Toronto Home Prices and Affordability Improve
Lower home prices in Toronto combined with reduced borrowing costs have significantly improved housing affordability across the GTA. This enhanced affordability is enabling more households to access homeownership opportunities, contributing to the sustained sales growth.
The current inventory level of under five months indicates Toronto sellers market conditions are emerging, representing a notable shift from previous market dynamics.
Condo Market Toronto Shows Resilience
The Toronto condo market demonstrated steady performance with 1,576 sales in July 2025:
4.4% monthly increase from June 2025
6.3% growth compared to July 2024
Condo prices down 9.4% year-over-year due to increased new construction deliveries
Economic Impact and Interest Rate Outlook
According to TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer, the Canadian housing market can serve as a catalyst for economic growth amid trade uncertainties with the United States. Further interest rate cuts could stimulate additional home sales and generate positive economic spillover effects, supporting job growth and regional economic development.
Market Tightening Indicates Balanced Conditions Ahead
With sales growth outpacing new listing increases, GTA market conditions are tightening. New listings rose modestly compared to June, while the sales-to-listings ratio improvement suggests the market is transitioning toward more balanced conditions.
Toronto Housing Market Forecast
The combination of improved affordability, steady sales growth, and tightening inventory levels positions the GTA real estate market for continued recovery through 2025. The housing sector's potential as an economic catalyst, supported by potential interest rate reductions, could drive further market strengthening.
