While row and apartment-style properties continue to experience higher supply compared to demand, detached and semi-detached segments remain relatively balanced.
“Improved rental supply and easing rents have slowed ownership demand for apartment and row-style homes,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB® Chief Economist. “Excess supply in these segments is placing more pressure on prices.”
The benchmark residential price in October was $568,000, down nearly one per cent from September and over four per cent lower than last year.
Prices remain steady overall, though regional variations persist — from modest gains in the City Centre to declines in the North East.
Although inventory is up slightly, prices remain resilient — still over three per cent higher year-to-date.
Increased supply continues to weigh on prices, especially in the North East and North districts.
Buyer’s market conditions persist, with elevated supply continuing to pressure prices downward.
