Markham’s July 2025 market data shows both stability and opportunity, depending on the property type. According to TRREB:

• Average GTA sale price: $1,051,719 (down 5.5% YoY)

• Detached: $1,678,690 (+1.09% MoM, -7.26% YoY) – 29 days on market

• Semi-detached: $1,091,923 (-6.55% MoM, -18.36% YoY) – 29 days on market

• Townhouses: $1,070,782 (-5.82% MoM, -11.01% YoY) – 30 days on market

• Condo townhomes: $785,269 (-0.02% MoM, -13.54% YoY) – 33 days on market

• Condo apartments: $690,334 (-1.12% MoM, -10.01% YoY) – 32 days on market

For Sellers:
Detached homes remain a standout, with a modest price gain month-over-month and strong sales activity. With GTA inventory up 26.2% year-over-year, acting now could help you get ahead of increasing competition.

For Buyers & Investors:
Price adjustments in semi-detached, townhomes, and condos improve affordability. Investors should take note of the exemptions that allow non-residents to purchase multi-unit buildings, vacant land, and recreational properties — all with potential for strong returns.

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) housing market is heating up again — and July 2025 delivered the strongest sales results for this month since 2021.

Here’s what the latest TRREB stats reveal:

• Sales up 10.9% year-over-year — 6,100 homes sold

• New listings up 5.7% — less inventory growth compared to buyer demand

• Average price: $1,051,719 — 5.5% lower than last year, improving affordability

• Market tightening — sales-to-listings ratio increasing, benefiting sellers

Why Sellers Should Act Now:
With sales growing faster than listings, sellers are facing less competition and more motivated buyers. Even though prices have dipped from last year, a tightening market can lead to stronger offers — especially with interest rates gradually easing.

Opportunities for Buyers & Investors:
Lower borrowing costs are making homeownership and investment more achievable. Non-residents can still purchase multi-unit buildings (4+ units), vacant land, and recreational properties — all of which hold long-term potential in the GTA and surrounding areas.

On July 30, two key central banks—the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve—opted to hold their overnight lending rates. It wasn’t a surprise: economists, analysts, and insiders had already priced in a "no change" call.

Why the Hold?

• Inflation is showing only minor movement—what the BoC calls "bobbing" behavior.

• Employment levels remain strong, though much of the recent growth is in part-time positions.

• Trade tariffs and global uncertainties continue to dominate headlines, keeping central banks cautious.

Rather than make premature moves, the Bank of Canada is looking for clearer signals before acting.

What Happens Next?

Many analysts predict a rate cut before year-end, with some suggesting as early as September. But for now, the central banks are opting for a wait-and-see strategy.

How This Affects You

• Homeowners with variable-rate mortgages will see no change—for now.

• Buyers and sellers have more predictability to plan their next move.

• Those considering refinancing may benefit from acting during this stable window.

• Investors should keep an eye on fall market shifts.

In a world of economic uncertainty, sometimes “no change” brings the most clarity.

If you’re unsure what this means for your specific situation—whether buying, renewing, or refinancing—I’m here to guide you through it.

As always, I’m committed to Making A Difference For You.

The Toronto real estate market showed key signs of recovery in June 2025, though overall prices and sales are still trending below last year’s levels.

The average selling price across the GTA was $1,101,691, representing a 5.4% year-over-year decline, but affordability has improved as borrowing costs ease. Detached homes remain in demand, averaging 24 days on market, with over 3,000 units sold last month.

According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the market is seeing a 30%+ increase in listings, giving buyers more choice and room to negotiate. Sellers, on the other hand, are navigating a more competitive landscape—but those who price right and leverage expert marketing are still seeing results.

The key takeaway? This is a transitional market, ideal for strategic moves. Sellers can capitalize on low inventory in key pockets, while buyers and investors benefit from softer prices and favorable financing.

Markham's real estate market showed signs of healthy movement in April 2025, as reported by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB).

Detached homes rose 3.48% month-over-month to an average of $1,694,639, a potential signal of buyer confidence returning. However, prices remain down 7.46% year-over-year, which offers buyers a more affordable entry compared to last spring.

Semi-detached properties held stable at $1,211,891, while condo townhouses jumped 5.59% month-over-month — averaging $939,982, one of the few segments with year-over-year growth (+2.65%).

With over 27,000 active listings across the GTA, buyers have a wide selection to choose from. Sellers, on the other hand, must price and position strategically to stand out in a more balanced market.
