Toronto Sales Rise After Six Months

Greater Toronto resale tightened in Late-Q1 2026 as buyers returned. Sales reached 5,039, ↑1.7% yearly, while lower prices and steady borrowing costs revived demand.
Supply shrank faster than demand improved. New listings ↓16.7% yearly to 14,442, while avg. prices ↓6.7% to ~$1M and the benchmark ↓7.4%.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, sales and listings both edged higher MoM from Mid-Q1, but transactions increased slightly faster than incoming supply.
Detached homes led activity across Greater Toronto. In Toronto, detached avg. prices stayed >$1.6M, while condo apartments logged >2K sales at under $800K.
In the 905 belt, detached homes averaged low-$1.3M. Condo apartments traded at roughly half that, while townhouses and semis filled the missing middle.
