GTA Real Estate Market Shifts: How Homebuyers Are Winning in 2025!

GTA Real Estate Market Update: June 2025

Monthly Mortgage Rate Updates

The Bank of Canada has decided to hold the policy rate steady at 2.75% as of June 4th, 2025. This decision came amid global economic uncertainty and stable yet cautious economic conditions. A key factor in holding the rates includes concerns over ongoing trade disputes affecting economic confidence.

The Prime Rate remains at 5.70%. Here are the best available mortgage rates currently:

  • 3-Year Fixed: 4.72%
  • 5-Year Fixed: 3.91%
  • 3-Year Variable: 5.50%
  • 5-Year Variable: 4.05%

Industry experts predict potential rate cuts later this year due to anticipated economic slowdowns.

Real Estate Market Insights – GTA

Sales Activity

In May 2025, GTA REALTORS® reported a total of 6,244 home sales, representing a 13.3% decrease compared to the same month last year. Despite this annual dip, a month-over-month increase signals a slightly improving market sentiment.

TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule noted, “Homebuyers today have more inventory to choose from and are finding greater affordability across many property types and neighbourhoods.”

New Listings

May saw 21,819 new listings—up 14% compared to May 2024, giving buyers more negotiating power and choices in today’s market.

Prices

The average selling price for a GTA home was $1,120,879, down by 4% compared with May 2024. The MLS Home Price Index Composite benchmark also saw a decrease of 4.5%.

TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer commented, “Lower borrowing costs and home prices have improved affordability, positioning buyers in a favourable market condition.”

Legal Insight: Common-Law Property Rights

In a landmark Ontario case this past May, the courts clarified property divisions for common-law couples. Previously, common-law partners had limited protections compared to married couples. The court ruled that property acquired during the relationship can now be fairly divided based on contributions made by each partner—even if only one name appears on the title.

This case highlights the importance of legal agreements between common-law partners regarding asset management, critical information for both buyers and sellers.
