City of Toronto Launches AI Pre-Check with Clariti to Speed Up Housing Approvals
Exciting news for Toronto's housing market: the city has rolled out an AI-powered Building Permit Application Pre-Check in partnership with Clariti. This tool gives real-time feedback on missing documents and code issues during the permit application process, helping streamline approvals for new residential builds. As someone passionate about helping families and individuals find their perfect home, I see this as a positive step towards Toronto’s ambitious goal of 285,000 new homes by 2031. Making the approval process more efficient means more opportunities for buyers and sellers across Ontario—another reason I’m proud to be "Your Realtor For Life."

Toronto Home Prices Offer More Affordable Options Again
In August 2026, the Greater Toronto Area saw average home prices dip below $1 million for just the second time this year. Detached homes came in at $1.29M, semis at $932K, townhouses at $787K, and condos at $618K. Sales were down 2.1% and prices dropped 2.7%, while new listings decreased by 14.1%. As "Your Realtor For Life" with RE/MAX PREMIER INC., I always keep a close eye on these shifts to help my Ontario clients navigate every market turn with confidence. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding these numbers is key to making informed decisions about your next move.

Canada Housing Just Got More Interesting
There’s a fresh sense of momentum in Canada’s housing market, but it’s clear that many buyers are still proceeding with care. Even as we see sales picking up, overall activity hasn’t quite reached where we were last year. What’s notable right now is that new listings are actually on the decline, while sales are improving—slowly moving us toward a more balanced landscape between supply and demand. For those of you navigating Ontario’s market, this means home prices are growing at a measured pace, adding a layer of stability and sidestepping the steep corrections some predicted. Regional trends continue to play a big role, so choosing the right area is more important than ever whether you’re buying or selling. As "Your Realtor For Life," I’m always here to help you interpret these shifts and make informed decisions in Ontario’s ever-evolving real estate scene.

Canada’s Affordability Streak Hits 10 Quarters
Canada has now seen 10 straight quarters where affordability has remained a challenge—a trend I’ve been following closely as your Realtor For Life. With mortgage rates expected to hold steady or even rise slightly over the next year, the focus is shifting to home prices and income growth as key factors affecting buyers and sellers. Slower population growth may help ease housing demand and stabilize prices, while a stronger labour market should continue to support household incomes. It’s important to remember that each market tells a unique story: what’s happening in Vancouver and Toronto can look very different from Calgary or Edmonton. Here in Ontario, I see firsthand how these shifts play out for my clients. Economists caution that, unless we see a meaningful slowdown in home price growth, any improvements in affordability will likely be gradual. I stay on top of these trends so you have the insights you need to navigate your next move with confidence.

Ontario new home sales jump 130 percent after enhanced HST rebate, but condo market still lags
Ontario’s new home market saw a dramatic 130% increase in sales during Q2, reaching 8,410 units—fueled by the recent HST rebate, which has given a real boost to low-rise housing. While condo sales did rise 12%, they’re still well below the usual pace, and challenges like high development fees, project delays, and zoning hurdles continue to temper overall growth. As someone who guides clients through Ontario’s residential real estate landscape every day, I’m always keeping an eye on these trends to help you make informed decisions. It’s all part of being "Your Realtor For Life."

Ontario Tax Relief Spurs New Homes
Ontario’s latest tax relief measures are beginning to change the landscape for new homebuyers. With taxes and government charges accounting for about 36% of a new home’s cost—more than a third going beyond just building expenses—it’s no surprise affordability has been a concern. Development charges alone have often surpassed $100,000 per single-family home in many areas, sometimes pushing the total extra costs up to $200,000. Recently, a joint federal-provincial program has allowed municipalities to secure funding if they reduce residential development charges by at least 30% to 50% and keep those reductions for three years. The impact is already visible: following the HST reduction, Ontario saw 8,400 new home sales in the first three months, compared to just 3,600 in the same period previously. As someone dedicated to helping clients navigate Ontario’s real estate market, I’ve seen how these shifts can make a real difference. Making the HST rebate and lower development charges permanent could offer the clarity buyers, builders, and municipalities need—opening new doors for affordability and supply. That’s something I’m always excited to see as Your Realtor For Life.

Ontario New Housing Shows Optimism
There’s a sense of optimism building in Ontario’s new housing market. We’ve seen government action spark a rise in home sales and growing momentum in both proposed and enrolled new builds—an encouraging sign for anyone watching construction plans closely. As a Realtor focused on guiding clients through Ontario’s residential landscape, I know that enrolment activity is a key early indicator: builders qualify homes, then enrol them right before construction begins.

That said, the broader economic picture and our housing market are still fragile. Residential real estate insolvencies remain higher than usual, which is an important reminder for buyers to proceed with care. One way Ontario buyers of new freehold homes can protect themselves is by signing up for deposit protection within 45 days—this unlocks coverage up to $100,000 and provides earlier access to warranty guidance.

Looking ahead, there’s reason to be hopeful for a stronger rebound and more quality, affordable homes on the horizon, with buyer protections staying front and centre. As "Your Realtor For Life," I’m always here to help you navigate these changes and stay informed.

Home affordability improves in 10 of 13 Canadian cities in July
July brought some relief on the home affordability front, with 10 out of 13 major Canadian cities seeing improvements. This positive shift is largely thanks to declining home prices, and Vancouver experienced the biggest drop in income needed to purchase. Mortgage rates eased slightly as well, and it’s encouraging to note that discounted fixed-rate options under 4% are still out there. As someone dedicated to guiding clients through every step of their real estate journey, I keep a close watch on these trends to help you make informed decisions in Ontario’s evolving market.

Toronto Starts Fall Short of Target
Noticing a shift in Toronto’s housing market: housing starts are down 10% compared to last year. This points to a slowdown in construction activity across the city’s core. Right now, there are 37 building permits in the pipeline, connected to 6,600 condo apartment units where construction hasn’t yet kicked off. Even so, many of these projects may still move forward, since pre-sales likely took place well before this recent dip in sales activity. It’s important to remember that housing-start numbers can be a step behind what’s actually happening, since major Toronto developments move from planning to pre-sales, then permits, and only then into actual construction. So, while current stats may look subdued, there’s a good chance that as these permitted condo units move through the process, we’ll see more activity break ground ahead. As "Your Realtor For Life," I’m always keeping an eye on these trends to help you stay informed about what’s next in our evolving market.
