Halton Region’s housing market in October 2025 is experiencing a significant structural shift, much like the rest of the GTA, but with a distinctly Halton-style pattern. As one of the most desirable and high-performing regions in Ontario, Halton is known for its strong schools, clean and safe communities, newer housing stock, and high household incomes. For nearly a decade, Halton has been one of the GTA’s most competitive markets — especially in premium cities like Oakville and Burlington. But the October 2025 data confirms a clear trend: Halton has now fully transitioned into a balanced-to-buyer-leaning real estate environment.

The broader GTA recorded 6,138 home sales in October 2025, a 9.5% year-over-year decline, while 16,069 new listings entered the market, a 2.7% increase from 2024. The average GTA home price fell to $1,054,372, approximately 7% lower compared to last year. Halton Region mirrors these numbers but with unique variations based on city, home type, and demographic patterns. Larger and more expensive freeholds in Oakville and parts of Burlington show the most pronounced slowdown. Meanwhile, Milton and Georgetown demonstrate more affordability-driven resilience.

Interest rates also influence Halton’s performance. The Bank of Canada’s October rate cut to 2.25% has offered some relief, but cautious buyer sentiment remains strong. Inflation near 2.4%, softer economic growth, and high household expenses have contributed to longer Days on Market (DOM) and increased negotiation. Homes that once sold in under two weeks now take over a month or longer to move. Sellers must adjust expectations, while buyers finally enjoy breathing room.

Halton Region includes four main municipalities — Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Halton Hills — each with distinct behavior patterns. Together, they paint a detailed picture of a region that remains fundamentally strong but is no longer defined by frantic bidding wars or runaway price growth.

Halton Region Market Snapshot – October 2025

Across the region, the October data reflects:

• Slower sales compared to fall 2024
• Higher inventory, especially in freehold segments
• DOM expanding significantly across all price ranges
• Moderate price adjustments in line with the GTA-wide declines
• Buyers reintroducing conditions, negotiations, and second showings
• Sellers needing strong marketing to stand out

Typical Halton DOM in October 2025:

• Detached: 45–85 days
• Semi-detached: 20–40 days
• Townhomes: 25–50 days
• Condos: 30–55 days

Halton continues to attract high-income families, professionals, and international buyers, but affordability remains a barrier for many, especially in Oakville. As a result, buyer activity has moved deeper into Milton and Georgetown, where housing remains relatively more accessible.

Detached Homes in Halton Region

Detached homes dominate Halton’s real estate landscape and show the clearest signs of a market cooldown. With higher borrowing costs and larger average home sizes, detached homes face strong affordability pressures.

Key detached trends in Halton:

• DOM: 45–85+ days depending on location
• Price adjustments aligned with GTA-wide –5% to –7% YoY range
• Homes over $2M in Oakville, Burlington, and north Halton experiencing slowest absorption
• Newer detached homes in Milton and Georgetown performing more steadily
• Fully renovated homes still attract buyers, but without bidding-war conditions

In Oakville, detached homes priced between $2M and $3.5M are seeing a noticeable slowdown. Properties in older neighborhoods with larger lots such as Morrison, Eastlake, River Oaks, and Glen Abbey often remain on the market for extended periods unless priced aggressively.

Burlington shows similar patterns, particularly in neighborhoods like Shoreacres, Roseland, and Alton Village. Buyers in Burlington are now demanding value, updated interiors, and functional layouts before committing.

Milton remains more balanced due to affordability relative to other Halton cities. Detached homes in subdivisions like Harrison, Ford, Beaty, and Clarke show steady but slower turnover.

Georgetown and Acton attract families seeking more space at an accessible price point. Detached homes here still move, but slower than in previous years, with typical DOM around 40–70 days.

Semi-Detached Homes in Halton Region

Semi-detached homes remain one of Halton’s most consistent and resilient market segments. These properties offer a middle ground between affordability and space, making them popular among young families and first-time homebuyers.

Semi-detached behavior:

• DOM: 20–40 days
• Price adjustments mild relative to detached homes
• Strongest demand in Milton and Georgetown
• More limited supply in Oakville and Burlington supports stability

Milton’s semis — particularly in Clarke, Dempsey, and Beaty — continue to attract consistent activity due to affordability and transit access. Georgetown semis in areas like Trafalgar Country, Stewart MacLaren, and Georgetown South remain in demand as well.

Semis in Oakville and Burlington are scarce due to older zoning patterns, which contributes to faster absorption for well-priced listings.

Townhomes in Halton Region

Townhomes provide Halton’s most balanced blend of affordability, space, and location. Both freehold and condo townhomes remain popular in all Halton cities.

Townhome trends:

• DOM: 25–50 days
• Price adjustments moderate
• Fastest absorption in Oakville’s newer communities and Milton’s family zones
• Strong investor interest in Milton townhomes due to rental stability

Oakville’s three-story freehold towns in River Oaks, Glenorchy, and West Oak Trails continue to attract strong attention. Burlington’s townhomes in Alton Village, Tansley, and Brant Hills perform consistently due to good schools and family amenities.

Milton remains the region’s townhome powerhouse. Freehold townhomes in Willmott, Harrison, Coates, and Clarke show some of the strongest family demand in all of Halton.

Georgetown’s townhomes near the GO Station and Trafalgar corridor also see healthy interest.

Condo Market in Halton Region

Though historically freehold-dominated, Halton’s condo sector has grown rapidly, especially in Milton and Oakville. Condos appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors.

Condo trends:

• DOM: 30–55 days
• Price adjustments: generally –4% to –6% YoY
• Newer Oakville mid-rise buildings performing well
• High absorption around Glenorchy and Midtown Oakville
• Milton condos seeing consistent first-time buyer activity

Oakville’s Lakeshore West condos continue to draw downsizers, though at a slower pace than peak years. Milton’s condo market remains one of the GTA’s most stable entry-level segments.

Halton Region City-by-City Breakdown

Oakville

Oakville remains Halton’s premium market, but October 2025 highlights reduced buyer urgency. Detached homes often require 60–90 days to sell unless well-priced. Townhomes and condos show better balance. Neighborhoods such as Glen Abbey, West Oak Trails, Uptown Core, and Kerr Village continue to attract steady interest.

Burlington

Burlington shows similar patterns as Oakville but with slightly stronger demand in mid-priced detached homes. The $1.2M–$1.6M range remains active, while higher price points slow. Condos along the Lakeshore remain desirable but are no longer seeing immediate offers.

Milton

Milton remains one of the strongest-performing markets in Halton. Semi-detached, townhomes, and entry-level detached homes continue steady activity. Milton’s affordability, newer neighborhoods, and family amenities keep demand resilient, though conditions remain balanced.

Halton Hills (Georgetown & Acton)

Georgetown shows balanced activity with typical DOM between 35–60 days for freeholds. Acton offers strong affordability and consistent demand in the sub-$1M range. Detached homes require competitive pricing to attract buyers.

Investor Behavior in Halton Region

Investors are increasingly focused on:

• Townhomes in Milton and Georgetown
• Oakville condos with rental upside
• Freeholds with legal basement potential
• Newer-build properties with energy efficiency
• Areas with proximity to GO Transit, Hwy 401, and QEW

Assignment activity has slowed across Halton, but interest persists in select Oakville and Milton developments.

Buyer Strategies for 2025–2026

Buyers should embrace today’s balanced-to-buyer-friendly environment:

• Negotiate confidently — conditions are common again
• Explore stale listings for value
• Look at up-and-coming pockets in Milton and Georgetown
• Compare freeholds to townhomes to optimize affordability
• Use lender rate holds to protect against short-term uncertainty

Milton and Georgetown remain the most realistic entry points for first-time buyers.

Seller Strategies for 2025–2026

Sellers must adjust to a slower market:

• Price accurately based on true 2025 comparables
• Stage the property to maximize visual impact
• Invest in high-quality marketing, including video and social campaigns
• Consider offering flexibility on closing
• Refresh paint, lighting, and small repairs to increase appeal

In Halton, presentation and pricing accuracy define success.

Halton Region Outlook for 2026

Halton’s long-term outlook remains strong due to luxury appeal (Oakville & Burlington), family value (Milton), and suburban growth potential (Georgetown). As interest rates gradually decline through 2026, Halton will likely see stronger buyer participation, especially in townhomes, semis, and entry-level detached homes. Luxury markets will recover more slowly but are expected to stabilize by late 2026 or early 2027.

Durham Region’s real estate market in October 2025 reflects one of the most dynamic shifts across the entire Greater Toronto Area. Long regarded as the GTA’s most affordable major region, Durham has seen immense demand growth over the past decade due to population expansion, value-driven buyers, and improving transit access. Today, however, Durham is experiencing the same buyer-leaning balance seen across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and York Region — but with its own unique affordability-driven behavior.

