Stay Informed from home prices to buyer trends across the GTA

Toronto Housing Trends June 2025

The Toronto housing market showed subtle but important shifts this June. While homeownership has become slightly more affordable thanks to lower prices and borrowing costs, many buyers are still taking a cautious approach due to ongoing economic uncertainty.

Let’s break down what’s happening with housing trends in the Greater Toronto Area and what it means for buyers, sellers, and homeowners.

 

Housing affordability in Toronto and the GTA is improving.

home Affordability Is Improving, but Hesitation Remains

In June 2025, homeownership in the GTA became a little more attainable. Both average selling prices and mortgage borrowing costs remained below June 2024 levels, offering some relief for potential buyers.

However, despite some positive month-over-month movement, many would-be homeowners stayed on the sidelines. Ongoing concerns about the economy continue to make buyers hesitant to make major financial decisions.

Home Sales Down Year-Over-Year, But Rising Month-Over-Month

REALTORS® in the GTA reported 6,243 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in June 2025, which is a 2.4% decrease compared to June 2024.

However, on a seasonally adjusted basis, sales increased compared to May 2025, continuing the slow recovery we’ve seen since the spring. This momentum suggests that while buyers are cautious, some are starting to re-enter the market.

Listings on the Rise, Prices on the Decline

New listings increased by 7.7% year-over-year, with 19,839 properties entering the market in June. This higher inventory gives buyers more options and more negotiating power—an important shift in recent housing trends.

Looking Ahead: What Could Boost Confidence?

Experts say that economic stability will be key to turning market momentum into long-term growth. In particular, a strong trade deal with the U.S. and additional interest rate cuts could make a real difference in consumer confidence and housing affordability.
