“Is the GTA Now a Buyer’s Market? What TRREB Data Reveals — and How Smart Buyers Can Take Advantage”

Market Snapshot

Based on recent data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the GTA has shifted into clear buyer-leaning territory.

• Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) has hovered near or below 40%, the threshold that traditionally signals a buyers’ market.

• Inventory has risen across multiple segments, giving buyers more choice and negotiation power.

• Average GTA sale prices year-over-year have shown notable softening, especially in detached and condo categories.

Why This Matters for Buyers

• More listings = more leverage

• Less competition = fewer bidding wars

• Softening prices = better value entry points

• Longer DOM = stronger negotiation power

Ideal Opportunities Right Now

• Luxury estates that have been on the market 60+ days

• Waterfront & Harbourfront condos

• King, Vaughan, Aurora luxury segment where inventory is higher

• Downsizer-friendly townhomes & bungalow-style homes

What Buyers Should Do Now

1. Get rate-locked with your lender (BoC rate cuts open opportunity).

2. Seek value-based pricing (properties with long DOM often adjust).

3. Explore micro-markets — the best “deals” are hyper-local.

4. Partner with a data-driven agent who understands market fragmentation.