According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the broader GTA recorded 6,138 home sales in October 2025, marking a 9.5% decline from the same month last year. New listings climbed to 16,069, a 2.7% increase year-over-year, and the average GTA selling price fell to $1,054,372, down about 7% from 2024. Durham Region, sitting at the more affordable end of the GTA price spectrum, is feeling similar cooling pressure, though demand remains stronger than in higher-priced markets because of its accessibility for first-time buyers and commuters.

Durham’s local market numbers show a clear moderation. Inventory has increased across all cities, sales have slowed compared to last year, and typical Days on Market (DOM) have broadened noticeably. Compared to York, Peel, or Toronto, Durham remains the region where buyers find the most financial flexibility — but higher borrowing costs have softened activity. The Bank of Canada’s October 29 rate cut to 2.25% has provided some relief, yet buyers are still cautious, selective, and ready to negotiate more aggressively. Inflation around 2.4% and slower economic growth limit the return of high-velocity buying.

Durham is composed of several highly distinct cities and towns, including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Uxbridge, Brock, and Scugog. Each area has its own micro-market conditions shaped by affordability, transit access, employment nodes, housing stock age, and new construction pipelines. What unifies the region is the shift away from overheated seller conditions and toward a calm, patient, negotiation-friendly market.

Durham Region Market Snapshot – October 2025

Durham’s housing activity across October 2025 shows that:

• Sales are slower relative to 2024
• Inventory is up across nearly all segments
• Buyers are no longer rushing into offers
• DOM has stretched to a range of 30–70+ days depending on home type
• Detached homes, which make up the bulk of Durham inventory, show the steepest adjustments
• Semis, towns, and entry-level homes remain the region’s strongest performers
• Condos, though a smaller segment, are showing steady but moderated absorption

Durham remains more affordable than York, Halton, or Toronto, which stabilizes demand and prevents deep corrections. But affordability alone is not enough to overcome interest-rate pressure, and that is reflected in Durham’s current pace of sales and broader inventory levels.

Detached Homes in Durham Region

Detached homes represent a large portion of Durham’s housing, especially in Oshawa, Clarington, Whitby, and Pickering. This segment is particularly interest-rate-sensitive due to mortgage size and renovation costs.

Detached home trends across Durham include:

• DOM: 40–75 days
• Price adjustments consistent with GTA’s –5% to –7% YoY range
• Higher inventory, especially in newer subdivisions
• Large two-story detached homes built between 2005 and 2015 showing slower absorption
• Stronger demand for updated, move-in-ready detached homes under $1M

Oshawa, being Durham’s most affordable major city, shows the strongest buyer interest for detached properties. Clarington continues to attract families seeking value and larger lots, but like the rest of the region, DOM is extended. Whitby and Pickering — historically higher-priced — are seeing buyers push harder on negotiation.

Detached homes requiring substantial renovations or upgrades often sit much longer as buyers avoid additional financial burden during a high-cost borrowing environment. Newer detached homes offering finished basements, income potential, and energy-efficient upgrades continue to outperform.

Semi-Detached Homes in Durham Region

Semi-detached homes are among Durham’s most resilient categories. They appeal strongly to first-time homebuyers and families looking for affordability without sacrificing space. These homes tend to sell faster relative to detached inventory.

Typical semi-detached metrics across Durham:

• DOM: 20–40 days
• Stable pricing aligned with moderate GTA shifts
• Strongest demand in Oshawa, Whitby, and Ajax
• Premium performance for semis with finished basements or rental potential

Semis in communities like Whitby Shores, North Ajax, East Oshawa, and Brooklin enjoy consistent buyer interest. Durham’s semi-detached segment benefits from being one of the few remaining affordable freehold options with access to the 401, 407, and GO Transit.

Townhomes in Durham Region

Townhomes — both freehold and condo-managed — remain a popular mid-range choice for families across Durham Region. With detached homes becoming harder to afford, the townhome segment is attracting sustained attention.

Townhome performance in October 2025:

• DOM: 25–50 days
• Prices adjusting modestly
• Higher turnover in new subdivisions in Oshawa, Clarington, and Courtice
• Towns in Ajax and Pickering remain premium-priced but more negotiable than in previous years

Freehold towns along Taunton Road, Harmony Road, Conlin Road, and the Bowmanville/Clarington corridor consistently outperform in terms of showings and offers. Townhomes with attached garages, larger layouts, and finished basements see the strongest interest.

Condo Market in Durham Region

Durham’s condo market is significantly smaller than Toronto, Mississauga, or Vaughan, but it plays an increasingly important role for affordability. Condo communities in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa provide entry-level homeownership paths for first-time buyers.

Condo market patterns include:

• DOM: 30–55 days
• YoY price adjustments modest (consistent with GTA’s 4–6% condo easing)
• Strong rental demand continues due to population growth
• High investor presence in certain newer Pickering/Oshawa developments

Pickering’s condo market benefits from its proximity to Toronto and the 401, with many young professionals seeking more space for lower costs. Downtown Oshawa also maintains steady demand due to its growing student population and transit access.

Durham Region City-by-City Breakdown

Oshawa

Oshawa remains the most affordable major city in the GTA and continues to show the strongest demand in Durham. Detached and semi-detached properties priced under $900K receive consistent showings, though DOM still ranges 35–65 days. Newer developments in North Oshawa along Simcoe and Harmony offer modern homes with competitive pricing.

Whitby

Whitby shows a more balanced market, with detached homes experiencing longer absorption times and townhomes performing steadily. Semis remain one of Whitby's best-performing segments. Brooklin and Whitby Shores continue to be among the city’s most attractive communities.

Ajax

Ajax remains desirable due to its location, waterfront, and strong community amenities. Townhomes and semis are stable performers. Detached homes show slower turnover, especially at higher price points. Buyers are comparing Ajax closely with more affordable Oshawa options.

Pickering

Pickering sees moderate activity in both freehold and condo segments. Areas near Frenchman’s Bay, Liverpool Road, and Brock Road maintain interest. Condos near the Pickering GO and Highway 401 continue to see balanced demand from commuters.

Clarington

Clarington attracts families seeking more space at a lower cost. Detached and townhome markets remain healthier relative to Durham’s costlier cities. Bowmanville and Courtice show steady activity. DOM: roughly 35–60 days.

Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock

These northern municipalities present slower markets due to rural location and higher price gaps. DOM can exceed 70 days for larger properties. Townhomes and smaller detached homes move more predictably.

Investor Behavior in Durham Region

Durham is one of the most attractive regions for investors due to affordability, strong rental demand, and population growth. Investor priorities include:

• Freehold townhomes in Oshawa and Clarington
• Semi-detached homes with legal basement potential
• Condos in Pickering and Oshawa with strong rent-to-price ratios
• Properties close to transit and post-secondary institutions

Investors remain more careful with cash flow due to interest rates but recognize Durham’s long-term upside.

Buyer Strategies for 2025–2026

Buyers benefit greatly from the current Durham environment. Recommended strategies include:

• Negotiate confidently; Durham sellers have more flexibility
• Take advantage of longer DOM for inspection and financing conditions
• Explore “stale” listings (45–90+ days) for the best opportunities
• Consider value pockets in North Oshawa, Clarington, and Courtice
• Compare freeholds vs. townhomes to determine best affordability path

Durham is one of the few GTA regions where buyers can still find freeholds below the $1M mark.

Seller Strategies for 2025–2026

Sellers must adjust to the cooling conditions:

• Price realistically based on 2025 trends, not previous peaks
• Stage the home for maximum impact
• Invest in professional photography and marketing
• Monitor competing listings every week
• Complete key repairs before listing to reduce buyer hesitation

Durham’s best-performing sellers are the ones who identify buyer expectations early.

Durham Region Outlook for 2026

Durham is expected to perform steadily in 2026 as interest rates gradually decline. Townhomes and semis will continue to be strong performers, and detached homes will normalize as buyers adjust to new borrowing conditions. Long-term fundamentals — transit expansion, affordability, and population growth — keep Durham among the GTA’s most promising regions for sustained real estate activity.

 York Region’s real estate market in October 2025 is undergoing one of the most meaningful transitions in the GTA. Long known for its top schools, newer housing stock, family-oriented neighborhoods, and strong immigration-driven demand, the region is now operating in a buyer-leaning balanced market. The shift is not dramatic or chaotic, but measured, steady, and shaped by more rational buyer behavior against a backdrop of higher inventory and longer days on market.

Across the GTA, TRREB reported 6,138 home sales in October, down 9.5% year-over-year, with 16,069 new listings entering the market, a 2.7% increase. The average GTA selling price dropped to $1,054,372, roughly 7% lower than last year. Buyers have more choice, more time, and more negotiation leverage than at any point since before the pandemic surge. York Region mirrors these trends, but the impact is amplified due to its higher price points and heavy concentration of freehold homes.

