Toronto Real Estate Market Overview – November 2025

November brought a calm, steady pace to the Toronto real estate market. Activity slowed, but largely because fewer sellers listed their homes—not because buyer demand dropped. With inventory tightening across the GTA, prices remained stable and buyers navigated the market with more intention as the year approached its close.

Why Freehold Homes Under $1.5M Are Still in High Demand

One of the strongest-performing segments this month was freehold homes priced between $1M and $1.5M. These properties continue to attract families moving up from condos, investors looking for long-term value, and buyers who want space without entering the luxury price tier.Move-in-ready homes, those with rental potential, or those located near transit saw the most activity despite the overall market slowdown.

Condo and Townhome Trends Across the GTA

Condos experienced a slight pullback in sales after October’s momentum, but pricing remained stable—reflecting confidence among both first-time buyers and investors.Townhomes softened only slightly and continued to appeal to buyers seeking more room without the full cost of a detached home. Overall, both segments showed resilience despite

seasonal slowing.

How Lower Mortgage Rates Are Shaping Buyer Confidence

With gradual improvements in mortgage rates, many buyers renewing pre-approvals in late 2025 saw more favourable numbers than in recent years. This shift helped maintain activity even as inventory contracted.Updated housing policies and gentle-density permissions also encouraged investors who are prioritizing properties with multi-unit or income-generating potential.

Why GTA Buyers Are Turning to New Developments and Pre-Construction Homes

As resale inventory tightened, more buyers shifted toward new communities and pre-construction opportunities for better pricing, incentives, longer closing timelines, and a more predictable buying experience.Through NewGTAHomes, buyers gain direct access to upcoming launches, VIP allocations, and builder partnerships that provide options resale listings cannot match this season.

As mortgage rates stabilize, early 2026 is expected to bring increased buyer activity.Pre-construction developments, custom-build projects, and new communities in growth areas—including Richmond Hill, Oakville, Aurora, Lindsay, and Scarborough—are positioned to outperform as inventory continues to tighten.
