The TRREB Market Watch for October 2025 reveals a housing market adjusting to new realities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). While the fall season brought steady activity, the combination of higher inventory and longer selling times suggests a more balanced environment, one where buyers are regaining leverage and sellers must adapt strategically.

Year-Over-Year Highlights

Compared to October 2024, the GTA real estate market saw notable shifts:

• Sales: 6,138 (-9.5%)
• New Listings: 16,069 (+2.7%)
• Active Listings: 27,808 (+17.2%)
• Average Price: $1,054,372 (-7.2%)
• Average Listing Days on Market (LDOM): 31 days (+14.8%)
• Average Property Days on Market (PDOM): 50 days (+16.3%)

Despite fewer transactions and slightly higher listing volumes, buyers are benefitting from more options and greater negotiating power. For sellers, competition is intensifying making presentation, pricing, and promotion more critical than ever.
