The GTA housing market remained relatively quiet in September, with many buyers continuing to take a wait-and-see approach as economic uncertainty, job security and borrowing costs weigh on confidence.
🏡 5,040 homes sold — down 9% year-over-year
📋 16,500 new listings — down 14.4% year-over-year
💰 Average price: $1,006,409 — down 5.1% from September 2025
While improved affordability is creating opportunities, many buyers are still waiting for greater confidence before making a move. For those who are active, today’s market can offer more negotiating power on both price and terms.
For sellers, strategy remains key. Buyers are taking their time, comparing their options and responding closely to pricing — making it increasingly important to understand the conditions within your specific neighbourhood and property type.
As we move further into the fall market, all eyes will be on whether improved affordability can help bring more of that pent-up demand off the sidelines.
