In-person is always ideal, but with winter doing what winter does, Jeff is hosting the next First Time Home Buyers seminar online. If you’ve been meaning to learn more but haven’t wanted to brave the cold, this is a great place to start. DM me for access.

💭 Ever wonder where your rent money could be going instead?

At $2,500 a month, that’s $30,000 a year. Over five years, that’s $150,000 paid to a landlord. What if that money helped build your future instead?

Join The Johnson Team for a First-Time Home Buyer Webinar
📅 February 12, 2026
⏰ 7:00 PM

We’ll cover:
• How much help first-time buyers actually have access to
• Why 20 percent down isn’t always required
• How Ontario and federal programs really work
• What buying now versus waiting could cost you

No pressure, no jargon, just clear information so you can make a smart decision.

✅ Register now and get the facts before making your next move.

January is supposed to be the slowest month in Toronto real estate. It’s cold, it’s dark, and most buyers tell themselves they’ll wait until spring. Fewer listings, fewer showings, and lots of browsing from the couch.

But Toronto West didn’t fully slow down this January.

Sales to new listings data shows Toronto West absorbing homes faster than the city overall, with W01 to W03 leading the way. Buyers who are active right now are being selective, but they are very much present, especially in west end neighbourhoods.
Detached homes are moving when they are priced realistically and show well. Buyers are careful, but they are not sitting on their hands. The homes that feel right are getting attention even in mid-winter. I saw this play out earlier in January when two similar detached homes had very different outcomes based largely on pricing and presentation. One lingered, the other didn’t.

Where things get more interesting is semi detached homes. In Toronto W01 to W03, semis are already behaving like it’s spring. These homes are seeing seller leaning demand in January, which is unusual and worth paying attention to. They’ve become the sweet spot for buyers who want space, location, and long term value without stretching too far.

Townhomes remain steady and balanced, while condos continue to give buyers plenty of choice and leverage. The headline market may feel quiet, but under the surface, ground oriented homes in Toronto West are tightening.

January is not about urgency. It’s about opportunity. Buyers who move now are seeing homes before competition ramps up and before spring energy returns. By the time everyone else stands up from the couch, the best options often already have interest.

Spring always comes. The question is whether you want to be early or late.

October GTA Real Estate Snapshot: A Lighthearted Update

1 - Sales Surge – Sales skyrocketed 44.4% from last year, proving that, yes, people still love buying homes even in Toronto's pricey market!

2 - Listings are Up, but Not by Much – More homes hit the market, but not enough to keep up with eager buyers. The result? A slightly tighter market than last year.

3 - Prices Are Creeping Up, But Not Too Fast – The average home price inched up by 1.1% to $1.135 million. Consider it the Toronto version of “affordable-ish.”

4 - Lower Rates, Higher Hopes – Bank of Canada’s rate cuts are encouraging more buyers to jump back in, with a boost in affordability. (Or as affordable as it gets here!)

In short: Buyers are back, prices are steady, and there’s hope on the tax front. We've always got your back and will be watching for the next big moves!

GTA Home Sales Up in July 2024: What You Need to Know

Sales on the Rise: GTA home sales increased by 3.3% in July 2024 compared to last year, showing a positive market trend.

More Homes for Sale: New listings surged by 18.5%, giving buyers more choices and slightly easing prices.

Lower Mortgage Rates: Recent rate cuts by the Bank of Canada are making mortgages more affordable, boosting buyer activity. We expect this trend to continue into the fall.

Price Update: The average home price dipped slightly by 0.9% year-over-year, but prices are expected to rise as inventory decreases.

Future Outlook: As inventory tightens, expect prices to climb. TRREB highlights the importance of housing innovation and better transit to meet demand.

As always, I'm here to discuss and answer your questions at any time!
