Market Update August 2025

I hope this note finds you well and enjoying the summer!

I wanted to take a moment to share some fresh insights from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board’s just-released July 2025 Market Watch report. The market continues to show signs of renewed activity, offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Here are some key highlights:

- Sales activity rose by 10.9% compared to July 2024 - the best July performance since 2021.

- Average selling price across the GTA was $1,051,719, down 5.5% year-over-year, offering improved affordability.

- New listings were up 5.7%, while the pace of sales increased faster than listings, slightly tightening overall market conditions.

- Detached and semi-detached homes in the 905 area led the way in volume, showing the strongest price resilience.

- Buyers continue to benefit from lower borrowing costs and adjusted prices, presenting a more approachable path to homeownership.

As we move toward the fall market, we may see more activity - especially if interest rates continue to ease. Whether you're curious about your home's value, considering an investment, or simply want to stay informed, I'm here to help.

Never too busy for your referrals.

July Real Estate Market Update: Clanton Park & Bathurst Manor

Summer is usually a time when things cool down in the real estate world - but this July, our neighbourhoods stayed active and full of movement. From higher listing volumes to more stable sales numbers, there’s a lot to unpack.

Let’s break down what happened in Clanton Park and Bathurst Manor during the month of July:

📍 Clanton Park

We saw 18 active listings in July, which is quite high for the area. Typically, we don’t see numbers like that, so this marks a notable uptick in inventory.

Despite the increase, the market stayed strong with 9 sales, putting us at 2 months of inventory. That’s a big shift from the 6–7 months of inventory we were seeing just a month earlier, highlighting how quickly things can change.

Key Stats:

Average Days on Market (DOM): 32 days
Average Sale Price: $1.7 million
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 93%

While homes are still selling below asking on average, we’re seeing consistent movement - especially for bungalows, splits, and smaller two-storey homes. It’s clear that even with more listings, buyers are still actively engaged.

📍 Bathurst Manor

In contrast, Bathurst Manor saw a bit more of a typical summer slowdown. We had 26 active listings but only 5 sales, which brings us to 5.2 months of inventory - a more balanced market leaning toward the slower side.

Key Stats:

Average Days on Market (DOM): 23 days
Average Sale Price: $1.4 million
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 94%

Homes are still moving, but the pace is more measured, and sellers should be prepared for longer timelines and more negotiation.

Final Thoughts

The headlines might suggest uncertainty in the market, but when we zoom in locally, the story is more balanced. Clanton Park is showing strong demand despite higher inventory, while Bathurst Manor is reflecting the slower rhythm of summer.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, it's important to understand what’s really happening on your street - not just what’s in the news.

Why Is Toronto Real Estate So Expensive?

1. Supply and Demand

At the heart of it all is a simple economic principle: supply and demand. Toronto is one of the fastest-growing cities in North America, with more people wanting to live here than there are homes available. When demand outpaces supply, prices naturally rise.

Even as new condos and developments go up, the rate of new housing isn’t keeping up with the number of people looking to buy or rent.

2. Immigration and Population Growth

Canada has a strong immigration policy, and Toronto is the top destination for many newcomers. People are drawn here for job opportunities, education, diversity, and safety. In fact, over 100,000 people move to the GTA each year.

That growing population puts pressure on the housing market. More people = more demand = higher prices.

3. Toronto Is Becoming a Vertical City

Because of land constraints (more on that below), Toronto is growing up rather than out. Condominiums have become the dominant form of new housing, especially downtown.

While this adds supply, condos often serve different needs than detached homes, which remain limited and increasingly rare, driving up their prices even more.

4. We’re Running Out of Land

Toronto may seem big, but there’s only so much land available for new homes. Detached homes, townhomes, and even mid-rise buildings are competing for limited space.

This situation is similar to what cities like New York have faced, being on an island limits how far they can grow. That scarcity of land adds value to what already exists.

5. Greenbelt Protection Limits Expansion

Adding to the challenge, Toronto is bordered by Ontario’s protected Greenbelt. This environmental policy prevents urban sprawl by preserving natural areas, farmland, and forests.

While it’s crucial for sustainability, it also restricts how far the city can expand. So, just like Manhattan had to build upward and adapt to limited space, Toronto faces similar constraints that keep prices elevated.

Final Thoughts

Toronto’s real estate market is shaped by a unique combination of factors: relentless demand, limited supply, consistent immigration, vertical development, and land restrictions. All of these contribute to what we’re seeing in today’s prices.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, it’s more important than ever to understand the landscape and to work with someone who knows it well.

