🏡 GTA Market by Property Type – August 2025
| Property Type | Average Price | New Listings | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,312,240 | 6,418 | 2,411 |
| Semi-Detached | $980,102 | 945 | 441 |
| Townhouse (Att/Row) | $946,395 | 1,240 | 541 |
| Condo Apartment | $642,195 | 4,159 | 1,369 |
| Condo Townhouse | $739,341 | 1,108 | 386 |
📈 Key Market Insights
Detached Homes: Prices are softer, but sales increased, showing strong buyer interest as more listings came online.
Semi-Detached Homes: A modest drop in price paired with steady sales activity keeps this category balanced.
Townhouses: Prices climbed, but sales slowed significantly — affordability challenges are weighing on this segment.
Condo Apartments: Both prices and sales dipped, reflecting cautious buyer activity.
Condo Townhouses: Stable with only slight declines, making this one of the more balanced property types this month.
These shifts align with broader affordability pressures tied to interest rates. The Bank of Canada’s key interest rate remains a driving factor in buyer decision-making, particularly for entry-level homes and condos. Meanwhile, Statistics Canada housing data continues to show that supply and demand imbalances are shaping price movements across Ontario.
