Love the Toronto Lifestyle? Make it Permanent.

While you're out exploring the best neighbourhoods in the city this weekend, you might notice more "For Sale" signs than usual. January 2026 is officially a Buyer’s Market in Toronto. With inventory levels up significantly and the average home price currently sitting around $891,000, buyers now have the leverage to negotiate that wasn't possible a few years ago.

If you’ve been waiting for the "right time" to enter the market or move into a new neighbourhood:

• Take advantage of the selection: Inventory is at a decade-high in some sectors, giving you the luxury of choice.

• Leverage the new rules: Remember that the insured mortgage cap was recently raised to $1.5 million, making it easier to buy with less than 20% down.
