SEPTEMBER MARKET WATCH 🍂

Sales are down. Prices are lower than last year. And buyers still have plenty of choice.

But here’s where September gets interesting.

GTA sales came in at 5,040 — down 9% year-over-year — while the average price fell 5.1% to $1,006,409.

There were still more than 26,000 active listings at month-end. Toronto Regional Real Estate Board.

🏡 But Toronto is very much a market of markets right now.

Condo buyers have considerable selection. In the City of Toronto, there were 5,329 active condo apartment listings in September compared with 884 sales.

Meanwhile, some well-positioned family homes are telling a completely different story.

In Central Toronto, semi-detached homes sold in an average of just 17 days and averaged 102% of asking.

Attached/row houses were even quicker at 15 days, averaging 104% of asking.

And I’m seeing it on the ground too: the right family home, in the right neighbourhood, priced and presented well, can still attract multiple buyers.

📉 Another number worth watching?

New listings fell 14.4% from last September — considerably faster than sales.

That doesn’t mean the market has suddenly turned. It does mean the flood of fresh fall inventory many buyers may have expected hasn’t materialized.

So while the headlines say sales down, prices down, the experience of buying or selling can look very different depending on the property.

For buyers: there is opportunity, choice and negotiating room — but not necessarily on every house.

For sellers: broad Toronto averages won’t tell you how your home will perform. Neighbourhood, property type, price and presentation matter enormously.

And for anyone selling one home to buy another, understanding both markets you’re moving between is especially important.

The takeaway from September?

Don’t make a real estate decision based on a Toronto headline.

What you’re buying, what you’re selling, where it is and the price point you’re in can tell a very different story.

It’s all about the neighbourhood.

One of my favourite things about 161 Banff Road is just how much of Midtown life is right outside the front door.

🌳 Sherwood Park and its beautiful ravine trails practically on your doorstep

☕ Walk west to Mount Pleasant Village for coffee, restaurants and local shops

🍷 Walk east to Bayview for some of the neighbourhood’s best places to eat and browse

🎒 Excellent public and independent school options nearby

🚇 The Eglinton LRT is an easy walk away

🏥 Sunnybrook and Holland Bloorview close by

🛍️ Groceries, cafés and everyday errands can genuinely be done on foot

🏡 And at the end of the day, come home to a quiet, established residential street on a beautiful 49.5 x 100 ft lot

A few of my favourite local stops? AT ORIGIN COFFEE Toronto for coffee, Chon Modern Thai Cuisine for dinner and Jules Cafe Patisserie for a little something special.

It’s that wonderful combination of parks, schools, shops, restaurants and connectivity — without giving up the feeling of a real neighbourhood.

And that’s a big part of what makes 161 Banff Road such a special place to call home.

BEAUTIFULLY BANFF. BRILLIANTLY MIDTOWN. 🏡

Just Listed | 161 Banff Road | $2,399,000

There are houses that photograph beautifully — and then there are houses that simply feel good the moment you walk through the door.

This is both.

Set on an unusually generous 49.5 x 100 ft lot in Mount Pleasant East, 161 Banff has been beautifully renovated for the way families actually live:

4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a gorgeous open-concept kitchen, sunken family room, proper mudroom, second-floor laundry, a serene primary suite and a finished lower level.

And can we talk about that kitchen?

But what really makes this one special is everything outside the front door.

Walk to excellent Toronto schools, neighbourhood parks, groceries, restaurants and the independent shops and cafés of Mount Pleasant Village.

Sunnybrook is nearby, as are Bayview, Yonge & Eglinton and transit — yet Banff itself feels wonderfully residential.

Beautiful house. Big lot. Brilliant Midtown location.

Want to see it in person? Message me to arrange a private showing.

The funny thing about DOWNsizing?

So many of my clients wish they’d done it sooner.

Not before the move, of course. 😊

Before the move, there can be years of memories to sort through.

A home where children were raised. Furniture that’s been in the family for decades.

And a lot of uncertainty about what comes next.

That’s why downsizing often takes more time, more patience — and yes, a little more hand-holding.

And I love that part of it.

I love the challenge of figuring out what the right next move actually looks like for someone.

Because it’s rarely just about finding less square footage.

Often, we’re looking at older, established Toronto condo buildings with generous layouts, great neighbourhoods and real communities within them.

The maintenance fees may be higher, but the space, value and lifestyle can make a lot of sense.

And then comes my favourite part.

Months later, I hear:
“I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner.”

I’ve heard some version of that from so many downsizing clients over the years.

Leaving a longtime home can be incredibly difficult.

But the next chapter can be pretty wonderful too. ❤️

What if Toronto’s condo problem isn’t that we have too many — but that we’re about to have too few?

It sounds almost ridiculous given today’s headlines.

Inventory is high. Prices have been under pressure. Buyers have been cautious.

But while everyone is focused on today’s oversupply, something much bigger is happening quietly in the background:

We’ve stopped building.

That was one of the most interesting themes in Post City Magazines Fall Real Estate Roundtable.

What happens when today’s inventory is absorbed… and there’s very little new housing coming behind it?

For buyers, the opportunity is now.

