Toronto Falls Into Moderate Bubble Risk
Toronto’s real estate market has seen a dramatic shift, with a global wealth manager now ranking our city among the weakest major housing markets. Home prices have dropped by approximately 11% over the past year—the sharpest decline among 23 cities reviewed. From 2014 to 2022, Toronto’s real home prices doubled, fueled by rapid population growth, strong investor interest, and a robust construction sector. But since 2022, higher interest rates, the introduction of a foreign-buyer ban, and increased housing supply have contributed to a nearly 30% decline from the market peak.
According to the report, Toronto now falls into a moderate bubble-risk category, largely because this correction has helped close the gap between home prices and what most residents can afford. Looking ahead, the outlook suggests continued near-term price pressure as inventory rises, growth slows, and the potential for further rate hikes keeps many buyers cautious.
