Understanding the Current GTA Real Estate Market

As of December 2025, the Bank of Canada’s rate sits at 2.25%, a crucial factor in shaping the real estate landscape.
Key Market Trends in 2025
Despite recent declines, the GTA witnessed its best July in four years, largely due to an interest rate cut. However, experts like Foch predict a deeper housing correction, with Royal LePage projecting a 4.5% drop in home prices by the end of 2026.
