    November 2025 Toronto Market Stats

    There were no surprises in the residential resale market data provided by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board for the month of November. As forecast in previous Market Reports, home sales and average sale prices on a year-over-year basis continued to decline. Condominium apartment sales, both in the City of Toronto and the 905 Region, posted substantial declines compared to the same month last year.

    This Moore Park home is ideally situated just steps from Yonge and St. Clair and surrounded by Toronto’s extensive ravine system, this refreshed three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a quiet retreat with unmatched urban convenience.


    We are pleased to share the successful sale of 115 Leslie St.

    This transaction was a true testament to strategy and resilience in a shifting market. We initially listed the property at a price intended to attract multiple offers. While many buyers loved the home, few were willing to compete. After re-listing at a price that aligned with our sellers’ expectations, we received three solid offers and ultimately sold the property above the re-list price to a wonderful couple.

    If this market has taught us anything, it’s that patience and perseverance matter. In this case, the old saying “the first offer is always your best” simply didn’t apply.

    Michelle Phillips, you navigated this transaction beautifully. Your professionalism and commitment to our clients truly shone through.

    We are excited for our sellers as they begin their next chapter in Toronto’s west end.
