🏡 The GTA real estate market: Where things stand this September.

The fall market is underway, but buyer confidence remains cautious. Home sales across the GTA were down 9% year over year, while the average selling price declined 5.1%. Meanwhile, fewer new listings are entering the market compared to last September.

With both the GTA and the City of Toronto still in buyer’s market territory, there may be opportunities for buyers ready to make a move.

📊 Read our latest blog for the September 2026 market stats and what they could mean for buyers and sellers.

🏡 When you’re choosing where to buy in the GTA, you probably think about price, transit, schools, commute times and amenities.

But what about air quality? 🌿

It can vary significantly from one part of the GTA to another — and sometimes even between properties in the same neighbourhood.

From highways and traffic to construction, industrial activity and wildfire smoke, there are a few things buyers may want to look into before making a decision.

Our latest blog explores how to research local air quality, what to look for when visiting a property, and why the specific location of a home matters.

🏠 Real estate questions aren’t always about real estate.

In the latest edition of Realty Check, Hillary tackles three very different home dilemmas:

🌧️ What should you prioritize when your basement floods?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How do you navigate strong family opinions when buying a home?
🏫 And should school rankings really determine where you raise your kids?

From waterproofing and backwater valves to family dynamics and school districts, these are the kinds of questions that come up when buying, owning and living in a home.

Realty Check explores the unwritten rules of real estate, renovations, and all things home — with practical advice from Hillary.
