By mid-Q3 2026, the average home selling price in the GTA dipped to $993K\u2014a drop of about 3% year-over-year\u2014signaling a continued easing and more negotiating space for buyers. Condo apartments averaged $618K, also falling below last year&#039;s level, but the spotlight is on micro condos (under 500 sq-ft), which faced the steepest declines. These compact units have become the toughest sell, as more buyers opt for larger spaces or see more choices opening up. In early Q3, about 98% of GTA neighbourhoods with at least five condo sales saw properties go for less than the asking price, giving buyers more room to negotiate than usual. Single-family homes experienced underbidding in roughly 92% of neighbourhoods as well, though condos felt the effects more deeply due to waning investor interest.<\/p>\n<p>My approach has always been rooted in clarity and patience\u2014skills sharpened by years in IT and teaching\u2014so I keep a close eye on these trends, especially as they impact both first-time buyers and seasoned investors.
