The Greater Toronto Area real estate market is sending mixed signals. According to the latest report from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), average home prices dipped 4.6% year-over-year in May to $1.06 million.

While buyer negotiating power remains strong due to a 37% sales-to-new-listings ratio, the consistent month-over-month price growth since January suggests we may be nearing a turning point. As inventory is absorbed and sales improve, experts anticipate a potential shift toward price stabilization or growth by 2027.