More importantly, York Region–specific data confirms the shift. According to market summaries released in November:

• 3,027 new listings entered the York Region market in October
• Active listings reached 5,486 homes
• Months of Inventory (MOI) climbed to 5.1 months, up from 4.9 the month before
• Sales slowed more noticeably in luxury-oriented neighborhoods
• DOM stretched across all home types, especially detached

These numbers paint a clear picture: York Region is now firmly in balanced-to-slow market territory, and for the first time in years, buyers have structural bargaining power.

The Bank of Canada’s October 29, 2025 rate cut, lowering the overnight rate to 2.25%, has improved affordability on paper, but sentiment remains cautious. Buyers are not rushing; they’re evaluating, comparing, negotiating, and waiting for value. Inflation remains around 2.4%, economic growth is soft, and employment stability varies across sectors. All of this affects higher-priced regions more intensely, and York Region sits at the top end of GTA prices.

York Region Market Snapshot With Stats

York Region’s market dynamics speak clearly through numbers. Inventory is elevated, sales are slower, and buyers have regained time and choice.

• New listings: 3,027
• Active listings: 5,486
• Months of Inventory: 5.1 (approaching a mild buyer’s market)
• Typical Days on Market:
• Detached: 45–80+ days
• Semi-detached: 20–40 days
• Townhomes: 25–50 days
• Condos: 30–55 days

These numbers make York Region one of the slowest-moving large regions in the GTA right now. Higher carrying costs and larger home sizes translate into more cautious buyer behavior.

While the region is not experiencing steep price collapses, the momentum of the market has clearly cooled. The urgency, bidding wars, and unconditional offers of 2020–2022 are gone. Sellers must be competitive, flexible, and data-driven.

Detached Homes in York Region (With Stats)

Detached homes dominate York Region’s housing supply and also show the deepest cooling. Detached homes face the highest mortgage payments, making them the most sensitive to rate changes.

Typical detached performance:

• DOM: 45–80 days
• Price adjustments: generally aligned with GTA’s –5% to –7% YoY range
• Luxury homes over $2.5M: extended DOM often 90+ days
• Listings in Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and King: significantly higher than last year

Richmond Hill alone recorded 175 detached and low-rise sales in October, representing $233.4 million in transaction value, with average prices hovering near $1.33M. Even at this price level, buyers are negotiating more aggressively, especially for homes requiring upgrades or energy-efficiency improvements.

Markham’s detached segment continues to attract steady interest due to schools and transit, but even here, DOM is materially longer. Vaughan detached properties, particularly in Vellore Village, Maple, and Patterson, remain popular but slower to absorb. Aurora and Newmarket are somewhat more balanced due to mid-range pricing, though detached homes still sit longer than they did in 2021–2022.

Renovated detached homes outperform the market significantly. Homes with modern kitchens, updated roofs, energy-efficient systems, and finished basements sell faster and closer to asking price.

Semi-Detached Homes in York Region (With Stats)

Semi-detached homes remain one of the strongest-performing freehold segments. They offer space, affordability relative to detached homes, and strong appeal for families wanting to stay within York Region’s school districts.

Typical semi-detached stats:

• DOM: 20–40 days
• YoY pricing: relatively stable compared to detached
• Best-performing areas: Markham (Cornell, Box Grove, Greensborough), Vaughan (Sonoma Heights, Maple), Richmond Hill (Jefferson, Bayview Hill)

Semis with finished basements and income potential continue to outperform the segment average. Multi-generational families remain key drivers of demand in Markham and Richmond Hill, stabilizing this segment even during slower market cycles.

Townhomes in York Region (With Stats)

Townhomes offer a key balance between affordability and square footage. They remain one of the most resilient market segments in York Region.

Townhome performance:

• DOM: 25–50 days
• YoY pricing: aligns with GTA’s mild adjustments
• Higher competition in newer complexes (post-2010 builds)
• Family-focused demand strongest in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Stouffville

Townhomes near GO stations, Highway 404/407 access points, and strong school zones continue to hold value. Townhomes in Cornell and Wismer (Markham), Patterson and Thornhill Woods (Vaughan), and Stonehaven (Newmarket) attract consistent buyer interest even in slower months.

York Region Condo Market (With Stats)

Although condos represent a smaller share of York Region inventory, their role is expanding. Condos serve first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors seeking long-term stability.

Typical condo stats:

• DOM: 30–55 days
• YoY condo price movement: –4% to –6%, aligned with regional patterns
• Inventory increased in high-density areas: VMC, Markham City Centre, Richmond Hill Yonge Corridor
• Rental demand remains strong, supporting investor interest

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) remains one of the most active condo hubs despite slower absorption. Its appeal lies in subway access (TTC Line 1 extension), GO station proximity, major highways, and commercial growth. Investor-heavy buildings built from 2018–2023 are experiencing slower resale activity and increased negotiation margins.

Markham’s condo market, particularly around Warden & Highway 7, remains steady due to local tech and biomedical employment centers. Richmond Hill’s Yonge corridor shows slower but stable absorption, especially for two-bedroom units.

City-by-City Breakdown With Local Stats

Markham

Markham remains one of the GTA’s most desirable suburban cities. Detached DOM ranges from 40–70 days, semis from 20–35 days, and townhomes from 25–45 days. The condo market near Downtown Markham and Unionville remains competitive with DOM around 30–55 days. Strong school zones and tech-sector employment continue to support demand.

Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill shows one of York Region’s slowest detached absorptions. Luxury homes often sit 60–90+ days. Townhomes and semis remain stable in areas like Jefferson and Bayview/Elgin Mills. Condos along the Yonge corridor show moderate activity.

Vaughan

Vaughan demonstrates wide variability. Detached homes in Vellore Village and Maple may sit 50–75 days, while townhomes in Thornhill Woods or Patterson perform steadily. Condos in VMC show longer DOM due to increased inventory and investor concentration.

Newmarket

Newmarket benefits from relative affordability. Detached DOM sits around 35–60 days, with townhomes moving faster. Condos near Davis Drive and Yonge Street show balanced trends and attract first-time buyers.

Aurora

Aurora remains balanced. Detached DOM hovers around 40–65 days. Townhomes continue to attract families due to strong schools, newer builds, and proximity to transit.

King

King remains luxury-dominated with extended DOM for estate properties often exceeding 90 days. Homes require highly competitive pricing and targeted marketing to attract qualified buyers.

East Gwillimbury

East Gwillimbury sees steady demand from families seeking value. Detached DOM ranges between 40–65 days, and newer subdivisions perform better than older ones.

Georgina

Georgina remains one of the most affordable pockets of York Region. Price adjustments are milder, and buyers focused on price-per-square-foot continue to target Keswick and Sutton for value.

Whitchurch–Stouffville

Townhomes and semis remain strong performers. Detached homes show longer DOM, particularly in older subdivisions. Newer developments near Highway 48 and Tenth Line continue to attract families.

Investor Trends in York Region

Investors now focus on:

• Townhomes near transit hubs
• Semis with income potential
• Condos with low fees in VMC, Markham, and Richmond Hill
• Freeholds in high-immigrant-demand neighborhoods
• Two-bedroom condos for rental stability

Assignments exist but move selectively in VMC, Markham City Centre, and Stouffville.

Buyer Strategies (2025–2026)

Buyers now enjoy leverage unseen since 2018. Strategies include:

• Negotiating price reductions
• Using inspection and financing conditions
• Requesting repairs or closing credits
• Comparing multiple homes across multiple cities
• Targeting stale listings (45–90+ days) for best deals

Seller Strategies (2025–2026)

Sellers must embrace the new reality:

• Price homes according to 2025 conditions
• Use professional staging, photography, and video
• Review competing listings weekly
• Offer flexible closing dates
• Complete cosmetic upgrades for stronger showing

Underpricing strategically may be advantageous in slower markets.

York Region Outlook for 2026

York Region is projected to stabilize through 2026 as rate cuts gradually revive demand. Detached homes may recover more slowly, while semis, townhomes, and transit-oriented condos will likely experience stronger early momentum. Long-term fundamentals remain exceptionally strong due to employment centers, transit expansions, top schools, and rapid immigration.

Brampton’s housing market in October 2025 reflects one of the most significant structural shifts the city has seen since the early 2010s. After years of aggressive appreciation, intense bidding wars, and record-low inventory, Brampton has now moved decisively into a balanced-to-buyer-leaning environment. Market activity has slowed, days on market have lengthened, buyer caution has increased, and sellers must now rely on pricing accuracy and professional marketing rather than relying on market momentum.

