🏡📊 GTA REALTORS ® Release April Stats

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 5, 2026 – Home sales increased on a year-over-year basis in April 2026, while the supply of listings trended lower. This suggests that overall market conditions in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) tightened during the first full month of spring. Despite tighter market conditions, selling prices edged lower on average compared to last year, as buyers continued to benefit from ample choice and negotiating power.

“We have experienced an uptick in home buying activity so far this spring. Buyers have taken advantage of more affordable housing market conditions on the back of lower home prices. If market conditions continue to tighten and home prices level off, this could be a signal to intending homebuyers who remain on the sidelines,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Lower home prices and borrowing costs over the past year have been a catalyst for some homebuyers this spring. However, we still have a substantial amount of pent-up demand in the marketplace. More certainty on the trade front and an easing in geopolitical tensions would result in further improvements in market activity,” said TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

GTA REALTORS® reported 5,946 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in April 2026 – an increase of seven % compared to April 2025. New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 17,097– down by 9.3 % year- over-year.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, April 2026 home sales and new listings were up month-over-month compared to March 2026. Sales were up by a greater monthly rate than new listings, potentially suggesting more competition between buyers in some neighbourhoods.

The MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) Composite benchmark was down by 6.6 % year-over-year in April 2026. The average selling price, at $1,051,969, was down by 4.9 % compared to April 2025.

On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis the average selling price edged up compared to March 2026. The MLS® HPI Composite was flat over the same period.

“We recently released a major new housing policy report, ‘Removing Roadblocks: Tackling Municipal Barriers to Housing Supply and Affordability in Ontario,’ outlining the next phase of provincial housing policy reforms needed to build more of the right types of homes and improve affordability for Ontarians. While historic progress has been made, we must continue the work of removing the decades of legislative and regulatory red tape, ... READ MORE ON MY WEBSITE

🏡📊 GTA REALTORS ® Release March Stats

TORONTO, ONTARIO, April 7, 2026 – Greater Toronto Area (GTA) resale housing market conditions tightened in March 2026 in comparison to last year. Sales were up year-over-year, while new listings were down. Selling prices were lower compared to March 2025 helping with affordability moving into the spring market.

“It’s encouraging to see an uptick in March home sales compared to last month and last year. This suggests that an increasing number of GTA households are looking to take advantage of improved affordability as we move into the spring market. Positive news on trade and geopolitical issues would help improve consumer confidence and home sales in the months ahead,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.

“Buyers continued to benefit from substantial negotiating power on price across major market segments in the last month. This explains why benchmark and average selling prices were down year-over-year. However, if market conditions continue to tighten, as they did in March, selling prices could start levelling off as we move through the remainder of 2026,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis selling prices remained relatively flat, with the MLS® HPI Composite edging down and the average selling price edging up compared to February 2026.

“The GTA housing supply pipeline is in danger of running dry in the medium-to-long term. The federal and provincial governments announcements on HST and development charge relief were important affordability policy initiatives designed to spur new home sales and construction. It will be important to ensure that the right types of homes are built, namely ‘missing middle’ home types bridging the gap between condos and traditional single-... READ MORE ON MY WEBSITE
