The Toronto real estate market began 2025 with a continued buyer’s market, providing more opportunities for those looking to purchase. Here’s an overview of the current market landscape this January:
Declining Home Prices
The average home price in Toronto has seen a slight decrease compared to last year, reflecting a more balanced market with increased inventory. Condos are now much more accessible, offering a wider range of options for buyers.
Market Trends
Increased Inventory: More homes are hitting the market, giving buyers greater selection and reducing the urgency to bid aggressively.
Room for Negotiation: Sellers are more open to negotiations on price and conditions, creating opportunities for buyers to secure favourable deals.
Focus on Value: Buyers are prioritizing properties with updated features and strong long-term investment potential, particularly in up-and-coming neighbourhoods.
Interest Rates Impact
Declining interest rates have spurred renewed buyer confidence, creating a more favorable environment for those ready to enter the market. With borrowing power on the rise and increased inventory, buyers now have an excellent opportunity to secure value in a changing market.
Advice for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers: Take advantage of the increased inventory and lower competition to explore more options and negotiate the best deal. I can guide you through the entire home buying process and identify properties with strong potential for future appreciation.
For Sellers: With more homes on the market, it’s important to stand out. Invest in professional staging, competitive pricing, and high-quality marketing to attract buyers. Be prepared to negotiate and consider offers with flexible terms.