According to the latest October 2025 numbers from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the GTA recorded 6,138 home sales, which is 9.5% lower than October 2024. New listings rose to 16,069, an increase of 2.7% year-over-year. The average home price across the GTA now sits at $1,054,372, reflecting a 7.2% decline from last year. Although Brampton-specific numbers are embedded within larger Peel Region trends, the behavior of the market—slower sales, increased inventory, and moderated pricing—is unmistakable. Buyers now have significantly more leverage, and sellers must adjust strategies accordingly.

Brampton’s transition into this new phase is influenced by several key factors. First, the Bank of Canada’s recent rate cut on October 29, 2025, which lowered the overnight rate to 2.25%, has begun to improve affordability but has not yet fully stimulated demand. Second, the economic environment remains cautious, with slower employment gains and economic uncertainty pushing many households to delay major purchasing decisions. Third, Brampton’s market composition—dominated by detached and semi-detached homes—makes it one of the most interest-rate-sensitive regions in the GTA. This combination has pushed the city into a slower, more deliberate pace of transactions.

Overview of the Brampton Market in October 2025

Across Brampton, buyer behavior has shifted dramatically. Properties no longer vanish from the market within days. Instead, many listings now take 35 to 70+ days to sell, depending on property type, pricing accuracy, and neighborhood. New listings continue to increase across freehold and townhouse segments, especially in neighborhoods with high turnover and communities built between 2005 and 2019. Seller motivations vary: some are upgrading, some downsizing, and a meaningful number are investors who purchased during the pandemic boom and are now adjusting expectations based on changing market conditions.

The Brampton market today is defined by five key trends. First, detached homes—particularly large four- and five-bedroom models—are showing the deepest price adjustments from their peak levels. Second, semi-detached homes remain more resilient due to lower entry price points and strong family demand. Third, townhomes continue to show stable performance, especially in transit-friendly corridors. Fourth, condo apartments, while a smaller part of Brampton’s overall housing landscape compared to Toronto or Mississauga, are exhibiting balanced conditions with moderate supply. Fifth, the rental market remains tight, with high demand supporting investor confidence in select pockets.

Overall, Brampton is experiencing one of the most balanced markets in Peel Region. Buyers finally have time to breathe, compare options, introduce conditions, and evaluate homes without pressure. Sellers must now compete on quality, pricing precision, and presentation.

Detached Homes in Brampton

Detached homes represent the largest and most varied portion of Brampton’s housing stock. These homes have experienced the most significant market correction, as they are heavily influenced by borrowing costs and buyer affordability. Many families who previously aimed for a detached home are now evaluating townhomes or semi-detached options due to interest rate concerns.

Detached inventory rose notably in neighborhoods such as Castlemore, Vales of Castlemore North, Bram East, Brampton North, Mount Pleasant, Credit Valley, and Northwest Brampton. Days on market for detached homes now typically range from 40 to 75 days, though certain luxury or older properties may stay listed even longer. Detached homes priced between $1.1M and $1.4M move faster compared to homes over $1.8M, which now require highly strategic marketing.

Premium neighborhoods like Credit Valley, Churchville, and Castlemore continue to attract buyers, but the level of urgency seen in early 2020s has evaporated. Move-up buyers are more sensitive to monthly carrying costs, and those with existing mortgages at higher rates are delaying upgrades. As a result, detached sellers must now consider pricing relative to recent comparable sales rather than relying on aspirational list prices.

Homes that are renovated, staged, and move-in-ready continue to outperform older or partially updated homes. Buyers are less willing to take on large renovation projects due to elevated renovation costs and the uncertainty of future mortgage expenses.

Semi-Detached Homes in Brampton

Semi-detached homes remain one of the most in-demand segments in Brampton because they offer affordability relative to detached homes and more space than a condo or townhome. Price adjustments in this segment have been milder compared to detached properties.

Neighborhoods such as Fletcher’s Meadow, Springdale, Brampton South, and Heart Lake East show steady demand for semis. DOM for semi-detached homes typically ranges from 20 to 40 days, and well-maintained properties often attract multiple showings within the first two weeks.

Semis continue to appeal strongly to first-time buyers and young families looking to stay within the city. Proximity to schools, parks, transit, and retail corridors plays a major role in absorption. Basements—especially legal second units—are a major selling feature in Brampton, and semi-detached homes offering rental potential typically outperform those without.

Townhomes in Brampton

Townhomes in Brampton form a critical part of the city's mid-range housing supply. Both freehold townhouses and condo townhouses continue to attract interest from families and investors.

In areas such as Mount Pleasant, Bram West, Springdale, and Heart Lake, townhomes remain one of the most sought-after categories because of their price relative to detached homes. DOM ranges from 25 to 50 days for townhomes in most neighborhoods. Freehold townhomes near Mount Pleasant GO Station often perform better due to commuter accessibility.

Condo townhomes built in the mid-2000s, particularly in Bram East and Bramalea, face more competition due to higher maintenance fees and aging infrastructure. However, properties with larger floorplans and functional layouts remain popular among families.

Townhomes continue to provide an attractive entry point for buyers who want to avoid high-rise condos but cannot stretch into the detached market. Investors also target this segment due to strong rental demand, especially near transit stations and school zones.

Brampton Condo Market in 2025

Although Brampton’s condo market is smaller than Toronto or Mississauga, it performs an important role in providing entry-level ownership options. The majority of condo buildings are concentrated around Bramalea, Downtown Brampton, Mount Pleasant, and Queen Street corridors.

Condo prices in Brampton have softened modestly year-over-year, similar to the GTA condo trend of a 4% to 6% decline in average values. DOM for Brampton condos typically ranges from 30 to 60 days. Units with parking, upgraded interiors, and larger square footage remain attractive to buyers.

Buildings with higher maintenance fees require more careful pricing. First-time buyers remain the primary drivers of condo demand, although investors continue to support the segment due to the strong rental market. Proximity to GO stations, highway access, and retail amenities continue to shape condo buyer behavior.

Neighborhood Breakdown for Brampton

Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant remains one of the most desirable areas in Brampton due to its transit-oriented design, proximity to Mount Pleasant GO Station, and abundance of newer housing stock. Townhomes and detached homes perform steadily, though DOM is longer than in previous years. Buyers appreciate the walkable village-style core, newer schools, and commuter advantage.

Bram East

Bram East continues to attract interest due to its proximity to Vaughan, Highway 427, and newer luxury subdivisions. Detached homes are correcting but remain premium-priced. Townhomes move more quickly. Buyers in this neighborhood prioritize newer construction, double garages, and larger floorplans.

Castlemore

Castlemore’s luxury detached market shows slower absorption due to its higher price bracket, but quality homes in the $1.4M to $1.8M range perform reasonably well if priced properly. Homes over $2M require exceptional presentation and competitive pricing to attract the limited supply of qualified buyers.

Fletcher’s Meadow and Fletcher’s Creek South

These neighborhoods offer affordability relative to other parts of Brampton. Semi-detached homes and townhomes remain in steady demand. Detached listings often take longer to sell unless priced competitively.

Heart Lake and Heart Lake East

Heart Lake offers a mix of older detached homes, townhomes, and semi-detached properties. DOM is variable based on condition and upgrades. Renovated homes tend to move faster due to strong local school zones, parks, and recreational access.

Downtown Brampton

The downtown area shows slower activity due to aging housing stock and limited transit improvements. However, buyers who value character homes, proximity to GO Transit, and future redevelopment opportunities continue to show interest. Condo absorption is steady.

Investor Strategies in Brampton for 2025–2026

Investors in Brampton are focusing on:
• Legal basement apartments
• Townhomes near Mount Pleasant GO
• Semi-detached homes with rental potential
• Condos near Queen Street and Downtown Brampton
• Freeholds in areas with strong school districts

Cash-flow analysis is more cautious in 2025, but long-term rental demand remains robust due to population growth and affordability pressures.

Buyer Strategies for Brampton

Buyers should take advantage of longer DOM and negotiate confidently. Financing conditions and home inspections are now common again, offering greater protection. Buyers focused on affordability may find exceptional value in townhouse and semi-detached segments.

Seller Strategies for Brampton

Sellers must embrace data-driven pricing. Homes that are staged, decluttered, photographed professionally, and marketed across multiple channels consistently outperform those that rely only on MLS exposure. Sellers should also consider offering flexible closing dates and ensuring that listings launch at the correct price rather than testing the market.

Outlook for Brampton in 2026

Brampton’s long-term fundamentals remain strong. Immigration, relative affordability compared to Toronto, rapid population growth, and expanding transit corridors will continue to support real estate demand. As interest rates normalize through 2026, buyer confidence is expected to gradually improve. Detached homes may experience slower stabilization, while townhomes and semis remain well positioned for long-term growth.

