June 2025 GTA & Vaughan Real Estate Market Update: Signs of Recovery Amidst Caution

As we move into the summer of 2025, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market is exhibiting early signs of stabilization. Following a period of subdued activity, recent data suggests a cautious resurgence in buyer interest, influenced by improved affordability and a more balanced market.

📊 GTA Market Overview: A Gradual Uptick

In May 2025, the GTA witnessed its most significant monthly increase in home sales in four months, with transactions rising by 8.4% to 4,693 units. This uptick is attributed to enhanced housing affordability, driven by declining borrowing costs. The home price index experienced a slight monthly increase of 0.1% to C$992,800, marking the first rise since November, although it remains 4.5% lower year-over-year .reuters.com+1reuters.com+1

Despite the monthly gains, year-over-year sales were down 13.3%, indicating that while buyer activity is improving, it hasn't fully rebounded to previous levels. New listings increased by 14%, providing buyers with more options in the market.trreb.ca+2reuters.com+2ctvnews.ca+2
