renoviction” Protections: To curb illegal evictions, personal-use purchasers or landlords must occupy the unit within 60 days after eviction or face potential fines and compensation mandates. For major repairs/renovations (N13), landlords must provide written estimates of completion and notify tenants with a right of first refusal at least 60 days before the unit is ready for move-in.
