As the snow melts and the days grow longer, spring traditionally brings a bustling period for Canadian real estate. However, the 2025 spring market is unfolding differently, marked by a notable slowdown in activity.

According to the (TREBB) In April, the GTA witnessed a 23.3% decline in home sales compared to the same month last year. The average selling price dipped by 4.1% year-over-year to approximately $1.107 million, continuing a trend of price softening observed over recent months.

Several factors contribute to this deceleration:

• Economic Uncertainty: Ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States have introduced economic unpredictability, prompting potential buyers to adopt a cautious approach.

• Affordability Challenges: Despite some stabilization in mortgage rates, affordability remains a significant concern, particularly in urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver.

• Increased Inventory: An uptick in new listings has led to a more balanced market, offering buyers a wider selection but also contributing to downward pressure on prices.

This environment presents opportunities for buyers to negotiate and make more informed decisions without the pressure of bidding wars. On the other hand, sellers may need to adjust expectations and pricing strategies to align with current market conditions.
