Toronto & Etobicoke Real Estate Market Update Spring 2025

 
Spring is officially here—the days are longer, the tulips are peeking through, and if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering how it’s already time to buy mini eggs and hide them, or just eat them yourself! 🙂
 
In this edition of your Toronto and Etobicoke Real Estate Market Update, I’m diving into the numbers from March and wrapping up the first quarter of 2025. While there’s still some economic uncertainty in the air (hello, tariffs), the GTA real estate market is showing some encouraging signs—especially for buyers who’ve been waiting for a bit more breathing room.
 
Let’s take a look at what’s shifting and what it may mean for you.

According to the latest numbers reported by The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) for March 2025. Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices have declined over the past year, making monthly payments more manageable for households looking to buy a home. Homebuyers in Toronto and Etobicoke continued to enjoy plenty of options in the resale market as March saw an increase in active listings of 20.1% from February.  

What can we expect as we move deeper into the spring market? Keep reading to find out more in this month’s Toronto & Etobicoke Real Estate Market Update and find out what it may look like for you if you are thinking about buying or selling a home in the near future.

GTA REALTORS® reported 5,011 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in March 2025 – down by 23.1 % compared to March 2024. New listings in the MLS® System amounted to 17,263 – up by 28.6% year-over-year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, March sales were down month-over-month compared to February 2025. The current amount of inventory is well above the ten year average as oversupply continues from February. 
 
The average cost of a home in Toronto and Etobicoke rose to $1,093,254 up 5% from January’s low and 1% month over month. Comparing to March 2024 however, prices are 2.5% lower.

“Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power. Once consumers feel confident in the economy and their job security, home buying activity should improve,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING

The GTA real estate market is picking up this spring, with more buyers starting to jump back in. With borrowing costs a bit lower and prices slightly down from last year, homeownership is feeling a little more within reach again.
 
Monthly mortgage payments are more manageable for many households, opening the door for more buyers to get back into the market. With more rate cuts expected soon, it could be the perfect time to make your move—whether you’re buying your first place, moving up, or downsizing.
