Fall 2025 Real Estate Market: A “Wait and See” Season
This fall, Canada’s housing market is all about wait and see. The spring was flat, and most experts predict a 1.7–3.2% price decline, while a few remain optimistic.
What’s Shaping the Market?
-
Affordability: With average resale prices in Ontario near $795,300, many buyers are stepping back.
-
Uncertainty: Trade disputes, higher unemployment, and slower growth are weighing on demand.
-
Rentals Rising: More condo completions mean softer rental rates, reducing pressure to buy.
-
Fewer New Builds: High costs and weaker demand are slowing construction.
Interest Rates
The Bank of Canada paused cuts in April, leaving many unsure. Some buyers waiting for drops are instead facing fixed-rate increases — a reminder not to wait too long.
Who’s Still Buying?
-
Millennials moving closer to work.
-
Renewals rethinking needs — downsizing or upsizing while avoiding penalties.
Bottom Line
Opportunities exist in the resale market, where supply is up and rates remain reasonable.