Market Update July 2025

Summer is finally here!!!!. The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) just released their June 2025 market update and I wanted to share a few thoughts, insights, and opportunities with you.

The GTA housing market continues to show signs of recovery. While home sales in June were down slightly year-over-year (by 2.4%), activity is trending upward month-over-month. More listings mean more choice for buyers, and softening prices - down 5.4% from last June - are helping improve affordability. Combined with lower borrowing costs compared to last year, many households are finding this a good time to re-enter the market or make their first move.

Opportunities for Buyers and Sellers

· Buyers: With increased inventory and negotiable prices, now is a strategic time to secure a home at a better value before competition heats up again!

· Sellers: The right pricing strategy is key. Homes that show well and are priced appropriately are still selling, often with strong buyer interest due to improved affordability. Yes, the price you get might not be what it was a year or two ago, but neither is the house you will buy when you sell yours!

· Investors: Condominiums remain as a great investment opportunity, call me and let’s discuss if now might be a great time for you to build or add to your investment portfolio!

Looking Ahead

Despite short-term fluctuations, the long-term fundamentals of GTA real estate remain strong: continued population growth, limited housing supply, and infrastructure investment. Let’s face it, Toronto is a great city that will continue to grow and expand and real estate will always be a resilient long-term asset.

If you're thinking about making a move - or just want to chat about what these changes mean for you - call me, after all, you have a friend in real estate.

Have a great July,

Market Update June 2025

I hope this message finds you well and you are enjoying the start of summer.

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) has just released its Market Watch report for May 2025, and I wanted to keep you informed on what’s happening in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market.

Active listings have climbed to 30,964, giving buyers more choice than we've seen in years. Meanwhile, the average sale price is down 4% from this time last year, sitting at $1,120,879. This, combined with lower interest rates, means affordability has noticeably improved - especially for first-time buyers, who are starting to re-enter the market.

We're also seeing strong activity in properties priced under $1 million, with many attracting multiple offers. For those looking to trade up to a larger home or move to a more desirable neighbourhood, this is an excellent time. The gap between what you sell for and what you buy for is currently very favorable, creating real value in making a move now.

From an investment standpoint, existing condo units are once again catching attention. With a 25-35% down payment, many of these units are now cash-flow positive, making them a solid addition to a long-term portfolio.

While uncertainty remains around global economic factors - such as the Trump tariffs - we remain optimistic that clarity will come in the months ahead. That said, no one can perfectly time the market. A home is more than an investment - it’s where you live, grow, and build memories.

Despite the ups and downs, the long-term fundamentals for real estate in the Toronto area remain very strong. If you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just want to chat about your options, I’m always here to help.

Have a great June!

Your Friend in Real Estate.

Market Update May2025

hope this note finds you well. I’m reaching out with a quick update and some insights on the April 2025 real estate market results, recently released by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB).

The market continues to move at an active but slower pace this spring, with fewer active buyers and a greater number of homes available for sale across the GTA. Uncertainty tied to the Trump tariff situation has led some buyers to take a wait-and-see approach.

But underneath the headlines, real opportunity exists. Affordability is showing signs of improvement, thanks to lower mortgage rates compared to last year and home prices that have moderated significantly since the 2022 peak. It’s now been three years since interest rate hikes began, and with inflation no longer a concern in Canada, we are settling into a more balanced market.

This is a great time for buyers and investors. Condo prices, in particular, are at attractive levels - creating a strong opportunity to purchase an investment property in the city with long-term growth potential and good rental demand. It’s also an ideal time for homeowners considering a move up: with less competition and more inventory, it may be possible to sell your current home and upgrade into something larger or in a preferred neighbourhood with more favorable terms.

If you're wondering what this means for you - or for someone you know, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to share more about the opportunities available in today’s market.

Feel free to contact me anytime - I’m always here to help.

Have a great May!

April 2025 Real Estate Market Update - Clanton Park & Bathurst Manor

Can you believe we’re already in May? April flew by, and with it came some interesting developments in our local real estate market. If you're thinking about buying or selling, understanding these trends is key—and this month's numbers are definitely worth a closer look.

Let’s break it down:

📍 Clanton Park - April Snapshot:

What does this mean? All 4 sales were on smaller, original-condition homes and each had competition—selling fast and over asking. But active listings are creeping up, which means more choice and potentially more negotiation room for buyers.

📍 Bathurst Manor - April Snapshot:

Here we’re seeing a slower pace. Homes are sitting longer, and buyers are negotiating more. We're shifting into a balanced market, especially for homes that aren’t priced or prepared properly.
