TREB Market Summary

April home sales followed the regular seasonal trend with an increase relative to March. However, total residential transactions in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) were down compared to the same time last year, as potential buyers continue to wait for lower borrowing costs and certainty about the trajectory of the economy. 

“Following the recent federal election, many households across the GTA are closely monitoring the evolution of our trade relationship with the United States. If this relationship moves in a positive direction, we could see an uptick in transactions driven by improved consumer confidence and a market that is both more affordable and better supplied,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

 GTA REALTORS® reported 5,601 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in April 2025 – down by 23.3 percent compared to April 2024. New listings in the MLS® System amounted to 18,836– up by 8.1 percent year-over-year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, April home sales edged up month-over-month compared to March 2025. 

The MLS® Home Price Index Composite benchmark was down by 5.4 percent year-over-year in April 2025. The average selling price, at $1,107,463, was down by 4.1 percent compared to April 2024. On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis, the average selling price was down. 

“Inventory levels remained elevated historically in April, pointing to substantial choice for households looking to purchase a home in the GTA. Buyers took advantage of this choice when negotiating purchase prices, which resulted in a lower average price across market segments compared to last year. Lower prices coupled with lower borrowing costs translated into more affordable monthly mortgage payments,” said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.

 Please note: The PropTx MLS® System, of which TRREB is a part, has added several new client boards over the last year. Many of these boards' Members trade within the Greater Toronto Area and broader Greater Golden Horseshoe regions. As a result, historical data have been updated to reflect the addition of these boards' listings and transactions. This means historical data have changed relative to previously published static reports.
