📊 GTA Market Update: November 2026 (October results)

Buyers, you have more negotiating room than you might think. Sellers, there’s less competition from other listings. Here’s what October looked like across the GTA:

🏡 5,603 sales, down 7.9% from last October
💲 $1,024,108 average price, down 2.7% (benchmark down 4.3%)
📋 New listings down 11.9% and active listings down 10%

Different home types are behaving very differently:
✅ Semi-detached: 101% of asking, about 22 days to sell
✅ Freehold townhomes: 99% of asking
⚖️ Detached: 97% of asking
🔑 Condo apartments: 97% of asking, about 38 days, which leaves the most room to negotiate

Seasonally adjusted, sales and prices both edged up from September. One month doesn’t make a trend, but we’re watching it closely.

On rates, posted 5-year mortgage rates averaged 6.19% in October. That’s not what most qualified borrowers actually pay, so get a real quote before you decide you’re priced out.

The sign went up today. The work started months ago. 🏡

JUST LISTED: 381 Shaw Street
📍 Trinity-Bellwoods | $1,095,000

This one has been a journey—negotiating mutually agreed move-outs with two sets of tenants, coordinating repairs and inspections, and organizing the cleanup to bring it to market.

There’s a lot that happens before the “For Sale” sign goes up. Helping owners navigate those steps is a big part of what I do, and it’s exciting to see this home ready for its next chapter.

Now fully vacant, this 2.5-storey semi steps from College and Ossington offers plenty of room for your vision:

✨ Currently configured as two units
✨ Deep 127-foot lot
✨ Detached 1.5-car garage with laneway access
✨ Rooftop terrace
✨ Opportunity to renovate and make it your own

What would you envision here—a spacious family home or a refreshed two-unit layout? Let me know in the comments!

🏡 OPEN HOUSE
Saturday, November 7 & Sunday, November 8
2–4 PM

If you've been reading the headlines, you probably think the market is slow right now.

September numbers just came out. Across the GTA, sales were down 9% from last year and the average price dropped 5% to just over $1 million. TRREB says buyers are "in a holding pattern."

But here's what happened in some Toronto neighbourhoods last month:

🏡 Leslieville and Riverdale: homes sold for 109% of asking
🏡 The Beaches: the average home sold in 12 days
🏡 Roncesvalles and High Park: 104% of asking
🏡 The Junction and High Park North: 103% of asking, in 18 days

Same month, same interest rates, same economy. So why the difference?

It comes down to how many homes are for sale. In those neighbourhoods, there's less than 3 months' worth of listings on the market. In York Region it's 5 months, and in Simcoe almost 6. When there are fewer homes to choose from, buyers compete, even when the overall market is quiet.

A few other things worth knowing from September:
• Semi-detached prices held steady, and in Toronto they actually went up 2.1%
• Condos were the softest, down 7.7% from last year
• The Bank of Canada held its rate at 2.3%

So what does that mean for you?

If you're buying, you have room to negotiate in a lot of the GTA right now. In the busy pockets, expect competition and have your financing fully approved before you start.

If you're selling, fewer competing listings is good news, as long as your price matches what's actually sold near you recently, not what homes sold for last year.

The GTA average isn't your number. Your street is.

Curious what sold near you in September? Send me a message with your street name and I'll send you the numbers. No pressure, just the facts.

Congratulations to my clients on the sale of 195 Grace St., Toronto! 🎉

After many years as an investment rental property, this sale required thoughtful planning and diligent tenant negotiations to prepare for offers. Much of that work happened behind the scenes, where patience, persistence and careful attention to detail made all the difference.

The result: multiple offers and a strong sale price my clients are very happy with.

Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process. It’s been a pleasure helping you close this chapter and move forward.

🏡 SOLD OVER ASKING—but the most important work happened before the sign ever went up.

When my clients hired me to sell 10 Havelock St., it was a tenanted three-unit property with several moving parts. Simply listing it “as is” would not have delivered the result they deserved.

We developed a complete strategy:

✅ Negotiated respectful cash-for-keys agreements with the tenants
✅ Coordinated repairs and preparation throughout the property
✅ Positioned and marketed the home to attract the right buyers
✅ Generated strong interest and multiple offers
✅ Negotiated a firm sale over the asking price

The real success belongs to my clients. They trusted the process, made thoughtful decisions and gave me the opportunity to manage the details from beginning to end.

Selling a tenanted or multi-unit property can feel overwhelming—but with the right preparation and strategy, complexity can become opportunity.

Congratulations to my sellers on an outstanding result! 🎉

If you owned a tenanted property, what would be your biggest concern about selling it?

Let me know in the comments—or send me a private message if you’d prefer a confidential conversation.
