Local real estate sales plummet 14% year over year
- In April 2025, the number of properties sold across the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board’s jurisdiction declined by 23.3 percent compared to the previous year, totaling 5,601 transactions.
- This decline followed ongoing economic uncertainty and a recent federal election, with many households monitoring the Canada-U.S. Trade relationship.
- New listings rose 8.1 percent to 18,836 properties while active listings increased 54 percent to 27,386, and the average selling price fell 5.4 percent to $1,107,463.
- TRREB president Elechia Barry-Sproule noted that if trade relations between Canada and the U.S. Improve, an increase in home sales may result from enhanced consumer confidence along with a more affordable and well-supplied market.
- Prices dropped for the third consecutive month and the market may remain soft until economic confidence stabilizes, suggesting a slow housing rebound ahead.
