“Inventory levels trended lower over the past year, but buyers continued to have substantial negotiating power through the spring, helping with affordability. Looking ahead, if sales strengthen further relative to listings, selling prices will level off and even start to grow as we move into 2027, said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

We track MLS sales daily.

  • November 2016 to May 30th 2017, 90% of central district properties sold over asking price.
  • May 2026 20-45% of central district properties sold for over asking price daily. (Based on district.)

(Central districts cover the Lake to York Mills, and the Humber River to Victoria Park.)

The May residential resale market was dificult and mixed.

  • Some properties remain unsold after months or even two years.
  • Some under priced or reasonably priced homes sold in "bidding wars".
  • The condominium yearly price comparsion shows a decrease of 6%.
  • TRREB president David Steinfeld forecasts sales to improve further.
