August brought a noticeable shift in the Greater Toronto Area housing market—homebuyer competition has eased considerably. Only 2% of neighborhoods saw homes sold above asking, while a substantial 79% of all listings closed below list price. This trend is particularly evident in single-family and condo markets: 95% of single-family neighborhoods and 98% of condo areas had homes selling under asking. As someone who’s guided clients through over 450 transactions, I see these numbers as a valuable signal for both buyers and sellers. Reduced competition creates opportunities for those looking to enter the market or make strategic moves. Insights like these are part of how I help clients navigate changing conditions with clarity and confidence.
