So here’s the scoop: The Canadian Real Estate Association forecast, home sales across Canada were expected to stay fairly steady in 2025. But what’s interesting is what’s happening behind those numbers.
In Ontario, sales were up about 4.7% in 2024, showing that buyers are still out there and the market’s active. But CREA predicted a slight dip of 3.7% in 2025 and predicts a BIG time bounce back in 2026 with over 10% growth in sales. (See chart above)
Now even though the number of homes changing hands might look stable, there’s been a significant adjustment in prices. Higher interest rates and affordability pressures have forced both buyers and sellers to rethink their moves. Sellers are having to get more realistic about pricing, while buyers are watching closely for good opportunities as the market rebalances.
In other words it’s not a “hot” market or a “cold” one… it’s a smart market.
📉 Prices have adjusted significantly.
📈 Demand is still there.
💡 Strategy matters more than ever.
