GTA Condo Market Sees Steady Demand Amid Fewer Listings
The GTA condo market continues to feel the pressure, with July bringing a noticeable shift. While 1,564 condos found new owners, average prices dipped by 7.35%, settling at $535,200. What’s particularly interesting is how the current supply is shaping buyer opportunities—new listings are now 2.6 times higher than sales, giving buyers extra negotiating power. This is a different landscape compared to the more limited supply in detached homes. My experience in home value and construction has taught me that market dynamics like these can open doors for well-prepared clients. Navigating these shifts with a client-first approach remains my focus, ensuring that whether you’re buying or selling, you always feel informed and supported.

Neighbourhoods where homes are selling for over asking in the Greater Toronto Area
It’s always fascinating to see how the real estate landscape shifts from month to month. In July, only 3% of Greater Toronto Area neighborhoods saw homes selling above asking price, a decrease from 6% in June. Most communities experienced underbidding, while the trend of over-asking offers shifted toward more affordable neighbourhoods such as Richmond Hill and Markham.

As someone who’s grown up and worked across Durham Region, I keep a close eye on these patterns—not just for numbers’ sake, but to help clients make informed choices. My hands-on background means I understand what drives value, especially in changing markets. Whether you’re buying or selling, staying connected to the realities of each neighbourhood can make all the difference for a smooth experience.

Ontario Needs New Infrastructure Financing for Housing
As someone who’s spent a lifetime rooted in Durham Region, I know that building truly livable communities in Ontario means more than just approving new developments or tweaking zoning rules. Behind every new neighbourhood are essential investments—water, roads, utilities, parks, and site remediation—all of which need to be in place before a single family can move in. These infrastructure costs often hit long before a builder ever sees income from sales or rentals, leading to tough choices: higher prices, project redesigns, or delays that leave families waiting.

Currently, Ontario’s reimbursement approach only covers some growth-related costs after the fact, and it leaves developers carrying a lot of financial risk. There’s a real opportunity here for a made-in-Ontario district financing model—one that could allow these big, long-term infrastructure investments to be paid off over time, with clear municipal oversight and transparent levies tied directly to the properties that benefit. This wouldn’t replace the need for planning reform or better construction financing, but it could help more projects actually get built, opening the door for more families to find a place to call home.

Having seen firsthand how infrastructure shapes our communities, I believe creative, fair solutions like this are a step toward making housing more accessible and communities stronger across our region.

Ontario New Housing Shows Optimism
We’re seeing fresh optimism in Ontario’s new housing landscape. Recent government actions have helped spark a rise in home sales and a steady increase in proposed and enrolled new homes, hinting at renewed confidence among both buyers and builders. As someone who’s spent years helping families across Durham Region, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on these early market indicators—enrolment activity, for example, often signals builders are gearing up for construction.

That said, the broader economy and housing market are still finding their footing. Residential real estate insolvencies remain higher than usual, which is a real concern for buyers navigating their next move. For those looking at new freehold homes, there’s a valuable safeguard: if you sign up within 45 days, you can enhance your deposit protection up to $100,000 and get earlier access to warranty guidance. It’s one more way to protect your investment and bring peace of mind to the process.

Looking ahead, there’s a hopeful outlook for the rest of the year—more quality homes, improved affordability, and safeguards that put buyers first. I always strive to keep my clients informed and protected, drawing on my hands-on knowledge of construction and my deep roots in our community. Let’s keep working together to make your real estate journey as smooth and safe as possible.