Mississauga’s housing market in October 2025 is defined by a unique blend of stability, correction, and renewed opportunity. As one of the most economically diverse and demographically dynamic cities in the Greater Toronto Area, Mississauga consistently behaves differently from Toronto, Durham, or York Region. The October 2025 numbers clearly demonstrate that Mississauga is now experiencing a genuine balanced-to-buyer-leaning environment. Higher inventory, slower sales, longer days on market, and moderating prices have allowed buyers to regain leverage while pushing sellers to adopt more strategic pricing and modern marketing.

According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the GTA recorded 6,138 total residential sales in October 2025, down 9.5% compared to the same month last year. New listings climbed to 16,069, an annual increase of 2.7%. The average GTA home price settled at $1,054,372, representing a 7.2% decline from October 2024. Mississauga follows these trends closely but with neighborhoods that behave differently based on housing type, age of inventory, and commuter preferences. Mississauga’s real estate landscape is highly segmented, with luxury properties in Mineola and Lorne Park performing differently from high-rise condo zones near Square One or townhouse clusters in Churchill Meadows and Erin Mills.

Interest rate shifts are also impacting Mississauga. On October 29, 2025, the Bank of Canada reduced its overnight lending rate to 2.25% in response to slowing GDP growth and easing inflation. This has boosted affordability for buyers with strong employment, but uncertainty in the broader economy continues to restrain aggressive purchasing. The overall result is a calmer, more deliberate market. Buyers have time to compare listings, revisit properties, include conditions, and negotiate price. Sellers must price appropriately, present flawlessly, and understand that the days of quick bidding wars are temporarily behind us.

Mississauga Market Snapshot (October 2025)

Mississauga’s real estate activity reflects a consistent pattern seen across the GTA: sales have softened, new listings have grown, and buyers have regained the ability to negotiate. Detached homes, the city’s most expensive segment, are experiencing the largest corrections. Semi-detached homes remain relatively stable, and townhouse demand continues to be steady, especially among young families. The condo market, particularly in the Square One district, is showing balanced activity, with ample supply and moderate price movement.

Mississauga’s Days on Market (DOM) for most home types now ranges from 30 to 60+ days. Condos near the City Centre can remain active for up to 45 to 70 days depending on price point, floor level, and building condition. Detached homes often require 40 to 75 days to sell, while well-presented townhomes usually move faster. This shift enables buyers to reintroduce home inspections, financing conditions, and negotiations without the fear of losing a property within hours.

Mississauga is also seeing elevated inventory in mid-rise and high-rise condos built between 2017 and 2022. Many of these buildings were investor-heavy during the pre-construction boom years, leading to higher turnover and more competition. In contrast, freehold neighborhoods such as Meadowvale, Erin Mills, Applewood, and Port Credit exhibit tighter supply relative to demand, although not nearly as tight as the peak years of 2021–2022.

Detached Homes in Mississauga

Detached homes represent the segment with the most notable price adjustments. Mississauga’s detached market is heavily influenced by mortgage rates because it caters to move-up families and upper-middle-income buyers who are more sensitive to borrowing costs than first-time buyers or investors.

Detached inventory across Mississauga has increased, particularly in Central Erin Mills, East Credit, Streetsville, and the larger-lot neighborhoods around Meadowvale Village. DOM for detached homes now spans approximately 40 to 75 days. Homes priced correctly from the start may sell within 25 to 40 days, but properties priced according to 2021 peak expectations often sit for months and require multiple reductions. Even highly desirable areas like Mineola, Lorne Park, and Port Credit have shifted toward longer marketing periods for detached properties, particularly those in the $2M–$4M range. Luxury listings over $3M require precise pricing, exceptional presentation, and targeted marketing campaigns to attract the smaller pool of qualified buyers.

Overall, detached buyers are now in a stronger negotiating position. They can evaluate multiple listings, demand repairs or credits, and walk away if pricing seems unrealistic. For sellers, the path to success includes transparent pricing, impeccable staging, and a flexible approach to offers.

Semi-Detached Homes in Mississauga

Semi-detached homes continue to be one of Mississauga’s most resilient segments. Semis offer significant value for families who want more space than a townhouse or condo but cannot justify detached-home prices. Demand for semis in high-performing school districts like Central Erin Mills, John Fraser, Erin Mills, Clarkson, and Clarkson Village remains stable.

DOM for semis typically ranges from 20 to 40 days, depending on the condition and location. Semis with finished basements, upgraded kitchens, and proximity to transit sell faster and closer to asking price. Year-over-year price adjustments for semis are mild compared to the detached segment, generally in line with the GTA-wide benchmark index’s 5% softening. As long as the price aligns with current market expectations, semis remain a predictable and steady performer.

Townhouses in Mississauga

Townhouses have become a middle-ground solution for many new families and move-up buyers. Mississauga has a strong townhouse inventory made up of stacked towns, freehold towns, and traditional two- or three-bedroom street towns.

DOM for townhomes ranges from 25 to 50 days in most communities. Higher turnover is seen in Churchill Meadows, Lisgar, Meadowvale, and Port Credit townhome sites constructed between 2010 and 2020. Freehold towns in newer communities such as Churchill Meadows typically outperform older stacked townhouse complexes near Hurontario or Dundas.

The townhouse segment demonstrates moderate price corrections year-over-year, but demand remains healthy due to its affordability relative to freeholds and its suitability for families.

Mississauga Condo Market in 2025

Mississauga’s condo market is defined primarily by the Square One City Centre district, which contains some of the GTA’s densest clusters of high-rise towers. The downtown core continues to attract first-time buyers, young professionals, and investors, making it one of the most active condo markets in Ontario.

Condo prices have softened from 2024 levels, consistent with the GTA-wide 4% to 6% price easing. Investors are more cautious and are prioritizing buildings with efficient layouts, strong amenities, and reasonable maintenance fees. Buildings with higher fees, smaller one-bedroom units, and large investor concentrations are experiencing slower absorption.

Condo DOM ranges from 30 to 70 days. Units with good views and parking spots sell faster, while lower-floor units or buildings with special assessments or weak reserve funds remain on the market longer. Renters transitioning into ownership continue to support the condo market, as Mississauga rental rates remain high due to sustained population growth, student demand, and immigration.

Key condo zones performing steadily include Square One, Hurontario LRT corridor (especially near the new Hazel McCallion Line stops), Erin Mills near Credit Valley Hospital, and Lakeview near the massive waterfront redevelopment.

Neighborhood-by-Neighborhood Breakdown

Square One City Centre

Square One remains Mississauga’s most active market. High-rise towers deliver ample supply, leading to a balanced environment. Buyers enjoy multiple options and negotiation power. DOM is typically 30 to 60 days. Popular buildings near Celebration Square, Living Arts Centre, and the Sheridan College campus attract strong rental interest.

Erin Mills and Central Erin Mills

These neighborhoods attract families seeking reputable schools, parks, and highway access. Freeholds here have slowed from previous years but remain more competitive than some other areas. Semi-detached and townhouse units continue to move faster than detached.

Port Credit and Lakeview

Port Credit’s waterfront charm and revitalization make it resilient even in slower markets. Townhomes, luxury condos, and boutique developments continue to draw interest. The Lakeview Village development is shaping buyer expectations for future value appreciation.

Meadowvale and Lisgar

These areas remain popular due to affordability relative to the rest of the city. Freehold and townhouse demand remains stable, but detached sales move slowly due to rate-sensitive buyers. DOM often ranges from 35 to 60+ days.

Clarkson and Lorne Park

Luxury markets in Clarkson, Clarkson Village, and Lorne Park show slower turnover due to their higher price brackets. Well-presented properties still attract qualified buyers, but DOM is at its highest for homes above $2.5M.

Malton

Malton remains one of Mississauga’s most affordable neighborhoods, with strong demand for townhomes and non-luxury detached homes. Price corrections remain moderate, making it a value-oriented zone for buyers.

Mississauga Condo Investment Insights for 2025

Investors in Mississauga are now focused on:

1. Buildings with strong rental demand near Sheridan College, Square One, and the Hurontario LRT

2. Two-bedroom units offering better long-term rental stability

3. Low-maintenance-fee buildings with proven resale history

4. Newer towers with efficient layouts and balconies

Assignments in Mississauga have slowed compared to 2021–2022, but selective opportunities exist in Lakeview, Erin Mills, and Hurontario projects where price adjustments have created investor opportunities.

Buyer Strategies for 2025–2026

Buyers should consider full mortgage pre-approval before searching. Mississauga’s balanced market provides the chance to negotiate price, include conditions, and revisit properties multiple times. Buyers should evaluate long-term growth areas such as Lakeview Village, Port Credit, the LRT corridor, and established family neighborhoods like Erin Mills.

