📊 Toronto Market Update – February 2025

Toronto’s housing market had a slow start to 2025, with home sales down more than 25% compared to last year. Meanwhile, new listings increased by 5.4%, contributing to one of the highest inventory levels in years.

📊 Toronto Market Update – February 2025

Key Market Trends:

✅ More Listings, Fewer Buyers – In general, buyers now have more negotiating power, but conditions vary by housing type and neighbourhood.

✅ Economic Uncertainty & Affordability – Some buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach due to ongoing economic uncertainty and borrowing costs that are still too high.

✅ Prices Holding, But Some Segments Are Struggling – While average selling prices dipped just 2% year over year, small condos remain weak, while well-priced low-rise homes in desirable neighbourhoods continue to see competition.

What This Means for You

Toronto’s real estate market is highly segmented. Some areas and property types are seeing rising inventory and fewer buyers, while well-priced homes in prime locations are still attracting multiple offers.

Uncertainty around the economy and interest rates has some buyers holding off, but growing inventory and potential rate cuts could create opportunities.

📌 Bottom line?
Success in this market depends on strategy. Whether buying or selling, understanding your segment is key.
