Toronto's real estate market may finally be seeing progressively more sales after a months-long slump, but the industry is still nowhere close to its usual frenzied pace — and it's buyers who are reaping the rewards.With so many properties available and activity for some housing types (read: condos) dropping to unheard-of lows in 2024, some are taking advantage of lower interest rates and higher negotiating power to ease into what still remains a vastly overpriced market.And, as unaffordable as property remains, many are nabbing homes for cheaper than their list price, contrary to the bidding wars of yore.According to the latest report from real estate platform Wahi, which keeps tabs on selling versus asking prices in the region each month, an incredible 93 per cent of GTA neighbourhoods were in "underbidding" territory in December, meaning most sellers accepted lower offers than they were hoping.When looking at condos specifically, this figu...
