Most Toronto Homes Are Now Selling Below Asking — Here’s What That Means for Buyers

After years of bidding wars and record-breaking home prices, the tides in the Toronto real estate market have shifted in 2025.

According to recent data, a growing number of homes across the GTA are now selling for less than their list price—a trend that’s opening new doors for smart buyers and strategic investors.

🔍 The Shift: From Overbidding to Undercutting

Back in the pandemic-era market, homes were routinely selling for hundreds of thousands over asking. Today, many listings are sitting longer—and sellers are adjusting expectations.

📊 Current Market Snapshot:

  • The average sale-to-list price ratio across the GTA has dipped below 100%
  • Certain neighbourhoods are seeing price reductions of 5–10% before offers even roll in
  • First-time buyers and move-up buyers are re-entering the market with more negotiating power

🏡 Why It’s Good News for Homebuyers

If you’ve been waiting for the market to cool down, this is your moment.

Fewer bidding wars = more options, lower prices, and room to negotiate.