Seller Strategies for 2025–2026

Sellers benefit from accurate pricing and professional presentation. Staging, photography, video walkthroughs, and targeted digital marketing are essential for standing out. Sellers should also be prepared for longer DOM and consider offering flexible closing dates or modest incentives. In a balanced market, overpriced listings risk becoming stale quickly.

Market Outlook for Mississauga in 2026

Mississauga’s long-term fundamentals remain strong. The Hurontario LRT, the Lakeview Village project, ongoing redevelopment near Square One, and steady immigration keep long-term demand resilient. Detached homes may stabilize as rates fall gradually. Condos are expected to experience steady demand as renters move toward ownership.

Introduction: Toronto’s Market Has Shifted Into True Balance

The Toronto housing market in October 2025 reflects a major structural shift. After years of rapid appreciation and overheated bidding wars, the city has now entered a balanced-to-buyer-leaning market. Higher inventory, slower sales, increased days on market, and rate-sensitive buyers have reshaped the landscape.

According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB):

• 6,138 GTA sales in October 2025 (–9.5% YoY)

• 16,069 new listings (+2.7% YoY)

• Average GTA price: $1,054,372 (–7.2% YoY)

• SNLR: ~38% (buyer-leaning)

Interest rates are providing some relief. The Bank of Canada lowered the overnight rate to 2.25% on Oct 29, but buyers remain cautious due to economic uncertainty.

Toronto Market Snapshot (October 2025)

Sales Down, Listings Up, DOM Rising

Across the city:

• Sales activity slowed compared to last year

• New listings increased noticeably

• Condos and freeholds stayed on market longer

• Days on Market (DOM) in many neighborhoods range from 30 to 70 days

This means buyers now hold more negotiation power, while sellers must be strategic with pricing and presentation.

Toronto Freehold Market Overview

Detached Homes — Most Affected by Rate Sensitivity

Detached homes saw the biggest price softening:

• Higher inventory

• Tighter buyer budgets

• DOM often 40–70 days

• Price adjustments in most districts compared to 2024

Detached segments in Willowdale, Leaside, Etobicoke, and midtown show the most noticeable year-over-year corrections.

Semi-Detached Homes — Still Stable With Predictable Demand

Semi-detached homes continue to hold value:

• DOM: 25–45 days

• Popular with families moving up but staying in Toronto

• Strong demand in East York, Danforth, Leslieville, Corso Italia, and The Beaches

These homes offer a middle ground between affordability and space.

Townhomes — Strong Appeal in 2025

Townhouses remain attractive for couples and young families:

• DOM: 30–50 days

• Stable demand in Liberty Village, Junction Triangle, Downsview, and Scarborough Bluffs

• Balanced market behaviour with moderate price adjustments

Toronto Condo Market (416 Market Report)

Condo Prices Moderately Lower, But Stable

Condo prices have softened gently from 2024 levels:

• YoY condo price movement: typically –4% to –6%

• Benchmark condo values down slightly

• Inventory higher in investor-heavy neighborhoods

Despite this, condos remain the most accessible ownership option in Toronto.

Condo DOM Increasing, Boosting Buyer Power

Typical condo DOM:

• Downtown: 30–50 days

• North York: 35–60 days

• Etobicoke Waterfront: 40–70 days

• Scarborough: 30–55 days

Buyers now have time to compare units, review reserve funds, evaluate fees, and negotiate.

• Avoiding high-fee buildings

• Targeting high-demand rental nodes

• Selectively pursuing assignments in softened buildings

Popular investment pockets:

• Downtown core

• York University area

• U of T / TMU

Waterfront Condos (Mimico / Humber Bay Shores)

• DOM: 40–70 days

• Prices aligned with GTA condo declines

• Higher investor concentration = more negotiation room

• DOM: 30–55 days

• Buyers comparing older, larger condos with newer small-unit towers

Freeholds (Markland Wood, Eatonville, Islington)

• DOM: 25–50 days

• Prices more resilient due to family-oriented nature of neighborhoods

• Larger lots, good schools, and stable demand make this a value pocket

Market Outlook for 2026

Toronto is expected to remain:

• Stable, not volatile

• Supported by declining interest rates

• Influenced by slower economic growth

• Driven by immigration & rental pressure

A supply shortage could appear again in 2027–2028 due to fewer new construction starts.

Buyer & Seller Strategies for 2025–2026

For Buyers

• Negotiate confidently

• Use inspections and financing conditions

• Prioritize neighborhoods with rising inventory

• Compare multiple buildings before choosing

• Consider “stale listings” (40–90+ DOM) for price drops

For Sellers

• Price realistically based on today’s data

• Stage professionally (non-negotiable in 2025)

• Invest in high-quality marketing

• Monitor competing listings weekly

• Be flexible on closing dates or incentives

 October 2025 GTA Real Estate Market Update: Buyers Quietly Regain the Upper Hand

After years of extreme volatility, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) housing market is finally starting to look… almost normal again.

The October 2025 numbers from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) show a market that is cooler than last fall, but much healthier for buyers than the frantic years of 2020–2022. Sales are lower, listings are higher, and prices are adjusting downward in a controlled way. At the same time, the Bank of Canada has taken another step in its rate-cutting cycle, with the policy rate now at 2.25%, and headline inflation hovering around 2.4%. Bank of Canada

For anyone thinking about buying or selling a home or condo in the GTA, October’s data sends a clear message: this is a negotiation market, not a bidding-war market. Well-qualified buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in years, while sellers need to be strategic, realistic, and data driven.

In this post, we’ll break down what the October 2025 market looked like across the GTA, how condo segments are behaving compared to low-rise homes, what the broader economic backdrop means for real estate, and what both buyers and sellers should be doing right now.

GTA headline numbers: fewer sales, more listings, lower prices

According to TRREB, 6,138 residential transactions took place across the GTA in October 2025. That’s a decline of roughly 9.5% compared to October 2024. Over the same period, new listings edged up 2.7% to 16,069. TRREB MARKET WATCH

Put simply:

• Sales ↓

• New listings ↑

• Choice for buyers ↑

The average selling price for all home types in the GTA came in at $1,054,372, down about 7.2% year-over-year. A year earlier, the average price sat just above $1.13M.

At the same time, TRREB’s MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark – which measures the value of a “typical” home, adjusting for mix – was down about 5% compared to October 2024. TRREB MARKET WATCH

This combination of lower prices, higher inventory and softer sales tells us two key things:

1. Affordability has genuinely improved for buyers with stable jobs and financing.

2. Sellers face more competition and can’t rely on automatic appreciation to do the heavy lifting.

The sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) sits around 38% for October 2025, down from roughly 43% a year earlier. Market watchers generally consider 40–60% to be “balanced,” below 40% to be buyer-leaning, and above 60% to be strongly seller-leaning. By that standard, the GTA has tilted slightly back toward buyers. TRREB MARKET WATCH

Days on market confirm the story: properties are taking longer to sell. Recent summaries of the October 2025 stats show the average listing spending around 50 days on the market, up from the low-40s last year and much higher than the “blink and it’s gone” days of 2021. VIP Condos Toronto

For buyers, that extra time matters. It allows room for second showings, financing conditions, home inspections, and more thoughtful decision-making. For sellers, it means adjusting expectations: not every listing will sell in a week, and pricing too aggressively can backfire.

Economic backdrop: lower rates, but not zero stress

The housing market doesn’t exist in a vacuum. October’s data needs to be read together with what’s happening in the broader economy.

On October 29, 2025, the Bank of Canada lowered its target overnight interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.25%, citing a contracting Canadian economy (–1.6% annualized GDP in Q2 2025), ongoing trade tensions, and a softer labour market. Bank of Canada

At the same time:

• Headline inflation in September 2025 was reported at about 2.4% year-over-year, up from 1.9% in August but still within the Bank’s 1–3% target band. Statistics Canada

• Unemployment in major urban centres like Toronto remains elevated compared to pre-COVID norms, reflecting slower business investment and the impact of U.S. tariffs on export-oriented sectors. Reuters

For real estate, the signal is mixed:

• Positive: Lower rates mean lower mortgage payments on a given purchase price, which directly improves affordability.

• Caution: Slower GDP growth, trade uncertainty, and softer employment make many households hesitant to jump into a big financial commitment.

That’s exactly what TRREB and several independent commentators are seeing: motivated, secure buyers are active, but a large pool of “maybe later” buyers are still sitting on the sidelines, waiting for clarity on interest rates and the broader economy. Toronto Condo Report

Low-rise vs condo: how different segments are behaving

Even though the headline numbers are GTA-wide, the market behaves very differently by home type.

From the October 2025 Market Watch and TRREB’s Housing Market Charts, several patterns stand out: Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

1. Detached homes

   • Still the most expensive segment and the biggest ticket for buyers.

   • Have seen some of the sharpest price adjustments from the peak years, particularly in the 905 where detached prices ran far ahead of incomes.

