Out of 267 neighbourhoods, 97% saw homes sell below asking and just 1% sold at asking price, which means bidding wars have become a rare sight across the region. I\u2019m noticing that the gap between condos and single-family homes is narrowing: 95% of single-family neighbourhoods and 98% of condo areas were underbid, indicating that both market segments are seeing less pressure. An economist even described Mid-Q3 as one of the quietest periods GTA real estate has seen lately, which aligns with what I\u2019m observing on the ground\u2014less competition can bring more opportunities for buyers who are well-prepared. Of the 4,200 homes sold in Mid-Q3, 79% went for below asking, further confirming the trend. Having guided clients through shifting markets in West Toronto, I know how important it is to navigate these quieter times with the right strategy and clear communication. My goal is to ensure you\u2019re positioned for success, whether the market is heated or calm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buyer competition in the GTA is continuing to soften, with only 2% of qualifying neighbourhoods entering into overbidding situations in Mid-Q3\u2014down from 3% earlier in the quarter.
