Toronto & Etobicoke Real Estate Market Update
The latest numbers have been reported by The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) for February 2025. Homebuyers in Toronto and Etobicoke continued to enjoy plenty of options in the resale market as February saw lower home sales compared to the same time last year. Listing inventory remained high, giving buyers stronger negotiating power.
What can we expect going into the spring market? Check out this month’s Toronto & Etobicoke Real Estate Market Update for a full breakdown of where the market was last month and where it might be headed.
“Many households in the GTA are eager to purchase a home, but current mortgage rates make it difficult for the average household to comfortably afford monthly payments on a typical property. Fortunately, we anticipate a decline in borrowing costs in the coming months, which should improve affordability,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.
What This Means for You
“On top of lingering affordability concerns, homebuyers have arguably become less confident in the economy. Uncertainty about our trade relationship with the United States has likely prompted some households to take a wait-and-see attitude towards buying a home. If trade uncertainty is alleviated and borrowing costs continue to trend lower, we could see much stronger home sales activity in the second half of this year,” said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.
Further interest rate policies and economic conditions will be key factors in determining whether buyer demand can keep pace with growing inventory.
