2 w. ago Here's how much home prices have fallen in Toronto amid real estate slump

Toronto's property market — long one of the most competitive and overvalued in not just the country, but the entire world — has completely hit a wall under the pressures of heightened interest rates and costs of living, tariffs, and economic tumult.Amid paltry home-buying activity and a constant flow of new listings, real estate prices have, naturally, sunk, with the GTA now serving as one of only three major hubs where the cost of the average house, condo or townhome has fallen over the last year.According to real estate listing site Wahi, the Canadian market at large is "holding steady," all things considered, with the exception of Toronto, Vancouver, and Hamilton — all markets that are known for being red-hot."The Canadian housing market entered a holding pattern this August as the RPS-Wahi House Price Index was once again flat relative to the same month a year ago, although the pace of condo depreciation on an an...

3 w. ago Toronto is the only major Canadian city where 'rental burden' is easing

If you couldn't tell by all of the rent incentives and declining monthly rates, tenants in Ontario are breathing a little easier lately as the market cools down, especially in Toronto.Condos in particular are no longer the boon to investors that they once were, and it seems that the downturn of the city's real estate market is translating over to rentals, too, with ample supply, far less fervent demand and other factors continuing to push prices lower pretty much across the board.Multiple reports have outlined how the cost of an ordinary unit in the 6ix (and other parts of the region) has gradually decreased, most recently to $2,618 — marking a 3.3 per cent drop from this time last year — according to the most recent numbers from Urbanation and Rentals.ca.The two firms crunch the numbers each month in their joint National Rent Report, and the recently released September edition bolsters a point that other authorities have recently made: that&n...
