The GTA condo market continues to show encouraging signs of stabilization.

While buyers have had plenty of choice over the past few years, that inventory is beginning to tighten as fewer new condos come to market and more existing supply is absorbed.

At the same time, the future condo pipeline continues to shrink, with Urbanation reporting that the pre-construction and under-construction inventory is down 37% from a year ago and 62% from its 2022 peak.

A smaller pipeline means fewer new units are expected in the years ahead, which could continue supporting price stability if demand remains steady.

Whether you're buying, selling, or holding a condo, understanding both today's market conditions and tomorrow's supply can help you make more informed decisions.

GTA home sales took a slight step back in July, declining 0.9% year-over-year to 5,995 transactions, but the broader demand picture remained relatively steady.

Sales continued to rise month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis, while year-to-date activity remained 1.1% ahead of 2025.

Affordability continues to shape where buyers are active. Every low-rise price band below $900,000 recorded year-over-year sales growth, while all price bands at $900,000 and above declined.

At the same time, fewer new listings are coming to market, allowing existing inventory to be gradually absorbed and moving the GTA toward more balanced conditions.

Considering a move? Knowing where buyer activity is strengthening can help you better understand your opportunities in today’s market.

GTA housing supply continued to contract in July, with new listings falling 18% year-over-year as more sellers opted to wait for firmer market conditions.

Urbanation notes that with prices still roughly 25% below their early-2022 peak, many owners who purchased during the 2021–2022 boom would be selling at a significant loss today, contributing to some homeowners holding off on listing.

That pullback is steadily reducing the inventory overhang built up since 2022.

With active listings down 12%, months of supply falling to 4.4, and the sales-to-new-listings ratio returning to balanced territory, buyers may encounter less negotiating room if inventory continues to tighten.

Thinking about buying or selling? Understanding how much inventory is available in your local market can help you decide when and how to make your move.

The GTA housing market is showing growing signs of price stabilization.

While the average selling price declined 4.5% year-over-year to $1,003,956 in July, the mix-adjusted benchmark price continued to edge higher month-over-month as the inventory overhang accumulated since 2022 continued to erode.

Prices remain roughly 25% below their early-2022 peak, which is contributing to some homeowners holding off on selling into a softer market.

With supply tightening across every housing type and the market moving back into balanced territory, the conditions supporting greater price stability are increasingly taking shape.

Real estate headlines often focus on prices, but price alone doesn’t tell the full story.

Understanding the relationship between buyer activity and new inventory can provide valuable context around where the market may be heading — and what current conditions could mean for a buying or selling strategy.

The numbers are only the starting point. Neighbourhood trends, property type and local demand can all shape the bigger picture.

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

With the heat of the summer months the Greater Toronto Area housing market became more competitive in July compared to the same time last year. While home sales were only slightly lower, the number of new homes coming onto the market dropped significantly. With fewer homes available, buyers faced more competition, which could help stabilize home prices if this trend continues through the second half of the year.

There are also encouraging signs for the market. Although concerns about the economy and borrowing costs remain, recent reports on economic growth and employment have been stronger than expected. According to TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer, improving economic conditions could boost consumer confidence and lead to more home purchases in the coming months, particularly if prices remain stable heading into the fall.

In July the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board reported 5,995 home sales through the MLS System, a modest 0.9% decrease from July 2025. New listings that came to market this July totalled 14,484, down 17.8% year-over-year, giving buyers fewer properties to choose from.

Compared to June, July sales increased while new listings declined, continuing the trend toward a more balanced and competitive market.

The average selling price in July was $1,003,956, down 4.5% from a year ago. However, month-over-month basis, the MLS Home Price Index (HPI) showed a slight increase, suggesting home values may be beginning to stabilize despite the year-over-year decline in average prices.

Resale condominium sales remained flat compared to last year with 1564 sales and prices down a modest 2.3%.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, today's market presents opportunities for those who understand the current trends. As inventory tightens and buyer competition begins to increase, timing and strategy are becoming more important than ever. If you're considering making a move in 2026, let's connect.

Downsizing does not always mean giving something up.

Sometimes, it means choosing a home that better reflects current routines, priorities, and plans.

Unused rooms, ongoing maintenance, and changing lifestyle needs can all signal that a smaller, more manageable home may be worth considering.

The strongest downsizing decisions begin with a clear plan and enough time to explore the possibilities without pressure.

The right real estate professional can help create a clear downsizing plan for the next chapter of your life.

Freehold and condo ownership come with different costs, responsibilities and levels of control.

One important distinction: a condo is an ownership structure, not a building type. Apartments, townhouses and even detached homes can all be part of a condominium corporation.

Freehold ownership may offer greater independence and fewer restrictions, while condo ownership may provide shared maintenance, amenities and more predictable monthly expenses.

The better fit depends on budget, lifestyle and long-term priorities.

Condo demand is becoming increasingly concentrated at more affordable price points.

In June, 38% of condo sales were below $500,000, up from 21% a year ago, while units priced under $600,000 accounted for 64% of all condo activity.

At the same time, new condo starts have fallen to their lowest level since 1996, meaning the pipeline of new completions is expected to thin as the current wave winds down.

This creates a market where entry-level opportunities remain available today, while future supply conditions may become more constrained.

With condo conditions beginning to turn, this window of affordability, selection and negotiating flexibility may not remain open for long. Could now be the right time to make your move? Let’s talk strategy.

Buyer demand broadened across housing types and regions in June. Condo apartment sales led with a 14% year-over-year increase, followed by detached homes at 9% and semis, rows and towns at 4%.

Momentum was particularly strong for Toronto Central detached homes, where sales rose 29%, while condo sales increased 26% in Toronto West, 21% in Peel and 18% in York. These gains show that the market recovery is expanding across multiple segments, although overall activity remains below long-term levels.
