Small-Scale Infill Is (Finally) Showing Up In Toronto's Housing Data
There's a meaningful shift happening in Toronto's housing landscape—small-scale infill projects like accessory dwelling units and multiplexes are starting to make their mark in the data. In fact, these developments now account for about 10% of housing starts nationally. This uptick is largely the result of recent zoning reforms, which are helping to balance out the declines we're seeing in single-detached home construction.

For me, real estate isn’t just about closing deals—it's about helping clients navigate these changes and find real value in every opportunity. If you’re curious how these new trends could impact your next step, I’m here to walk you through the process, every step of the way.

Toronto Condo Supply Faces Tariff Exposure
When we talk about Toronto’s condo market, it’s not just about listings or showings—it’s about understanding the real pressures shaping our city’s skyline and your investment decisions. Lately, Toronto has been feeling the squeeze on both construction costs and new condo supply. According to a federal construction index, fabricated metal costs jumped 2.1% last quarter. That hit is even more pronounced in our market, where many projects rely heavily on steel. Structural steel alone rose 1.8% this past quarter, and with condo starts already on the decline, there’s less new supply to cushion the blow of rising material prices.

What does this mean for you? Simply put: Toronto’s condo market is more vulnerable to supply-side price shocks right now. As someone who believes real estate is about serving real people—not just moving property—I’m here to keep you up to date on the factors that might impact your next move or investment. Experience the difference of real insight, every step of the way.

Industry Updates: Single-Family Sales Rise, Resale Supply Tightens, Cultural Programming Expands
Some interesting shifts are underway in the Greater Toronto Area real estate market. Recent updates reveal single-family home sales are on the rise, thanks in part to the expanded HST rebate—great news for families looking to make a move. On the other hand, condo sales remain sluggish, and resale supply is tightening, which could mean upward pressure on prices in coming months. Housing starts have dipped slightly, and the City of Toronto has just introduced an AI pilot for building permits—a sign of innovation that could streamline future projects. As always, my focus is on helping clients navigate these changes with confidence, ensuring you have the information you need to make real estate decisions that go beyond just buying or selling a home. It’s about creating a memorable experience, every step of the way.

Home affordability finds its footing, but rising rates could change that
When we talk about home affordability, it’s not just about numbers on a page—it’s about the real impact on families and individuals looking to put down roots. This August, Canada’s average five-year fixed mortgage rate inched up to 4.55%. Interestingly, despite this rise, monthly payments haven’t shifted much for most buyers. What’s truly making a difference right now is the drop in home prices, especially in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montréal. These changes are giving many clients a bit more room to breathe as they consider their next move.

As someone who believes real estate is about serving real people with real needs, I see firsthand how these market shifts can affect your options. My approach is always to keep you informed, step by step, so you can make decisions that are right for you—whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. Creating a positive experience is just as important as the transaction itself. Let’s stay connected as the market evolves, and I’ll make sure you have the information you need to navigate every turn.
