Market Recovery Remains Gradual in September

The 12-month rolling sales total shows that the recovery in sales activity has been gradual. At 79,302 homes, the annual rate of sales has increased by only 2.4% since reaching its bottom in May 2018. Activity remained 31% below its peak of 115, 620 sales in April 2017 and also 12%below the 10-year average rate of 90,564 sales. In fact, the last time annual sales were below 80,000 homes was during the economic recession period in 2009. Against the backdrop of a strong local economy and fast-growing population, pent-up demand for housing purchases is accumulating in the GTA as the market rebalances following the excessive growth last year and new mortgage rules this year.

Home buyers continued to benefit from substantial choice in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) resale market in February 2025. Home sales last month were down in comparison to the same period last year, while listing inventory remained high, providing substantial negotiating power for homebuyers. “Many households in the GTA are eager to purchase a home, but current mortgage rates make it difficult for the average household income to comfortably cover monthly payments on a typical property. Fortunately, we anticipate a decline in borrowing costs in the coming months, which should improve affordability,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “On top of lingering affordability concerns, home buyers have arguably become less confident in the economy.
