Spring 2025 Real Estate Market in the GTA

A Season of Balance and Opportunity

As the blossoms return and the days grow longer, momentum in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market also grows. Spring 2025 is shaping up to be a season of balance—rising inventory, moderate price movement, and growing buyer confidence. Whether entering the market or planning your next move, understanding this spring’s dynamics is key.

Market Snapshot

According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), 76,000 home sales are forecasted for 2025, up 12.4% from 2024. The average selling price is expected to reach $1,147,000, marking a 2.6% increase from the previous year.

In March 2025, the average GTA home price was $1,093,254, down 2.5% year-over-year but slightly up from February. The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark was $1,068,500—down 3.8% compared to March 2024 (WOWA.ca).

Inventory Is Up — Giving Buyers More Choice

After a quieter 2024, the GTA is experiencing a surge in listings, giving buyers the upper hand for the first time in years. That said, some sellers are still holding on to outdated price expectations, so strategic evaluation is crucial.

💡 Tip: In a shifting market, accurate pricing and strong representation make all the difference.

Segment Insights: Detached Homes & Condos

Detached homes now average $1.44M, down 1.9% from March 2024.
Semi-detached and townhomes have seen moderate dips.
Condo apartments are averaging $682,000, a 2.6% year-over-year drop, creating great entry points for first-time buyers.

Downtown condos, in particular, are becoming a buyer-friendly segment with increased inventory and softer investor demand.

Mortgage Rates Offer Breathing Room

Fixed mortgage rates in Ontario are hovering around 3.79% for a 3-year term, significantly lower than in 2023 (WOWA.ca).

However, ongoing economic uncertainty, including global trade and inflation—means both buyers and sellers should remain flexible and forward-thinking.

Focus on Oakville & Burlington

In Oakville and Burlington, real estate activity is steadily picking up. Buyers are taking advantage of increased listings, while sellers are finding success with well-priced and well-presented homes.

These lakeside communities remain highly desirable for their blend of lifestyle, education, and access to Toronto. Demand continues for homes with multifunctional layouts, finished basements, and outdoor space.
