What the Numbers Really Say as We Close the Year
As 2025 comes to a close, the Greater Toronto Area housing market is showing clear signs of recalibration rather than collapse. December’s data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reveals a market that has slowed from peak years but is now finding balance between buyers and sellers.
This is not a market driven by panic or frenzy — it’s a measured, data-driven environment where pricing, expectations, and negotiation are all adjusting.
🔢 GTA Market Snapshot – December 2025
Across all TRREB areas, December recorded:
Sales: 3,697
Average Sale Price: $1,006,735
Median Price: $871,250 (varies by property type)
New Listings: 4,056
Active Listings: Elevated across all segments
Average Days on Market (LDOM): ~39–46 days depending on type
Average Sale-to-List Price Ratio: ~96%–98%
This confirms one key theme:
👉 Homes are selling, but pricing precision matters more than ever.
🏠 Market Conditions by Property Type
Detached Homes
Prices remain the highest, but activity is selective
Buyers are patient and highly price-sensitive
Overpricing leads directly to longer market time
Townhouses (Freehold & Condo)
One of the most resilient segments
Strong appeal for move-up buyers and downsizers
Sale-to-list ratios remain relatively firm
Condo Apartments
Highest inventory levels
Longer days on market
Buyers have negotiation leverage, especially on older buildings
📉 Price Trends & MLS® Home Price Index
The MLS® Home Price Index shows year-over-year declines across most regions, generally ranging between -5% and -10%, depending on location and property type.
This is not a crash.
It is a correction from unsustainable highs seen in earlier years.
🔍 What This Means Going Into 2026
The market is stable but unforgiving to unrealistic pricing
Sellers must compete on price, presentation, and marketing
Buyers can negotiate — but well-priced homes still sell
📌 Bottom line:
December 2025 closes the year with a market that rewards clarity, strategy, and preparation — not guesswork.
