Ontario’s housing market continues to shift, creating new opportunities for buyers while demanding more strategy from sellers.

September 2025 Snapshot:

  • Average resale price: ~$781,500, down 6.7% YoY (nesto.ca).

  • Sales activity: 14,349 units sold, up 7.3%, showing that buyers are active but more selective.

  • Inventory: Over 74,000 listings on the market.

  • Months of inventory: 5.2 months, pushing the market closer to balanced and in some pockets, buyer-leaning territory.

What This Means Now

For Buyers:
With so much choice, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or overthink. But hesitation can cost you strong properties at excellent prices. Conditions, negotiations, and flexibility are all on your side use them wisely.

For Sellers:
Patience and strategy are essential. Today’s buyers want value, clarity, and confidence. Pricing correctly, presenting well, and staying open to realistic offers is what gets deals done in this climate.

Sade's Timing Insight:
The fall window before November/December slowdown is still one of the best times to list.
And buyers who move before the winter lull often secure the best deals.