For the first time in years, they have time, choice and negotiating power.

They can inspect, negotiate, be selective — and walk away.

And importantly, there isn’t one Toronto condo market.

Small investor-driven units are facing very different conditions from larger, well-managed condos in established neighbourhoods — particularly the kind downsizers and end-users actually want to live in.

The same selectivity exists in the freehold market.

Good real estate is still good real estate.

Well-located, beautifully presented and properly priced homes are still attracting serious buyers — and sometimes competition.

So maybe the Fall 2026 question isn’t:

“Have we hit the bottom?”

It’s:

“Where is the value while everyone else is watching the headlines?”

That’s the conversation worth having.

AUGUST MARKET WATCH

Summer was good to us. Rates held steady.

And now Toronto is heading into my favourite season with less inventory than buyers might realize. 🍂

August was quieter — but I wouldn’t mistake quieter for weaker.

GTA sales eased from 5,995 in July to 5,057 in August. Not particularly surprising as summer wound down.

But here’s where it gets interesting.

🏡 Active listings fell to 24,482 — down 11.3% from last August.

📉 New listings were down 14.1% year-over-year. That flood of inventory we’ve been watching is beginning to ease.

💰 The average GTA sale price was $993,410, down 2.7% from last year, while the HPI was essentially unchanged from July.

🏙️ Condos aren’t surging yet, but they accounted for just over a quarter of all GTA sales in August.

👀 And one number really caught my attention:

Sales over $2 million actually edged higher from July to August — even as overall sales fell.

This isn’t a market moving in one direction.

It’s becoming more selective.

Good homes, in good locations, priced and presented well, are finding buyers. Others are taking longer.

And as inventory tightens, buyers may not have quite as much leverage this Fall as they did earlier in the year.

For sellers, this certainly doesn’t mean the bidding-war market is suddenly back. It means strategy matters.

For buyers, there’s still choice and room to negotiate. But when the right property appears, I wouldn’t assume you’ll be the only one watching it.

After an uneven Spring and a good summer, the market feels like it’s beginning to find its footing.

And now we head into Fall — my favourite Toronto season, and one I’m genuinely excited about this year. 🍁

09/04/2026

After Wednesday’s wild Toronto storm, we’re heading into the last long weekend of summer — and, apparently, some beautiful weather. I’ll take it. ☀️

Labour Day always feels a little like a turning point to me.

Buyers who were exhausted by the Spring market have had a chance to breathe.

Sellers have had time to reset and reassess.

And with the Bank of Canada holding rates steady this week, we head into Fall with a little more information — and perhaps a little more optimism.

Because if 22 years in real estate has taught me anything, it’s this:

One day.
One buyer.
One seller.
One unexpected turn.

And suddenly, everything can look different.

I’m genuinely excited to see what this Fall market brings — and it doesn’t hurt that we’re heading into one of my absolute favourite Toronto seasons. 🍁

And for many parents, this weekend is an especially big one — dropping a child off at university for the first time.

I have quite a few friends doing exactly that, and knowing it’ll be my turn this time next year makes it feel a little closer to home. ❤️

So, whether you’re packing up a dorm room, squeezing in one last summer weekend, or simply enjoying the sunshine — have a wonderful Labour Day weekend.

What a difference a day makes. 🎶❤️

Most people see the exciting moments.

The “SOLD” sign.

The keys.

The happy photos at the end.

What they don’t see is everything that happens in between.

The conversations that happen after hours.

The preparation before a home ever hits the market.

The problem-solving when something unexpected comes up.

The reassurance when someone is feeling overwhelmed.

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest emotional and financial decisions most people will ever make.

My job isn’t just to negotiate.

It’s to help people feel informed, supported and, hopefully, a little less stressed along the way.

And believe it or not... we even have a few laughs.

Because while I take my work seriously, I don’t believe the experience has to feel overwhelming.

If my clients can look back and remember feeling looked after—not just the outcome—then I’ve done my job.

As we head into the quieter weeks of summer, I’ll be taking a little time to recharge while quietly getting ready for the fall market.

Emails will still be answered.

Clients will still be looked after.

But a little downtime helps all of us come back with fresh energy.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to be part of your journey.

I never take that responsibility—or your trust—for granted. ❤️

🏙️ Thinking about buying a Toronto condo?

This summer 🌞 might be worth a closer look.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been having more conversations about condos than I have in months.

First-time buyers.

Parents thinking about helping their adult children get into the market.

Downsizers looking for a simpler lifestyle.

And they’re all asking the same question...

“Is now a good time to buy?”

The June numbers help explain why.

📈 Condo apartment sales increased 14.3% compared to June last year.

📉 Average condo prices are still about 9% lower than they were a year ago.

That’s a combination we don’t see very often.

Buyers are returning, but there’s still value to be found.

As we move into the quieter weeks of summer, many buyers naturally take their foot off the gas.

That often creates opportunity.

Less competition.

More choice.

More negotiating room.

But only if you buy the right condo.

The building matters.

The location matters.

The maintenance fees matter.

That’s where experience and good advice make all the difference.

If buying a condo has been on your mind, this summer might be worth a closer look.

No hype. Just perspective.