   • Inventory for detached homes has risen meaningfully, creating negotiation room for buyers who were previously priced out.

2. Semi-detached and townhouses

   • Act as the “bridge” between condo and detached.

   • Price corrections haven’t been as deep as in the detached segment, but demand has softened as the cost of borrowing rose in prior years.

   • For move-up buyers selling a condo and buying a semi or townhouse, this segment now offers a more manageable step-up than in 2021–22.

3. Condo apartments

   • Condos remain the entry point for many first-time buyers and investors.

   • Price declines have been more modest on a dollar basis, but the segment is very sensitive to investor sentiment, interest rates, and assignment activity.

   • Central urban condos (especially downtown Toronto) continue to command a premium, while some outer-suburban condo projects are seeing more negotiation and incentives.

TRREB’s charts for October 2025 show that condo apartment prices are below their previous peak but still supported by structural demand: immigration, small households, and the relative affordability of condos versus ground-related homes. Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

For an agent like you, this narrative is gold for both first-time buyer and investor conversations:

“Detached and semi prices have corrected more sharply from the peak; condos have also adjusted but remain the most affordable ownership step. Today’s market finally lets you compare options calmly instead of rushing into the first listing you see.”

416 vs 905: core condos vs suburban ground-related

The October data and TRREB’s long-term charts still reinforce an old GTA truth: 416 and 905 don’t move in perfect lockstep.

• City of Toronto (416)

  • Higher share of condos and small homes.

  • Average prices skew upward because of luxury product downtown and in central neighbourhoods, but condo entry points remain more accessible than detached in many 905 communities.

  • Investor and renter demand are key drivers in this segment.

• 905 suburbs (Halton, Peel, York, Durham)

  • More ground-related product: detached, semi, and townhouses.

  • Price corrections tend to be more pronounced in boom-and-bust cycles because many move-up buyers are rate-sensitive and commute-sensitive.

  • At current prices and rates, some 905 markets now offer very compelling value relative to the peak, especially for families willing to commute or work hybrid.

One useful way to explain this to clients:

• If a buyer mainly cares about lifestyle, transit, and walkability, 416 condos and towns remain attractive, and the current price dip plus lower rates create opportunity.

• If they primarily care about space and land, many 905 communities now offer detached or large towns at prices that would have been impossible to imagine a few years ago.

What this means for buyers right now

For serious buyers, October 2025 looks like a window of opportunity, with three supportive conditions:

1. More listings and longer days on market
   Buyers can do proper due diligence: multiple showings, inspections, financing conditions, and sometimes even negotiating repairs or credits.

2. Soft but stable prices
   The market isn’t collapsing, but prices have clearly moved down from peak levels, especially compared with October 2024 and earlier years.

3. Lower borrowing costs than in 2023–early 2024
   With the policy rate at 2.25% and lenders gradually repricing mortgages, monthly payments on the same purchase price are easing. Bank of Canada

For your buyer clients, the right advice now is:

• Get fully pre-approved with a conservative budget.

• Focus on total monthly cost (mortgage + taxes + condo fees/maintenance), not just purchase price.

• Be prepared to walk away if the numbers don’t work; another listing is very likely coming.

• Use longer days on market as room to negotiate price, conditions, and closing date.

Remember that many sellers still anchor mentally to 2021–2022 numbers. Your job as their agent is to show them up-to-date comparables and explain where the market actually is today.

What this means for sellers right now

For sellers, October 2025 is not a doom-and-gloom story—but it requires strategy.

In a buyers’-leaning balanced market:

• Pricing correctly on day one is critical. Overpricing and “testing the market” often leads to multiple price cuts and a stale listing.

• Presentation matters more than ever: staging, professional photos, video, floor plans, and detailed feature sheets are no longer optional.

• Condo sellers need to pay attention to building competition, investor listings, and any new-build projects nearby offering incentives.

• Freehold sellers must understand that buyers have more choice and higher carrying costs; your property has to stand out on condition and value.

With months of inventory around the mid-4s and sales-to-new-listing ratio under 40%, this is a market where the best-presented and best-priced homes sell first, while others sit and chase the market down.

Your listing presentations can lean heavily on this message:

“We can’t control interest rates or the economy, but we can control price, presentation, and marketing. If we nail those three, you become one of the homes that sells in this market—not one that sits for months and then takes a big discount.”

Condos specifically: entry-level and investor strategy

Because condos play such a big role in the GTA, it’s worth calling them out separately in this blog.

First-time buyers:
Condos are still the most realistic ownership path for many households. With average prices lower than last year and rates coming down, the gap between rent and own is narrowing again in some buildings and neighborhoods. For clients paying high rent, a condo purchase at today’s prices with a properly structured mortgage can sometimes deliver similar monthly cost with equity build-up instead of rent.

Investors:
The picture is more nuanced:

• Cash flows are still tight for many units, depending on purchase price, mortgage rate, and rent levels.

• But price softening + lower rates can make select opportunities attractive, especially in high-demand rental pockets (near transit, schools, hospitals, or large employment nodes).

• Investors need to be extremely spread-focused: rent vs all carrying costs, plus a realistic view on future appreciation under a more normal interest-rate regime.

TRREB’s October condo stats show that volumes have cooled from last year, but the sector remains underpinned by population growth and limited new supply in the pipeline due to construction costs and cancelled projects. Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

How to talk about this with your clients

You can adapt a simple, client-friendly script from this blog for your calls, emails and videos:

• “Compared to last fall, we have fewer sales, more listings, and slightly lower prices. That means more options and more negotiating power if you’re buying—and more need for strong pricing and marketing if you’re selling.”

• “The Bank of Canada has cut rates again, but we’re not going back to near-zero rates. The new normal is moderate borrowing costs and moderate price growth.”

• “If you’re financially ready, this is the kind of market where you can make smart, patient decisions instead of rushing into a bidding war.”

Key takeaways

1. The GTA is in a buyers’-leaning balanced market. Sales are down, listings are up, and prices are trending lower than a year ago.

2. Rate cuts and moderating inflation are improving affordability, but economic uncertainty is still holding some buyers back.

3. Detached and semi prices have corrected the most from peak levels, especially in the 905, while condos remain the primary entry point for first-time buyers.

4. Sellers must be realistic and data-driven, especially on pricing and presentation, if they want to stand out.

5. Serious, well-qualified buyers have a rare opportunity to negotiate in a calmer market with more choice and less pressure.

It’s a lifestyle built around convenience and calm — ideal for anyone seeking balance.

8️⃣ Market Perspective – Value and Timing

The Brampton condo market continues to see strong fundamentals: population growth, infrastructure investment, and limited new supply in the mid-price range.

January 2026 will likely mark an active start to the year, as buyers return from the holidays to low inventory conditions.
Properties like this — well-maintained, all-inclusive, and move-in-ready — tend to attract multiple showings within days.

For investors, securing a property before spring demand surges can mean higher appreciation potential and faster rent-up.

Introduction: From Fog to Fresh Water

High in the arid hills above Lima and Arequipa, Peru, a quiet revolution is underway. Where rainfall is scarce and rivers are distant, engineers and villagers are working together to harvest water directly from the air. Their tool isn’t a machine or a pipe — it’s a net.

These vertical fog-catching systems, often several meters tall, stand like sentinels in the mist. The nets, sometimes coated with biomimetic materials such as cactus fiber, capture microscopic droplets from the air. The moisture condenses, drips into gutters, and is stored in tanks for drinking, irrigation, and livestock.

Each installation can collect 300–400 liters per day, and when scaled across dozens of nets, these systems can support entire communities. What began as a grassroots idea is now inspiring countries from Morocco and Chile to Namibia and India — all searching for new ways to survive water scarcity.

1. The Global Water Crisis — and Why Fog Matters

Water scarcity affects more than 2 billion people globally. Many live in regions that receive less than 250 mm of rain per year — technically deserts — yet remain rich in fog and humidity.
Peru’s Pacific coast is a textbook example: it’s one of the driest deserts in the world, but dense coastal fog, known locally as “garúa,” forms almost daily from May to November.

Traditional water systems fail here. Wells hit salty groundwater; rainfall is rare; and water trucks are expensive. For years, Lima’s poorest residents paid up to ten times more per liter for trucked water than wealthier neighborhoods with city connections.

So locals began to ask: if fog wets your clothes and coats the hills in dew, could it fill your buckets too?

2. How Fog Nets Work

Fog is essentially a cloud at ground level, made of tiny suspended water droplets. When this moist air passes through a fine mesh, droplets collide with the fibers, merge, and drip down.

