New data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) suggests the GTA is shifting toward a \u2018balanced\u2019 market, a state not seen since 2019. With July home sales holding steady and new listings dropping by 18 per cent, the extreme buyer-centric conditions of early 2026 are fading.<\/p>\n<p>Average prices have cooled significantly from the 2022 peak of $1,334,544, landing at $1,003,956 in July\u2014a 4.5 per cent year-over-year decline. Industry experts note that both buyers and sellers are moving away from the &#8216;all or nothing&#8217; mentality, with negotiations becoming more collaborative. While the condo segment remains buyer-driven, the freehold market is finding its middle ground.
