The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) housing market continues to shift, offering more opportunities for buyers and investors while sellers need to be strategic about when to list. With a 76% increase in inventory year-over-year, homebuyers now have more negotiating power than ever before. Here’s a closer look at the February 2025 market trends and what they mean for you.

Market Highlights: February 2025

• Average GTA Home Price: $1,084,547 (down 2.2% YoY)
• Detached Homes: $1,445,879 (+4.97% MoM)
• Semi-Detached Homes: $1,079,996 (+3.08% MoM)
• Condo Apartments: $688,055 (+2.59% MoM)
• Overall Inventory: 19,536 listings (up 76% YoY)

What This Means for Sellers

With higher inventory levels, standing out is key. While some homeowners are waiting for lower interest rates to bring back more buyers, listing now means less competition and more serious buyers. If rates drop later this year, prices may increase—but waiting means facing more competition from other sellers.

What This Means for Buyers & Investors

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, this is it! More listings = more negotiating power. As borrowing costs are expected to decline later this year, securing a better price now before demand surges could be a smart move. Investors should also take note of lower condo and townhome prices, which present great opportunities for rental properties.
