Toronto home prices have edged just under the $1M mark, with the average sale price now around $993K—about 3% lower than this time last year. This shift has helped make homeownership a bit more accessible for many buyers. However, inventory is tightening: new listings have dropped by approximately 14% to 12,100, meaning there are fewer homes on the market and less variety for buyers to choose from. In the same period, just over 5,000 sales were reported—a slight 2% decrease year-over-year—so reduced selection is already making competition a little fiercer and could help stabilize prices.
From my experience working across Toronto and the surrounding regions, I’ve noticed how flat mortgage rates and some positive economic news have been encouraging for buyers, but uncertainty around trade, inflation, and borrowing costs is still making some households cautious. If inventory continues to shrink and prices begin to rise again, we may see buyers moving more quickly to secure properties, while sellers might be motivated to list, improving choice for everyone. Navigating these changing conditions is all about timely decisions—which is where experience and local knowledge truly make a difference.