A fog-harvesting system typically consists of:

• A vertical mesh panel, 4–10 m wide and several meters tall

• A collection trough at the base to channel water into storage

• Support poles and anchors to resist high winds

• Storage tanks for collected water

Studies by Otto Klemm et al. (Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology, 2012) found that each square meter of mesh can yield 3–10 liters of water per day under good conditions. That may sound small, but on a 40 m² system, it means 120–400 liters daily — enough for a household’s needs in rural Peru.

3. Lima’s Hills: Communities Leading Innovation

On Lima’s outskirts, thousands of families live in hillside settlements without running water. In Villa María del Triunfo, a network of fog catchers now stretches across the ridge — shimmering green against the brown desert.

Local NGO Movimiento Peruanos Sin Agua, founded by engineer Abel Cruz, has built over 600 fog collectors in the area. Each one costs around $600–800 USD and can provide up to 400 liters of water per day. The community uses the water for washing, irrigation, and — after filtration — drinking.

According to the London School of Economics (LSE) Latin America blog, just 23 fog catchers installed in 2020 provided over 10,000 liters per day for 60 residents, surpassing the World Health Organization’s recommended per-person water minimum of 50 liters daily.

4. The Science Behind the Nets

The efficiency of fog nets depends on climate, topography, and materials.

Ideal Conditions

• Frequent fog events (especially coastal or mountain fogs)

• Consistent wind speeds (3–10 m/s)

• Elevated terrain perpendicular to prevailing winds

Materials and Design

Modern fog nets use polypropylene Raschel mesh, which balances capture efficiency and drainage. Researchers have experimented with hydrophilic and cactus-inspired coatings, improving droplet adhesion and flow. The “CloudFisher” design, used in Morocco, withstands winds up to 120 km/h while capturing 30–60 liters per day per net.

In Peru, similar adaptations — including cactus fiber–based coatings and improved gutter systems — have increased yields and reduced maintenance. These biomimetic approaches echo the desert plants’ natural ability to collect dew.

5. Measured Impact: Data from the Field

These results demonstrate that fog nets can move beyond pilot projects and support long-term community infrastructure.

6. Social Dimensions: Ownership, Fairness, and Trust

As successful as the technology is, fog harvesting only endures when communities trust the process.

In earlier projects, lack of training or local ownership led to neglect and system failure. By contrast, Abel Cruz’s model prioritizes local leadership — training residents to install, maintain, and manage distribution.

The Frontiers in Water (2021) journal emphasized that social and institutional factors — governance, gender inclusion, and transparent management — are as vital as engineering performance.

This alignment of community, science, and policy fosters not only sustainability but trust — the cornerstone of any shared resource.

7. Beyond Peru: Fog Harvesting Around the World

Peru’s success has inspired similar efforts globally:

• Chile (Atacama Desert) – Pioneering fog-catching systems since the 1990s, generating up to 10,000 liters/day for local villages.

• Morocco (Mount Boutmezguida) – The world’s largest fog project supplies over 1,600 villagers with fresh water.

• Eritrea & Ethiopia – Pilot projects serve schools and pastoral communities.

• India (Rajasthan) – Researchers adapting CloudFisher models for monsoon off-seasons.

Globally, scientists estimate that scaling up fog collection in suitable zones could yield tens of millions of liters per day — enough to supplement water supply for hundreds of thousands of people.

8. Environmental and Economic Benefits

Environmental

• No energy input: Fog nets are passive, requiring no electricity.

• Carbon-neutral: No emissions from pumping or treatment.

• Ecosystem support: Restores vegetation and reduces soil erosion in fog-fed “lomas.”

Economic

• Low cost: $600–1,000 USD per collector, lasting 10+ years.

• Low maintenance: Simple cleaning and re-tensioning.

• Reduced dependence: Communities save up to 80% on purchased water.

Public Health

Access to clean water improves hygiene, reduces disease, and empowers women and children who often bear the burden of water collection.

9. Limitations and Real-World Challenges

Fog harvesting isn’t a silver bullet. Key limitations include:

• Seasonal variability: Lima’s fog season lasts about eight months; production drops during hot, dry periods.

• Maintenance needs: Dust, insects, and damage can reduce output.

• Water quality: Fog water must be tested for airborne pollutants before consumption.

• Scalability: Logistics for storage and distribution remain complex for larger populations.

Yet, despite these challenges, fog nets often provide a lifeline — especially in regions where no other sustainable water option exists.

10. Lessons for Policymakers and Planners

1. Assess microclimate data before investing — fog frequency and wind direction dictate success.

2. Incentivize local manufacturing of fog nets to reduce costs.

3. Integrate fog harvesting into water policy under climate adaptation strategies.

4. Create maintenance training programs and community management structures.

5. Provide micro-finance or subsidy models to empower self-installations.

Inclusion in national climate-resilience programs could bring fog-harvesting from niche innovation to mainstream sustainability.

11. The Cactus Connection: Nature Inspires Technology

Nature has long mastered water collection. In the Peruvian desert, cacti and desert beetles capture dew and fog using micro-grooved surfaces that channel water droplets toward their roots or mouths.

Engineers now mimic these surfaces using cactus fiber coatings or hydrophilic polymers on mesh nets. Early research from arXiv (2024) demonstrates that changing fiber shape and wettability dramatically improves droplet flow and reduces clogging.

By learning from desert plants, humans are building systems that can transform fog into fresh water more efficiently — using the same principles nature has used for millions of years.

12. A Model for Global Resilience

As climate change intensifies droughts, fog harvesting offers hope for communities from North Africa to South America.
It proves that sustainability doesn’t always require advanced technology — sometimes, it’s about harnessing what’s already in the air.

With proper design, community involvement, and long-term policy support, fog nets could supply millions of liters of clean water every day — helping nations achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Conclusion: Turning Mist into Trust

The fog nets of Peru aren’t just collecting water — they’re collecting trust, dignity, and independence.
They show that resilience begins not with wealth or infrastructure, but with ingenuity and cooperation. In a world growing hotter and drier, these green nets on desert hillsides stand as a powerful reminder: even in the absence of rain, there is always hope in the air.

Market overview

TRREB (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)’s September 2025 data show a GTA (Greater Toronto Area) market that is firmer on the sales side but still price-sensitive.

Ø  Sales rose 8.5% YoY (year over year) to 5,592,

Ø  New listings grew 4% YoY (year over year) to 19,260,

Ø  Active listings remained high at 29,394.

Ø  The average price settled at $1,059,377 (–4.7% YoY [year over year]),

Ø  MLS® HPI (Home Price Index) Composite declined 5.5% YoY (year over year).

On a seasonally adjusted basis, price levels were flat to slightly down (HPI –0.5% MoM [month over month]; average price +0.2% MoM [month over month]). In short: more deals are getting done after the Sept 17 BoC (Bank of Canada) rate cut to 2.50%, but buyers still have leverage. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

Price, sales, and listings trends (YoY [year over year] and MoM [month over month])

• Sales: 5,592 (Sep-25) vs 5,155 (Sep-24): +8.5% YoY (year over year). Lower borrowing costs combined with accumulated demand from spring/summer helped momentum. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• New listings: 19,260 (Sep-25), +4% YoY (year over year); SNLR (Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio) ≈ 34.6%, indicating conditions favourable to buyers in many sub-markets. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• Active listings: 29,394, sustaining MOI (Months of Inventory) ≈ 4.6, a level historically consistent with balanced to slightly buyer-tilted conditions. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• Prices: Average price $1,059,377 (–4.7% YoY [year over year]);

• HPI (Home Price Index) Composite –5.5% YoY (year over year);

• MoM (month over month): HPI –0.5%, average +0.2% —. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

Market pace & absorption

• LDOM (Listing Days on Market) ~33;

• PDOM (Property Days on Market) ~51:

  • Listings take about a month, but cumulative time for re-listed properties is longer. That corroborates a bid-ask gap that narrows via price adjustments or concessions. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

Segment breakdown (Detached / Semi / Town / Condo)

• Detached: $1,359,030 average  [Toronto Regional Real Estate Board] total) on 2,661 sales. Freehold remains the “needs-based” segment; pricing is micro-neighbourhood specific with bigger swings in luxury bands. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• Semi-detached: $1,297,830 on 506 sales — smaller sample sizes create more volatility; well-renovated semis in the 416 (Toronto core area code) continue to command premiums. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• Townhouse (att/row): $1,015,543 on 517 sales — the “missing middle” alternative offers price efficiency but competes with detached at the margin when rates ease. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

• Condo apartment: $681,115 on 1,437 sales — the price leader for entry buyers and investors, but facing inventory pressure and investor cash-flow math. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)

City (416) vs 905 notes

416 (Toronto core) condo pricing is modestly higher than 905 (surrounding GTA suburbs) (e.g., condo apartment $681,115 in 416 vs $653,407 in 905 during September), reflecting location premiums and amenity density. Freehold premiums persist in central corridors with constrained lot supply. (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board)
