Market Analysis

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board's analysis for April 2026 reveals a Composite Benchmark Price of $1,279,700, marking an increase from March's $1,242,000. Despite this monthly growth, the Composite Benchmark Price reflects a year-over-year change of -1.9%. The average price across all property types reached $1,780,833 during the month.

Total sales activity in April saw 24 transactions, a notable rise from the 18 sales recorded in March 2026. New listings for the month totaled 58, contributing to 76 active listings by month-end, an increase from 63 active listings in March. The sales-to-new listings ratio (SNLR) stands at 41.4%.

These dynamics point to a sellers' market condition, supported by a Months of Inventory (MOI) figure of 3.2, which is a decrease from 3.5 months in March. This tighter inventory suggests continued competition among buyers for available properties.
