As we move through 2025 and look ahead to early 2026, Ontario’s real estate market continues to lean toward a balanced-to-buyer-friendly environment. Sales activity remains soft but stable, with elevated inventory giving purchasers more options and stronger negotiating leverage. Average home prices are expected to remain mostly flat or dip slightly across many regions as affordability constraints and cautious buyer sentiment continue to shape the market. Although steady interest rates may support a modest uptick in activity, overall momentum is projected to stay subdued through the winter and into the first part of 2026.

In this month’s update, we break down the key trends influencing Ontario’s housing outlook:

• Where prices are heading as we enter 2026
• How elevated inventory is shaping buyer and seller strategies
• What to expect as the market transitions from December into the early months of 2026

Whether you're planning to buy, sell, invest, or simply stay informed — this update gives you the clarity you need in a changing market.
