Activity Up, Prices Soft — What Smart Sellers Need to Know
The Greater Toronto Area housing market saw its strongest July performance since 2021, with 6,100 homes sold — up 10.9% year-over-year — as more buyers returned to the market. Sales also jumped 13% month-over-month, marking the second straight month of rising activity.
However, average selling prices remained lower at $1,051,719 — down 5.5% year-over-year — and the MLS® Home Price Index benchmark edged down 0.2% from June.
More listings also came to market (17,613 new listings, +5.7% YoY), giving buyers more choice and negotiating power.
Translation for Sellers: Sales are happening — and in some areas at a brisk pace — but the properties moving are the ones priced competitively for today’s conditions. Overpricing in hopes of “testing the market” often results in longer days on market and eventual price reductions.
