According to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), July saw a sharp 17.8% year-over-year decline in new listings, tightening supply significantly.

This tightening environment suggests that buyers may soon face less room to negotiate as inventory levels drop. Despite the supply crunch, average selling prices remain under pressure, currently sitting at $1,003,956\u2014a 4.5% decline from last year.
