The Toronto real estate market is showing a paradoxical trend: while sales activity has climbed for three consecutive months\u2014reaching 5,364 transactions in May\u2014home prices remain in a downward slide. According to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), sales are up 14 per cent year-over-year, yet the market remains ‘skittish.’<\/p>\n

Despite a 2.1 per cent dip in new listings, which typically fuels competition, the benchmark price dropped 0.2 per cent to $927,800. The cooling is most pronounced in the regions surrounding Toronto, with York and Peel seeing significant year-over-year price declines of 9.5 per cent and 7.6 per cent, respectively. Notably, the condo sector is facing the most pressure as an abundance of supply hits the market. With typical home prices now 32.6 per cent below the 2022 peak, buyers currently hold the leverage.
