So what's happening in the Toronto real estate market as of March 2025?
Let’s start with a Macroeconomics view
To understand what’s happening in the real estate market you have to look at supply and demand.
The best proxies for supply and demand are:
Supply
New supply: New Listings (i.e. the number of homes recently listed for sale)
Total supply: Inventory (i.e. the total number of homes listed for sale)
Demand
Sales (i.e. the number of homes recently sold)
Supply & Demand
Months of Supply (i.e. the number of months it would take to sell all current inventory at the current rate of sale)
These metrics are the best indicators of the health of the real estate market. Let’s look at what they show us.
Overall Toronto Market
Toronto is seeing a major shift, with sales plunging 37%, while inventory has surged 68%. Months of supply has more than doubled (+116%), clearly indicating a buyer’s market forming. Despite this, the benchmark price has still risen 5.1% year-over-year, driven by previous momentum. However, with an 11.78% month-over-month price surge, this market is extremely volatile.
Toronto's Detached Homes
Sales for detached homes have fallen 38%, yet prices have still risen 9.81% year-over-year to $1,635,700. A massive 15.91% month-over-month spike suggests short-term speculation, but with inventory up 66% and months of supply up 119%, buyers now have far more choices. A correction could be on the horizon if demand does not return.
Toronto's Condominiums
Condo sales have dropped 39%, while inventory has ballooned 70%. Prices have declined 2.87% year-over-year and 0.55% month-over-month, signaling that this segment is facing headwinds. Investors and first-time buyers may start seeing better deals, but further price declines remain a strong possibility.
Toronto's Semi-detached homes
Semi-detached homes have fared better, with sales down 29%, but prices still up 1.94% year-over-year. A 10.11% month-over-month increase suggests some resilience, but rising inventory (+61%) means that sellers will face increasing competition.
