The Bank of Canada has held its policy rate at 2.25% once again.

While there was no change to the rate, the economic conditions behind the decision continue to shift. Inflation, energy prices and ongoing trade uncertainty remain important factors, alongside signs that the Canadian economy is beginning to recover.

For homeowners, buyers and sellers, a steady interest rate doesn’t necessarily mean a steady real estate market. Inventory, pricing, mortgage rates and buyer confidence all continue to influence what we’re seeing across the GTA.

Rather than waiting for the next announcement, it’s worth looking at what today’s conditions mean for your own plans. If you’re considering buying or selling, I’m always happy to have a conversation and help you understand your options.

📊 EAST YORK STAT CHAT | AUGUST 17–23, 2026

August is traditionally one of the quieter months in real estate, much like December and January. But that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities for buyers and sellers.

Looking at the first three weeks of August in E03:
• Active Listings: 132, up 18% from 2025
• Sales: 27, compared with 26 last year
• Sale-to-List Ratio: 100%
• Days on Market: 32
• Average Price: $1,153,722, compared with $1,143,911 last year
• Months of Inventory: 3.30, compared with 2.95

The average price is remarkably stable year-over-year, even with the usual summer slowdown.

There's also an interesting seasonal pattern in the data. August and January tend to have the lowest average prices, while September, May and June typically see the highest average prices.

Of course, seasonal patterns are just one piece of the puzzle. Local inventory, property type, price range and buyer demand all matter when you're making a real estate decision.

📈 The charts are available through the LinkTree in our bio if you'd like to take a closer look.

And be sure to check back next week for another Stat Chat.

📊 EAST YORK STAT CHAT | JULY 2026 RESULTS

July's numbers are down from last year, but there's more to the story than the headline average price.

July 2026 vs. July 2025:
• Sales: 62 vs. 74 (down 16.2%)
• Average Price: $1,086,847 vs. $1,188,042 (down 8.5%)
• Active Listings: 161 vs. 164 (down just 1.8%)
• Sale-to-List Ratio: 102%
• Days on Market: 21 vs. 18
• Months of Inventory: 2.60 vs. 2.22
• New Listings: 110 vs. 125 (down 12%)

At first glance, that 8.5% drop in average price might sound alarming. But the composition of the sales matters.

Last July, East York had 9 sales between $1.5–2M, 4 between $2–3M and 1 over $3M.
This July, there were just 5, 2 and zero, respectively.

In other words, fewer higher-end properties sold, which naturally pulled down the overall average.

And THIS is where market knowledge matters. The numbers aren't just numbers — we need to understand what's behind them.

From my perspective, pricing is currently creating some very interesting opportunities for buyers. There are properties on the market where the value proposition is significantly better than it was a year or two ago.

We're also seeing encouraging economic signals. Approximately 75,000 jobs were added last month, although employment improvements can take 12–18 months to work their way into housing decisions.

🏠 Looking for an example? 37 Chilton Road is one property worth watching. You'll find the LinkTree in our bio.

The market feels like it's moving into a rebound frame of mind. If you're thinking about making a move, this is a market worth paying attention to.

📊 East York Stat Chat | July 20–26, 2026

As we settle into the summer market, we're seeing the seasonal slowdown that typically arrives every year.

Here's how East York (E03) compared to the same week last year:
• New Listings: 26
• Sold: 12 (up 20%)
• Active Listings: 151 (down 2.6%)
• Sale-to-List Ratio: 99%
• Days on Market: 36
• Months of Inventory: 2.85

One of the questions I get asked most often is, "When is the best time to buy or sell?"

Historically, August, December, and January tend to have the fewest sales and often the lowest average prices. For buyers, August can be a great opportunity with less competition. For sellers who have flexibility, waiting until the second or third week of September often means more buyers are back in the market.

Looking at the broader GTA, there are some positive signs:
• Sales have increased for five consecutive months.
• Months of Inventory has fallen every month this year, from 5.83 in January to 4.04, showing that supply and demand are becoming more balanced.

📍 Community reminders:
• Visit the Evergreen Brick Works Farmers Market this Saturday.
• The City swimming pool at Leaside Park is a great way to cool off this summer.
