Toronto Moving Head First Into Buyer's Market


 


Toronto's housing market wrapped up 2025 with more inventory, softer price growth, and improved affordability for buyers…yet they still remain cautious and on the sidelines. Economic uncertainty and confidence in the market is low, creating a stale-mate for potential move-up buyers. The best priced listings with great marketing are selling, but longer time on the market is now the norm. Expect to see more listings in spring, not a flood of new buyers as in the past.

Market Trends and Observations:
Toronto's market remains technically balanced, but the direction of travel matters — and right now, momentum is tilting toward buyers. Months of Inventory has climbed to 5.75, up more than 1 full point in just three months, signaling a softening pace and longer decision cycles.
 
What This Means for You
For Buyers:
For buyers, leverage is quietly building. Rising inventory — especially in the condo market — is opening the door to firmer negotiations on both price and conditions, particularly on listings that have been sitting for 30 days or more. The data supports patience and discipline.
 
For Sellers: 
Strategy matters more than ever. Homes priced at or above recent summer comparables are sitting longer, while properties positioned 3–5% below recent highs are seeing the strongest activity in the critical first two weeks. The market is no longer rewarding “test the price” strategies.
It's also essential to recognize that not all segments are behaving the same. Freehold homes continue to show relative strength, with sellers maintaining some pricing power. Condos, however, have clearly shifted into buyer-favourable territory — and require a very different approach to pricing, timing, and expectations.
 
For Sellers:
Looking ahead, Spring 2026 will bring more listings, as it typically does, but meaningful price growth is unlikely in the near term. With inventory levels elevated and momentum continuing to build, the market could tip fully into buyer territory by early 2026. A more stable environment is more likely later in the year as seasonal demand returns.

GTA Housing: What The Slowdown
Means for YOU

The GTA real estate market is currently stalling rather than crashing. There is an obvious lack of momentum. Buyers are literally sitting on the sidelines while listings continue to increase. BUYER MENTALITY: "WHY ACT FAST WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH INVENTORY?" Buyers are hesitant due to fear of overpaying, leading to intense price pressure, especially for condos, as listings rise and sales decline.Here are the latest stats by Home Type:


-Over 12,000 active condos listings in the GTA-Roughly 1 in 10 selling month/over month-Detached and Townhome sales also falling (more notable in the 905 region)-If you are not priced 'best in category', be prepared to waitKEY MARKET IMPLICATIONS:

  • Intensifying Price Pressure: With more listings and fewer sales, sellers will likely face pressure to reduce prices, driven by buyer expectations.
  •  
  • Vulnerable Pre-Construction & Investor Segments: The new condo market is at a 30-year low in sales, with softening rents and falling resale values making investor-oriented projects unsustainable. Expect more assignments and potential developer delays or incentives.
  •  
  • Fragile Functionality: While deals are still happening, the market lacks direction. Liquidity exists only for sellers willing to discount and buyers confident enough to act, indicating an unhealthy balance.
  •  
  • Bank of Canada's Pivotal Role: Future interest rate decisions are critical. Rate cuts could stimulate demand by late summer or fall, but holding steady will prolong the current limbo, leading to longer days on market, more aggressive price reductions, and continued buyer hesitation.

The GTA Housing Market Just Took a U-Turn: GTA Listings Surge + Price Softening - Your Move?

The GTA real estate market in March 2025 saw a significant increase in new listings, providing more options for buyers. While sales were down year-over-year, prices have softened slightly, leading to improved affordability. However, economic uncertainty is causing some buyers to remain cautious. We are in a BALANCED MARKET (depending what area you are in!)

KEY MARCH STATISTICS GTA:

Here are some key statistics about the GTA real estate market in March 2025:

Sales Activity:

  • There were 5,011 home sales reported through TRREB's MLS® System in March 2025.
  • This represents a 23.1% decrease compared to the 6,519 sales in March 2024.
  • However, on a month-over-month basis (February 2025 to March 2025), sales were up by 24.1%.
  • This March recorded the slowest sales in over two decades.

New Listings:

  • The number of new listings in March 2025 amounted to 17,263.
  • This is a significant 28.6% increase compared to the 13,423 new listings in March 2024.
  • New listings also increased by 43% from February 2025.
  • March 2025 had the highest number of active listings for the month of March in 16 years.

Inventory:

  • Active listings at the end of March 2025 were significantly higher compared to the previous year, up by 88% year-over-year.
  • The sales-to-new listings ratio dropped to 36.6%, indicating a move into buyer's market territory.
  • The average days on market increased from 20 days in February 2025 to 24 days in March 2025.

Market Trends and Observations:

  • Despite improved affordability, some buyers are taking a "wait-and-see" approach due to broader economic uncertainty and the upcoming federal election.
  • The significant increase in new listings is providing buyers with more choices and greater negotiating power.
  • Different property types experienced varying price changes and sales activity. Detached homes remained the most expensive, while the condo market showed more accessible price points.
  • The market is shifting towards a more balanced state, with less of the rapid price increases and intense competition seen in previous years.

HEY RENTERS! It's YOUR TURN..... To all our rental clients keeping an eye on the market and wondering if there's ever a "right" time to buy—this might just be it.I get it. You’re probably thinking, “Real estate agents always say it’s a great time to buy.” But if you’ve been following the Armstrong Team for any length of time, you know we don’t say that lightly. When we tell you the time is right, we truly believe it. Here’s why:The condo market has been soft—especially for one-bedroom units.Right now, there’s a huge amount of inventory. In fact, across the downtown core—from Swansea to Leslieville—there are currently 560 one-bedroom condos for sale priced between $400,000 and $600,000. That’s a ton of choice for buyers. Surprised? So were we.March was slow for real estate.New listings jumped by more than 28%, while sales dropped by over 23%. That gap means more supply and less demand—something savvy buyers can take advantage of.Many buyers are still on the sidelines.Thanks to global uncertainty, a lot of people are waiting to see what happens next. But if you’re in a solid financial position, this creates a window of opportunity for you. Less competition means more room to negotiate and score a great deal.That said—if now isn’t the right time for you, that’s totally okay. We’re always happy to support your rental journey until the time is right. But if you’re ready to explore buying, let’s chat. We’ll guide you through every step.Does this sound like you?
