Went to the BMO Field last night and watched an entertaining “football” game last night! FTC and Charlotte tied 3-3! Thanks John!

GTA Real Estate Market as of July 2026

The GTA housing market continued to tighten in July, not because sales surged, but because fewer homes came to market.
Sales were essentially flat compared with last July, down just 0.9%, while new listings dropped a significant 17.8%. That shift means buyers have less choice and, in some areas, may begin facing more competition.

Prices remain below last year’s levels. The average GTA selling price was $1,003,956, down 4.5% year-over-year, while the benchmark price was down 4.6%. However, there are early signs that prices may be starting to stabilize.

The takeaway: The market appears to be gradually moving away from the strong buyer advantage we saw earlier this year. Buyers still have opportunities, but potentially less negotiating power as inventory tightens.

Much will depend on consumer confidence, interest rates and the broader economy heading into the fall. If listings remain lower and buyers begin returning to the market, we could see a more balanced and potentially more competitive GTA market.

Wasps are one of those homeowner problems you want handled quickly and from a safe distance.

I recently tried two different products: Ortho Wasp B Gon Max and RAID Wasp & Hornet.

Both worked, but for me, RAID was noticeably better. It sprayed farther, worked faster, and gave me more confidence dealing with the nest from a safer distance.

This isn’t a sponsored post—just sharing something that worked well for me and may save another homeowner some trial and error.

Sometimes helping homeowners isn’t about buying or selling. It’s simply sharing the little things that make homeownership easier.

I’m living through my sister’s eyes here. She’s ‘holed up’ at a “bougey” hotel on the river Seine in Paris today. Not too bad a view, eh?

Bank of Canada Holds Rate at 2.25%

As expected, the Bank of Canada left its key interest rate unchanged at 2.25%. While inflation has edged up due to higher gas prices, the broader picture is improving. The economy is gaining momentum, consumer spending remains steady, and the housing market is beginning to stabilize.

There are still global uncertainties, but today’s decision provides some welcome stability. For buyers and sellers, that means a little more confidence when planning their next move.

Real estate is always local, and the best decision is the one that fits your goals—not just the latest headline.
