When most people think of the real estate market, the spring and fall seasons usually come to mind as the “prime” times to sell. But what about the holiday season? If you’re considering selling your Toronto home during the holidays, you may be surprised to learn that this window—though less crowded—can offer unique advantages for motivated sellers. With the right strategy, your listing can stand out and attract serious buyers eager to make a move before year-end.
For years, our philosophy has been simple: real estate is a long-term play—and every purchase is an investment. Seasonality in Toronto doesn’t change that truth; it amplifies it. Winter tends to bring fewer buyers and slower activity, which can create pockets of value for investors who know how to read the market and negotiate accordingly.

Toronto’s fall real estate market is often misunderstood. While spring typically gets the spotlight, fall can still offer strong opportunities for sellers—especially those who position their listings strategically. With average GTA home prices down around 5% year-over-year and condos averaging $651,000 in July 2025, sellers need to be mindful of today’s conditions. A slower, more balanced market means buyers have choices, and the best-prepared listings are the ones that generate multiple offers and strong final prices.
Toronto isn’t just Canada’s business capital—it’s one of North America’s biggest student hubs. Each September, tens of thousands of students return to the University of Toronto (UofT), Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU, formerly Ryerson), and York University, triggering a predictable leasing surge that smart investors can bank on.
In real estate, location has always been the cornerstone of value. In Toronto, location and transit access are practically synonymous. As the city grows denser and commuting becomes more challenging, properties with strong transit connectivity increasingly command a premium. The new TTC Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown LRT—a 19-kilometre light rail project set to reshape east-west transit across midtown Toronto—is one of the most significant infrastructure investments in the city’s history.
Toronto’s condo market has always been a barometer for the city’s real estate health. For first-time investors looking to enter the market, the question isn’t whether condos are a viable option—they are. The real question is where the best entry points are right now.

When it comes to building wealth through real estate, long-term performance matters more than short-term fluctuations. Calgary, often seen as one of Canada’s most resilient and opportunity-rich housing markets, has shown consistent growth that continues to attract both local and out-of-province investors. Since 2005, Calgary’s real estate values have appreciated at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5.1%—a powerful metric that reinforces the city’s stability and long-term wealth-building potential.
Ontario’s housing market is showing signs of stability, with the Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) hovering around 40.4%. For buyers, this is significant. It signals a balanced market—where neither buyers nor sellers hold a dominant advantage. In a landscape that has swung between overheated bidding wars and cautious slowdowns over the past few years, today’s balanced conditions open the door for strategic buyers ready to take advantage of this stability.
The Toronto and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market has delivered a clear headline for Q3 2025: prices are down. The average home price across the GTA has slipped to $1.05M, representing a 5% year-over-year decline. Meanwhile, the MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark dropped 5.4% compared to last year.
For some, that might spark concern. But for long-term investors, the current correction could be the exact window of opportunity they’ve been waiting for.
Navigating the Greater Toronto Area's housing landscape in 2025 can feel daunting—but current conditions suggest that now may be the most opportune time for wealth-building buyers to step in. Here's why affordability is improving, and how you can make concrete moves toward homeownership or investment.
After our chat with Amit last week I wanted to apply the mind set 'anyone can get a mortgage'. I wanted to show everyone why they want to get multiple mortgages. I show people how I turned my first investment condo into 2 additional condos.
I just purchased my most recent investment condo in Calgary because I strongly believe that it will be the next city to JUMP in price as tech jobs and international money start to flow in in. Calgary has been dependent on the oil and gas industry but it's pro-investment, anti-tax environment is attracting a huge influx of investment and it is experiencing large economic diversification.
Our upcoming Webinar will go into detail about the changes that are happening in Calgary beyond the headlines.
