🏙️ Selling a condo in 2026 means navigating a buyer-friendly market.

In 2021, you could sell a cookie cutter condo easily as the market was tight and interest rates were at 2%. Top of the market was February 2022.
Jump to today and we’re sitting at over 5 months of inventory for condos in Toronto. That’s a strong buyer’s market.
With more than 22,000 new condo units completing this year, and investors try to exit by selling, Buyers have options, moving slowly and negotiating.

So what does a Seller do? Here’s my thoughts:

⭐ KNOW YOUR TARGET MARKET
⭐ Expect longer days on market, higher inventory, and heavy negotiation.
⭐ To succeed, price your unit aggressively based on recent comparable sales rather than past peaks.
⭐ Know your building like the back of your hand.
⭐ Fix the obvious things.
⭐ Budget for professional staging.
⭐ Biggest mistake Sellers will do is price wrong.
Price according to how your condo is renovated, what sort of floor plan it is, where the building is located and how strong the building financials are.
⭐ Expect lowball offers as a starting point.
Buyers have many choices, meaning you should be prepared to negotiate and potentially accept a more realistic closing window or minor concessions.
⭐ Try to sell within the first 21-30 days so your unit doesn’t fall into the pile of “not sold”.

Every Seller has a reason or goal for selling. This is the most important conversation and will ultimately lead to the right decisions!

⛱️ June Numbers in Real Estate ⛱️

“While the average selling price was still down year-over-year in June, the annual rate of decline has receded over the past few months. If market conditions continue to tighten in the second half of 2026, selling prices could move in line with 2025 and eventually post some increases. This would give an increasing number of households the confidence to move back into the marketplace,” said TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

GTA REALTORS® reported 6,770 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in June 2026 – an increase of 9.4 per cent compared to June 2025. New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 17,282 – down by 12.9 per cent year-over-year.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, June 2026 home sales were up month-over-month compared to May 2026, while new listings were down, suggesting that market conditions have tightened through the spring.

The MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) Composite benchmark was down by 5.4 per cent year-over-year in June 2026. The average selling price, at $1,058,658, was down by 3.9 per cent compared to June 2025.

SOLD! 🤎 Congratulations to all! Loft 209 is off the market! 🤎

When I was prepping this home for sale, I created an image of who our ideal buyer would be. This home already had wonderful design. Through the vision of my fabulous stager, we tweaked a few areas to open up it’s full potential. Editorial style photography captured the magic and the attention of Buyers on-line and in person.
Positive open houses affirmed that we were on the right track and the 19 day Condo sale confirmed that we had presented and priced correctly.
Having a well informed and smart Buyer Agent on the other side, made negotiations a dream and as a result, happy clients on both sides.

Cheers to all! Re:Creative | Property Styling Jessica Spillas Jay Jessica SpillasJay

⚽️ Football & Real Estate Update ⚽️ It’s easy to think of the last week or so of June being all Fifa, all the time, but that simply isn’t the case. (Actually, .... my partner Fab would disagree with this statement!!) The last week has also been School Grad season, and the Day of Fathers, so it’s easy to lose track of the real estate market. So how has it faired? Let’s sit in the DEN of my fantastic new listing and look at the numbers.
⚽️ From last Monday to this one, free-hold inventory rose slightly to 4097 homes listed on the C, E and W districts of our MLS, with 627 of those in the last week. That’s a slight slow down in new listings week over week, but in line with school years wrapping up. Sales were strong, at 261 last week, and 41% of those above asking price. Activity followed prices as they have all year, with 50% of homes selling below $1 million selling in competition and 42% of homes selling between $1-2 million seeing the same. The fighting was much quieter in the upper price ranges, with 17% of homes selling between $2-3 million going for over-asking, and 13% of homes selling above $3 million facing the same conditions.
⚽️ The number of condo sales jumped 25% week over week to 250 sales in the last seven days, with 18% of those selling above asking price. Buyers are finally waking up to the opportunity to buy in a down market. And why not? As an investment, here is an interesting market fact. From June 1, there have been 1104 condo apartments leased, at 100% of asking price with an average of 5 days on market. That can be some stable cash-flow for the right investor.
⚽️ Now back to the game.......🥅
