🧊 Toronto’s Condo Market Is Cooling — Fast
In what was once Canada’s hottest real estate zone, the condo market in Toronto is facing a deep freeze. Despite falling interest rates, buyer hesitation and investor pullback have created the largest gap between supply and demand the GTA has seen in over a decade.
According to new industry reports, condo construction starts are down more than 20% year-over-year, and over 32,000 residential listings are now active across the GTA. A large share of those? Unsold condos — both new builds and resale units.
While smaller towns across Canada are seeing a modest uptick in new builds, Toronto and Vancouver are pulling the national average down, with developers hitting pause amid weak buyer interest and pre-construction uncertainty.
📉 Condo Values Falling Despite Rate Cuts
Even with lending rates easing slightly in 2025, condo values in Canada dropped 7% in May alone, matching some of the steepest annual declines seen since 2005. Much of this price softness is being driven by large urban markets like Toronto, where units are sitting longer and buyers remain cautious.
Several factors are driving the chill:
- Rising household debt and cost of living concerns
- Lingering effects from last year’s high interest rate cycle
- Market uncertainty linked to international trade and policy
- Overbuilding without enough qualified buyers
