The GTA condo market is still soft, but the underlying picture is beginning to change.

New and active condo listings both fell 14% year-over-year in August, helping bring months of supply down to 5.9 from 6.6 a year ago. Prices remain under pressure, declining 3.6%, but those declines are considerably milder than what was recorded earlier in the year.

Demand is also highly price-sensitive. Condos under $500K accounted for 39% of August sales, while activity also strengthened at the $1.5M+ end of the market. The middle price ranges remained more subdued.

What’s keeping GTA buyers on the sidelines?

August sales remained 27% below the 10-year average, with fewer new listings, economic uncertainty and higher fixed mortgage rates all contributing to a more cautious buyer mindset.

But demand isn’t moving uniformly. Condo sales below $500K rose 31% year-over-year, while Central Toronto continued to show relative strength — highlighting where affordability, location and buyer profile are making a difference.

For active buyers, ample inventory still provides room to be selective and negotiate.

GTA housing supply is tightening, but that doesn’t mean inventory is scarce.

New listings fell 14.1% year-over-year in August, marking the eighth consecutive month of annual declines.

One factor highlighted by Urbanation: some owners who purchased near the market peak are now reaching mortgage renewal with lower property values and higher borrowing costs, making a move-up more difficult.

At the same time, active inventory remains well above its 10-year average. The difference is that fewer new listings are entering the market, helping push the sales-to-new-listings ratio to 42% — its highest level of 2026 and back into balanced territory.

GTA home prices are still down, but the latest data is showing signs of a shift beneath the headline.

The average selling price fell 2.7% year-over-year in August to $993,410, but that decline narrowed from 4.5% in July. Meanwhile, the MLS® benchmark has been flat to slightly higher month-over-month over the past three months as housing supply continues to tighten.

It doesn’t mean prices have turned a corner, but it does suggest some of the downward pressure may be easing.

The August market report is out! Swipe for a snapshot 📊

The GTA housing market continued to see fewer homes come to market in August, with new listings down significantly compared to last year. At the same time, sales were also slightly lower, as buyers in some areas had less choice.

There were 5,057 homes sold in August, down 2.1% from August 2025. More importantly, new listings fell 14.1% to 12,075, meaning the supply of available homes continues to tighten.

While the market is still well below the price levels we saw a few years ago, the decline in inventory is something we will be watching closely. If fewer homes continue to come to market while buyer activity improves, we could see more competition and renewed price growth heading into the fall and winter.

The average selling price in August was $993,410, down 2.7% from last year. However, on a month-over-month basis, the average selling price edged higher.

This is an important distinction. Prices are no longer falling at the same pace we saw earlier in the year, while inventory is tightening. If that trend continues, we could be getting closer to a turning point in the market.

For buyers, the question may become whether to wait for more economic certainty or take advantage of current pricing before competition increases. For sellers, improving market conditions could provide more confidence to list, which would give buyers more choice and help keep the market balanced.

The big story heading into the fall is going to be inventory. If listings remain well below last year's levels and sales begin to pick up, the balance between buyers and sellers could shift fairly quickly.

I am always available to assist you in all your real estate needs. Please never hesitate to reach out to me and I look forward to connecting with you soon.

A GTA market headline can’t tell the full story.

The forces shaping a $500K condo aren’t necessarily the same ones influencing a $1M family home or a $2M luxury property. Interest rates, inventory, affordability, buyer confidence, and competition can carry different weight at every price point.

That’s why broad averages are only a starting point. Understanding what’s happening within a specific segment can provide a much clearer picture of where leverage, competition, and opportunity exist.

The right strategy changes with the price point. Working with an experienced REALTOR® can help navigate the market with the insight, positioning, and local expertise each segment demands.

The Bank of Canada is holding its policy rate at 2.25% once again.

While the rate remains steady, the economic conditions surrounding today’s decision continue to shift. The Bank pointed to signs of a broader recovery in Canada, alongside increased risks tied to inflation, energy prices and renewed trade uncertainty.

For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is that an unchanged interest rate doesn’t mean an unchanged real estate market. Mortgage rates, inventory, pricing, buyer confidence, and local conditions all continue to play a role.

Rather than waiting for the next rate announcement, understanding what today’s market means for your specific plans can help you make a more informed decision.

The down payment gets plenty of attention, but it’s not the only cash needed to close on a home.

From land transfer tax and legal disbursements to title insurance, adjustments, and potential HST on new construction, closing costs can add thousands to the amount needed to complete a purchase.

For properties within the City of Toronto, buyers may be responsible for both provincial and municipal land transfer taxes. Eligible first-time buyers may qualify for available rebates, but eligibility should be confirmed before closing.

Understanding the full financial picture early makes it easier to plan with confidence and avoid surprises on closing day.

This post is for general information only. Buyers should obtain a written estimate from their real estate lawyer and confirm financing costs, HST treatment, and available rebates for their specific purchase.
